Still waiting for someone here to say they'd rather have Seattle's or St. Louis' roster over ours.


This ranking system he has come up with is nothing more than opinion of this guy.

It has most certainly ruffled some feathers here.

They finished 7-9 last year, playing a FIRST PLACE schedule.

The chances of them getting worse, even with Cassel, are very small.


Last years schedule wasn't hard. We lost 5 games to non-playoff teams and beat 2 teams picking in the top 3. Great accomplishment.

I'd rather have Sam Bradford or Russell Wilson as our QB. As far as I'm concerned, you build your roster around your QB rather than build a team and then pray that your QB doesn't lose every game for you.

DOn't forget that two or three of those wins were absolute flukes.

Our 2011 "first-place schedule" featured:

Ryan Fitzpatrick
Donovan McNabb
Curtis Painter
Kyle Boller
Matt Moore
Tim Tebow x2
Caleb Hanie
Mark Sanchez
Carson Palmer

That's 10 pretty laughable quarterbacks, some of whom beat us.

More difficult matchups:

Philip Rivers x2
Tom Brady
Ben Roethlisberger
Aaron Rodgers
Matt Stafford

Our 2012 "last-place schedule" features:

Matt Ryan
Drew Brees
Philip Rivers x2
Joe Flacco
Josh Freeman
Ben Roethlisberger
Andy Dalton
Peyton Manning x2
Cam Newton

Easier matchups:

Ryan Fitzpatrick
Carson Palmer x2
Cleveland's QB
Andrew Luck.

Just looking at the quarterbacks we have to play, the 2012 schedule is BY FAR more difficult than 2011.

My head just exploded.

I understand the concept. But, other than a QB (Wilson is a big question mark, obv) would you really, honestly take their roster over ours?

No way in Hell I would; but maybe that's just me.

And IMO; Bradford (thus far) has not been deserving of his draft spot.

So, you have no faith on our D?

I have a lot of faith in our D to keep the game close while Cassel loses it.

And FYI, with Cassel, teams like the Saints, Falcons and most likely the Broncos will blow us out because he sucks at third-down conversions.

You'd have a point if this were 1996.

We went 9-7 in in 1996 and missed the playoffs with a very solid defense and a top rushing attack.

I'll give you 1 guess why.

BigMeatballDave 04-30-2012 04:08 PM

Could someone please explain to me why its cool to be so negative about your favorite team?

It's called being realistic.
