3 things from a very optimisitc fan.

[heybigstar]

These questions/comments come from me not to put down our beloved team, but to raise some issues that i think are relevant for our franchise.


1. If we lose to the Eagles this week, our playoff hopes become less than 10% (virtually impossible).

At 4-4 and last place in our division coupled with a tough schedule coming up, it would be very tough to make a run at 10-6. If we win and we make it to 5-3, it would still be tough, however TB at TB looks winnable now.


2. Even though he has been injured this year, Is Clinton Portis overrated?

I like him a lot, I do. But he makes more than any RB in the league. Plus, Denver has proven to plug in multiple 1000 yd runners. He is a good RB, no doubt. But is he as explosive as he has been hyped up to be?


3. Will our team be able to fight off injuries and still be effective?

All teams get injuries. That is not the problem. But teams like the patriots and the eagles can play playoff caliber football even when they lose 5-6 starters from their team. I feel that if we lose even one offensive lineman, our O-line play drops off considerably. I think we need more depth there. Also, I think losing Cooley is big, because i think Robert Royal is not a good H-back.

On defense, injuries to the D-line seem like they can be adjusted to. But not having Griffin really hurts.
