Looking ahead, it's only going to get worse

bumpy implies that we'll have upward movement

If we do get a top 5 pick and there's a QB there that is a potential franchise QB, i think you've got to take him.

If I'm the skins, i'm trading away players for picks, picks, and more picks. The more picks the more olineman we can draft. Maybe Vinny can hit on one or two.
We don't really have many desirable players though.. the only ones that might get some interest are on the back end of their contracts, which means that they're getting paid about 3x current worth.

The optimist in me feels the need to point out that we often rise to the occasion against division rivals. See last year: we lost to the Rams, Bengals, and Niners, but swept the Iggles and split with the Boys.

I'm not saying that everything is ok. I'm just saying that it might not be as bad as it seems. We could be 4-3 at the bye.

We will not sweep the Eagles this year. Shoot they look just as strong or stronger with Kolb in there. Maclin is going to be hot with Donovan there. Split with the Boys is quite possible, if not probable. Gmen are just too strong. WE can beat the AFC West for sure, but ATL and NO, forget about it. Too many weapons with those two teams and our running game is suffering. Shoot, NFL.com fantasy writers say to trade Portis ASAP( I have him). Realistically, the best we can hope for is 7-9. You can't expect to beat those NFC powerhouses scoring only 14-17 points. Our D is good, but has only gone up against one top notch team all year(NY) and the Gmen are stronger now than then, as they are running on all cylinders. If we lose to KC next weekend it is going to be 5-11 or 6-10. Fans need to start carrying anti Snyder signs into Fedex and wear bags on their heads, or better yet not show up. This needs to go on for a while, but it will get media attention and Snyder's ass will be held accountable. People really were starting to harp on the Fords and all those blackouts Detroit has had the past few seasons caught up to them. Snyder has no reason to change direction if he is maxing out the profits still.

I predict that we turn it around, go 8-3 from now, finish 10-6, and make it to the NFC championship game.

There. Someone had to say it.

It IS possible. You have brass balls for saying it Lotus. :food-smil

How is it that Jeremy Bridges wasn't good enough to make a team with a cruddy O-line, but he can make the active roster of a team that was in Super Bowl last year? And didn't he start 14 games last year for the Panthers... one of the most dominant run teams of a year ago??? I wonder if we could use him right about now.

Bridges is with the Steelers?

No more dealing draft picks. We need as many as we can get to build the team. We have been doing that since Gibbs came back and that has set this team back plenty in terms of overall talent and depth. Haynesworth will be another Wilkinson, some production, but not to the level he was expected to do. Hall looks like he might pan out, but we still overpaid him. If we do finish below .500 we still could land a top QB, just not the big names. Look at Flacco and Ryan. Solid Qbs that were not top headliners.

Man...does anyone have faith these days? You need to believe in these guys Lotus.

I personally believe that we will go 12-0 from here on out and then play in the Super Bowl on Feb 30th...Hail to the Redskins!

You said the Super Bowl was Feb. 30 and I believed you. I bought in to what you had to say and went out and bought tickets from a scalper who told me he had a boatload of tickets for the Feb. 30th Super Bowl. Now I find out the Super Bowl is Feb. 7th and I'm out 1500 dollars! I thought this was a board for educated posters and now I'm not only out of my money but out of my dream of attending a Super Bowl! As long as people keep putting this kind of stuff out there we''ll keep putting money into the pockets of crooked scalpers and the corruption will never end!........... J/K Tee. :)
