Gotta go 8-3 from here

[Bowdown27]

I think the longer rest for rams and packers seemed to be an advantage in the long run. We were up in both games but fizzled our in the second half. Idk if we can go 8-3 but being down 2 games in the division already is a big stepping stone. We can do it but how our defense is without Sean Lee I’m not sure

That dark cloud is darkening.

When you look at the NFC, it's likely going to take 10-6 to make the playoffs.

The Cowboys aren't going to sweep the Eagles or Commanders. They're not going to beat Atlanta or Kansas City. The Seahawks are daunting, too, because Dak struggles mightily against good defenses.

Right now, the season smells like 8-8 at best, but 7-9 or 6-10 most likely.

Last year's easy schedule gave us false hope and impressions.

Oh God if we only had Romo cuz he never struggled against anybody
Lee has to stay healthy
Rod has to adjust his schemes
The rookie DB's of got to be coached up and learn quick and put in a position to perform
Linehan has to pull his head out of his butt and run when he should run
If that happens we'll be fine I'm not holding my breath though
And if we do fold I'll take Zimmer down here as a DC anytime and I love Gruden's tenacity
Let the cards fall where they may

True, but the Steelers haven't been the Steelers for some time now. And Roethlisberger was coming off a nasty ankle injury that day.

Oh, and Ron Leary.

The made the playoffs the past 3yrs & were one game away from the SB last season. Romo has 5 picks in a game way back when, but he won the game lol.

Players like Lee & Watt are tough and play hard, very hard. This is why they get hurt often. Hard for that caliber of a player to "stay healthy" for an entire season.

I don't disagree. Bit if he doesn't stay healthy. We're done.
