  1.  

     

    There was nothing miraculous about those wins .I dont know how anyone can follow the NFL the past couple of years and think a one score lead is safe in a passing league.

     

    the ability to close out games is paramount in this league GB,Cards,Cowboys have all been on the ropes in the 4th but they found ways to pull out wins even though they may not have played there best .

     

    I dont get why fans put these unrealistic conditions of winning on their own teams but nobody elses .

     

    I'm not saying this team is great, but in the words of John Facenda, "Great teams aren't always great. They're just great when they have to be."

  2. even the ESPN blogger thinks it may happen (IMO I've yet to see him post as optimistic WRT Buffalo)

    In the meantime, here is a look at the golden opportunity that awaits this team between now and December:

     

    Week 6 -- vs. New England

    Week 7 -- vs. Minnesota Vikings (2-3)

    Week 8 -- at New York Jets (1-4)

    Week 9 -- bye

    Week 10 -- vs. Kansas City Chiefs (2-3)

    Week 11 -- at Miami Dolphins (2-2)

    Week 12 -- vs. Jets (1-4)

    Week 13 -- vs. Cleveland Browns (2-3)

     

    Ok... which one of you is Rodak and why are you stealing my thread topics for your crappy ESPN blog?

  3. New England, KC, and Miami are all tough games, although KC at home coming off the bye helps.

     

    I'm hoping to see some progress from Orton as he settles in. Definitely some good signs and well ahead of where EJ is right now.

     

    Right now I just want to see us get our 4th win as soon as possible before worrying about wins 5 and beyond, and not look past New England. But hitting the bye at even 5-3 would be great, and set us up for that manageable four game November schedule before our more difficult December.

     

    Luckily, most of us here aren't on the roster, so we can feel free to look at, and beyond, the New England game.

     

    Do I want the team to be looking at things like I am now? Absolutely not. But, because neither I nor anybody else here will have even the slightest impact on the results of the upcoming games (short of creating volume problems for visiting teams), it is a wonderful feeling to be able to have a conversation like this. It is okay for fans to look into the future and hazard guesses or show optimism that extends beyond the coming weekend. Enjoy it. When was the last time we could even think about such a thing?

  4. I still think it is a little early to fully assess the trade, being only 5 games in. I did, however , vote "Yes, he's worth it" because I am leaning heavily in that direction and think he will at the very least be the best receiver this team has seen since Eric Moulds, by far.

  5. All winnable. At Jersey usually tough but wow are they bad. NE is critical. Also, TNF games, even tho it is against our B*tch, are very tough to win for the road team and they will be desperate to beat us. Might even get 20k fans.

     

    They should have an "Orange Out" at Sun Life stadium. Maybe then all of the empty seats could be mistaken for fans...

     

    If we play to our capability, we can win each game. But, this being the NFL, and us not being dominating. I'm realistically expecting a 4-3 run.

     

    I can see potential losses to NE* and KC, but who else in the next seven weeks do you see being as big a threat as those two to give us the third "L"?
