After watching this MEDIOCRITY tonight, I'm convinced

[theebs]

I dont think anything leads me to believe anything about this team.

Last year at the start of the year I would have bet my house and everything I have that we at least win one playoff game.

the team was following the traditional growing pains winning teams take. Multiple seasons under a strict disciplanarian leading to an excruciating playoff loss in seattle. Then two years under a softy who lets everybody do what everybody wants to do or say and setting the table for themselves in the best way since 95 only to blow it at home.

I thought we would be a focused and determined team that would finish around 11-5 and at least win a wild card game.

Going into next year I am not convinced we finish .500 if everything stays the way it is right now. I dont think the crap has hit the fan yet and with all the whining something has to give. Throw in the media and how they are going to attack wade phillips each week and he clearly can not handle it and this is going to be a more tense situation than last year.

I wouldnt bet a single dollar on us making the playoffs next year.

It's good that you have such low expectations for '09 -- I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.

Going to the playoffs every year doesn't equate to the SB success look at the Colts if you don't believe me.

And? Where did I say it did?

 

[DaBoys4Life]

Yeah, with all that mediocrity out there and we couldn't even make the playoffs. But the SB next year is ours for the taking. Yeah, right.

And? Where did I say it did?

Your sarcastic comment at the end of your sentence would lead one to believe that we wouldn't win the superbowl because we didn't make the playoffs last year.

 

[DaBoys4Life]

And just because "some" fans have the nerve to think they were not Super Bowl Contenders doesn't mean they listen to ESPN.

Point taken...on a completely unrelated note....Are you a OP fan.... I see your avatar is a WB flag.

The extremely potent offense of the Cardinals would rip through us, and they did.

Wow, 14 first downs, two turnovers, 276 yards and 17 points is "ripping through us"?

Exaggerate much?

Good Point ST lost that game for us. Ruined our season....

I am hoping so.

But right now my expectations are very low.

Which hopefully shoud make for a very exciting season.

Right now I am expecting to watch roy williams, terrell owens and crayton yell at romo and garrett on the biggest HD screen in the world!!!!!!!

Watching holmgren doing the pregame stuff makes me really look forward to seeing if he comes here. I would absolutely love that guy coming here.

And yet some think we should be favorites for the Super Bowl even though we couldn't even make the playoffs in a mediocre league. That sure makes sense.

Considering the team that went to the superbowl from the NFC didn't make the playoffs the year before finished with the same record as us and won their division for the first time in IDK how many years I don't see why we wouldn't be favored.

Special teams and Deon Anderson, that is.

He needs to be cut....

 

[CF74]

We were a contender last year. This year we were a pretender.

Sadly its all about coaching and leadership. Which we ain't got.

Bottom line.

Well, we are the favorites in the NFC, according to Vegas --

And the favorites in the AFC didn't make the playoffs, either.

Yes, but part of us being "favorites" is that we have a huge fan base which means that a ton of people will be betting on us. So part of it is having a good team but also part is the number of bets expected. So what the odds makers are saying is that they think we'll be pretty good and that they'll get a ton of bets on us.
