OK, this is about as homeristic as I'll ever get, but looking at the schedule and at how some of the teams we have to face are playing, I don't think it's much of a stretch to say we can go 13-3 this season. A loss to Indy and a loss to the Falcons get us there. At worst I see us trading wins with the Giants and Eagles, which would make us 11-5. Nobody else on the schedule really concerns me. Of course, all of this assumes we stay healthy. (knock on wood!)

13-3 would require us to sweep the east, which i don't see happening, and which does not happen very often (for anyone) to begin with.

11-5 is much more realistic.

I agree...I havent seen anything from this team so far to make me think we're an overwhelming, 13-3 or 14-2 type team...we gave up 3tds on opening day to a team thats scored two tds since

I think 10-6 or 11-5 is about the best we can do...I'll be thrilled if we somehow do go 13-3, but I dont see it happening

I'd be happy beating the Titans.

From there on I'll take it week by week.

Agreed. No need to speculate. It is a long season.
If we didn't speculate here there'd be about 3 threads a week.

Speculation is fine... but these "13-3" threads are a little "Extreme" if you catch my meaning.

Right now we've lost to a good team in Jax and beaten a bad team in Washington. We haven't proven anything yet, much less indicated that we're going to sweep our division and pretty much run the table.

For now I'd settle for back-to-back wins and beating the teams that we should beat.

The big measuring stick will be Philly in Philly. If we beat them, then I'll start getting excited!

I don't see anyone in the NFC East escaping any better than 10-6....11-5 would be a herculean effort...it just won't happen, but hopefully that will prepare us for the playoff road.

We have the best defense in the division, they just have to prove they can bring it each week.

Right. How many threads are there a week now. Remove the 50 threads of Ware vs. Merriman. the 50 on Will BP be our coach next year, which leads to the 50 threads of who will be our next coach. Then that leaves the 50 of Romo vs. Bledsoe. Hmmmm....let's see, oh then the 50 of what QB do we get next. 50 on bring back Quincy, 50 on Fg kicker, 500 of TO...can't forget that.

So I say, yeah, 3 about right.

i think the best we will do is 9-7. we have to many road games to start the first half of the season and it will take a toll on us. the three games in row is a killer for us. i think we start 4-5 in first nine games. then will go 5-2 down the last half of the season because of the five home games. i think the eagles will win the division because of there easy games in first half of the season and will hang on in the end of the year. we will be fighting the giants for one of the wildcard spots. we are not a dominant team who will win more than ten games. our defense is too eractic one week to the next and our offense cannot impose it will on any defense and put teams away in the end of games.

11-5 or 12-4

is my prediction..i dun think the falcons have the potential really..they dun scare me...all i say we do is blitz..n have 1 safety deep....our corners can lock thier recivers down..especially with mike vick throwing under pressure

You got that right, week by week is the only way to go in the NFL these days.
