Saints
Eagles
@Carolina *
@Jets *
@Giants *
Bills
@Bucs
Redskins
Bucs

* = I can't tell the difference. Put them in any order.

What is the point of this post?

Create a little positive energy. Given the recent play of the Giants and Jets, it is really hard to think of anyone as all that tough to beat once you get past the Saints and Eagles...and BOTH of those are at home.

I have had us at 9 or 10 wins all season. I've repeated that many times.

It is not beyond the realm of realism to think we could get out of this season with as few as one more loss. I'm not predicting that, but it is a possible scenario.

That's probably about right, but Giants are coming off a bye when we play them... OF ******* COURSE, so they may have fixed lots of their current problems by then.

It's awful sweet of you to rank the Saints game as the toughest, but objectively I think both away games in NY are potentially bigger tests. The Jets aren't playing as fierce as they started the season, but that defense is no joke. And the Giants may still win that division, they are well-coached and loaded with talent. Plus, it's gonna be cold and windy more than likely.

Who knows what Carolina is going to do, honestly, but never look past them.

Tough games...can go either way in all of them.

That said I feel we can win against all of those teams. The Saints are arguably the best team in football and I think we can play with them. Every other team listed, while tough in areas, has its flaws. Things change in the league from week to week and going on the road against both NY teams will be tough, but I honestly wouldn't be surprised if we ran the table.

Dropping 2 or 3 might be more realistic, but with our backs against the walls barring injury I could see is going on a serious win streak.

I think we will 11-5 again. We will improve week after week, and we should get Norwood and Snelling back. The defense is improving too.

Objectively, I live in Albany, NY. If there are any two teams I get to see broken down daily in this area its the Giants and the Jets...followed closely by NEP. Going on the road is never easy, but both of those teams have some major weaknesses. I'll break them down when the games get closer. NO is a division game. I think we could win that game, but if you ask any fan who doesn't live in Atlanta, objectively, you will hear that the Saints are the best team left on our schedule.

So we had taints, Skins, Cowboys, and Bears after a bye week.

Now the Giants, our Schedule is crap this year. Wish we had the saints schedule.

We should win at least five more. Probably lose one we should have won and win one we should have lost.

I can give you my dream scenario:

We win out, beat the Cowboys, Saints, and/or Vikings in the playoffs then destroy the Pats in the Superbowl.

We're dreaming here aren't we?

No, we didn't have Saints after a bye, we had them after a close lose, which is just slightly better for us than a lose. They prepared HARD after almost dropping that one to Miami. Just like we prepared hard after Dallas.

Eh, I'm sick of seeing the Pats in the Super Bowl. If we do get that far, I'd like to see us get revenge on the Broncos for Super Bowl XXXIII in Miami on the same field. RE-MATCH.

For now, though, I'm going to focus on the Redskins game. :-)
