WTF are we gonna beat out of the decent teams? We have no passing game worth a ****? Tell me Matt Cassel is gonna lead us to victory JUST 1 ****IN time... Aint gonna happen.

Good point.

To me the lesten with McCluster is to not get stuck in the box. We needed inside the box type players in alot of peoples minds. A NT, a prototype WR or a center. We didn't go that route but the players we did draft are producing and probably more so then a typical draft picks. We didn't reach we picked guys who can play. I like it.

I think we get 8 easy. We still have 6 games left at home alone. The Titans are probably the toughest game at home we have. Even if we lose to them, lose all our road games and just win the remaining 5 at home that is 8 right there. I think we steal one on the road perhaps against Houston or St. Louis. I think we win on the road at Oakland and have a good shot of beating Denver at their house.

That's a good way to skirt the question asked, I guess.

So we won't get 6 more wins out of playing Oakland 2X, Denver 2X, Jacksonville, Buffallo, Arizona,Seattle,and the Rams?

Exactly who is decent out of that lot?

Certainly not Oakland, Buffalo, Jacksonville, Arizona, Stl, or Seattle.

So....uh...who are we going to lose to?

I think we can get at least 3 more road wins...

Seattle
St. Louis
Oakland

That coupled with wins over the Jags, Cards and Bills puts us at 9-7. 8-8 should be an easy grab.

I'll call losses

Indy
Houston
Denver @ Denver
SD @ SD
Titans

That adds up to 11-5 which gives a 2 game cushion.

We have what every good team has.... a running game

Teams like Denver that cannot run the ball are not going to last

If given a choice between a great running game or a great QB I take the running game hands down.

You'd be surprised what a stout defense coupled with a stout running game and an average QB can do.

Yeah thats what I'm thinking too except a win at Indy and a loss to another team we should beat.

That might very well happen. I'm just calling it on paper. Nothing to say we beat Indy and lose to the Jags.

OMFG!!! Genius I just call it throwing the ball back in your buddies court!! I will stand by my prediction we don't win 8 games... Shoot me if I'm wrong.ROFL
