thats a positive i liked it better when nobody talked about us and we just went along with our business

thats exactly what i was getting at

Put aside the fact that we lost to the bengals. What would have u actually said if someone told we would have been 3-1 at the start of the season. Seriously a lot of people our down about our loss today but look at the upside, we are tied for the led in the AFC and the AFC East, only two teams have a better record than us. We have found our offense and our defense needs improvement, atleast its not like last year when we didnt have either. I measure our year on improvement and if we continue to improve as we are, then i think it will be a good season.

I someone has to step up and become the core of the defense Weather it is the experienced LB's, Barnett, Davis, Kelsay, Merriman or the DB's or the D-line. Just one part of the defense needs to stand up and as u say be the backbone

agreed, but we have to give spiller the ball sometimes, he is doing ok. and i think we can still beat anyone on our day

Spiller had a good game i want to see him get used more, Hairston did well when he was put in so yer theres two that actually did well. And not every draft pick has to start to play well, many come in on ST and do well

next week is big because as u say it shows what we r made of. If next week is a win then i think we are a good team

thats awesome

We havent tried any blitz packages all year. Tomorrow has got to be the day that they come out. Its a rookie QB and blitzing has to do more damage to him then it does to us. And i dont mean all out blitzing and leavng 3 in coverage, just enough so they have to start leaving in extra blockers and so that they cant double KW or Dareus

yep for some reason (this isnt just the defense), that even though us and the lions are the two teams undefeated that werent meant to be, they are getting more credit. read one article suggesting we wouldnt make the playoffs or have a winning season I hope the entire team still plays with a chip on their shoulder, we have for the first 3 weeks and i want it to continue because i dnt think a lot of 'experts' think we are any good

What i meant from over achieving is that they are achieving more than the outsiders thought they would. We all knew Nelson was a good slot reciever, jones was a deep threat, stevie J is just plain awesome, Freddie is a premier RB and that Fitz was a very good Leader and QB. But the rest of the world didnt know that.

Yer the offense is over achievers but not so much the defense

u cant predict which teams we will destroy

Yer Another D.Ware or another C.Woodson

sure they use him sparingly 10 carries 82 yrds 8.2 avg 1 TD are pretty good stats for someone who doesnt play when he has ran the ball he has had some pretty good runs

somebody's already said this but corey is an absolute beast on special teams

i think 1st & 2nd round must be defense. As long as 1 of them is secondry then im fine after that i dnt care as long as we get a rookie QB to back up fitz

I agree with the dont draft the RB thinking But have u seen Pead play Small and compact and SUPER QUICK

their entire line scares me with geathers back

i wanted him on their roster so spiller can just ran over him/pancake him

Miami practiculary gave them the game

^^^ Agreed, so their defense is ranked 3rd yer, well i expected them to be San Francisco have a poor QB at best The broncos dnt have a running game and the browns just dnt no how to score

Since i have been a little bored i have gone through and looked at their starters in comparison to ours. QB's: Andy Dalton: rookie, the only win the bengals had he was knocked out of the game just before half time. They came back to win after half time. In the game against the broncos he had 332 yrds. I think Dalton is nowhere near as good as Fitz and i would be suprised if we dont get force him into a few turnovers RB's: Cedric Benson: This guy really is their offense, he has a lot of yrds on a lot of carries because they dont trust dalton. If we can stop the run, then we force dalton to beat us. He has an appeal still up in the air, so he may not play, but i expect he will. If he doesnt play then Bernard Scott will start for them. Fred Jackson gets less carries but more yrds, so i expect us to win this. WR's:A.J Green, Jerome Simpson and Andre Calwell: A Rookie and a couple of vets. Green has big play potential, check out the week 1 game, but the other im not worried about. A double team on Green and hes covered. Our recievers have shown they can play if they turn up ready to play they easily win this battle. TE's: J.Gresham: a young talent, probably should watch him. After what Gronkowski did to us last week, then he will be targeted i think by Dalton. I think him and Chandler are kind of similiar. Gresham 6ft 5 Chandler 6ft 7. But i think Chandler brings more to the table in this battle. But both are good Tight Ends. O-Line: A.Smith, C.Boling, K.Cook, N.Livings, A.Whitworth: I dont know anything about these guys, would anyone like to fill me in. I know they have let 7 sacks through this season though. I seriously think our defnsive line will kill these guys. D-Line: R.Geathers, D.Peko, G.Atkins, M.Johnson: This line has been dominate getting to the QB and forcing fumble. Our O-line has to be good to stop these guys. I think this is the one spot they may have an edge on us in this area. LB's: M.Lawson, R.Maualuga, T.Howard: Again the same as their line dominant, two good solid LB's, i think we draw in this area. If our o-line can stop there d-line then there LB's may not be as dominant CB's: N.Clements, L.Hall: Lost J.Joseph, this really hurts them there CB's look weak, even with our injuries our CB's look a lot better then theirs. Safties: C.Croker, R.Nelson: again they look weak here, our improved saftey means this is a dominant win for us. Special Teams: They have a good kciker and punter, but they have lost shipley and this means they have no explosive return man And i give us the win 31-10

every analysts i listen to talks about these 2 PRO BOWL what ?!?!?!?

i think we should win, weather they have benson or not. But its the complacency that im worried about, we have to go out and score early make them throw the ball, make dalton be the one thats got to do there scoring.
