Could we run the table?

Could we run the table and win 15 in a row? All of the sudden the schedule doesn't appear as tough with an away game in London which might as we'll be another home game, strategically placed bye and a couple of Thursday games back to back which would allow us to get some walking wounded back.

The only good thing about losing the first game is that we don't have to worry about the undefeated talk. That would've been a distraction, a good one, but a distraction just the same. Going 15-1 would be great, but let's make the playoffs, win the division, get home field advantage and win multiple playoff games - in that order. If we achieve all of that, you know where we could end up. That's all that matters, not winning every game.

No way; we still have 5 divisional games, Arizona, and Indianapolis.

Dallas was 6-1 in 07, then finished 13-3. I'd rather go on a playoff run.

The season gets exponentially more difficult after the bye. We'll be lucky to finish 12-4.

We could, but it's not likely. It isn't like we've dominated to the point where we couldn't have lost some of these games that we've won.

Even in the dominant defensive and offensive game against Seattle, thanks to special teams mistakes, it would have only taken a call here or there going against us (and there were a few that easily could have) to possibly have changed the outcome.

I see that as a realistic goal. Obviously, I'd love to do better than that, but going 6-3 over the final nine would not be bad.

And a London Game on the schedule. You never know how a team is going to play when they have to take that trip. I'm hoping we can have 9 wins by the time we hit the first Philly Game.

I think the Cards game is pretty big. Dallas winning yet another potential tie breaking situation can be big at the end of the season as teams are hoping for the bye week and not having to play wildcard weekend.

At least it's Jacksonville, but it could very will throw off their chi following that week. I just hope the grass is safe to play on. It should be rainy and winter when we play there; and in the past it has been cut short like a soccer pitch. They have super soft grass you can slide on and a lot of players lose their footing when playing football on it. I just want good grass, a victory, and to return back healthy.

No. The defense will have a bad night one night. And in today's parity NFL teams just don't run the table anymore. We are a playoff caliber team though, that's a good feeling.

Don't expect it. One game at a time.

We still have some tough games ahead. Heck, Washington isn't even a guaranteed win.

Cards will be tough. Take nothing for granted. We have a long road ahead. Running the tables is not expected. A serious playoff push is more appropriate.
