Tap the brakes

[Pokes12]

please note that our Boys have 4 wins. Not one was against a team with a winning record. We are beating poor teams. We have lost all the games we have played to teams with a winning record.
Let’s see what happens on Sunday. If we lose that our chances of being the division champs will have gone out the window.

One game at a time.

Thanks for the heads up. Perhaps I should postpone my SB travel plans.

I think everyone besides a few homers clearly understand this.

It's funny how this is said but I've seen fans on this forum give Washington a pass for basically doing the samething!

We can only afford one loss and it can’t be to skins
Even at that we need some help
Beating the eagles was great but what really matters is what we do the rest of the season
I don’t think most fans think we can pull it off and I’m one of them
But we have the talent to do it
Not convinced we have the staff to do it

We've been here before with better teams. One game at a time.

This season is like a traffic jam. You either put it in automatic and take it as it goes or put it in manual and suffer the consequences!

You have a very good grasp of the obvious.

 

[Kage]

That's not the best way to look at it.

If you switch our win and losses, how many teams would now having winning/losing records?

Part of the reason they are above or below 500 is due to our win or loss against them.

I missed the thread asking for RSVPs for the Super Bowl parade.

I haven't seen any overconfidence but saying "we only beat teams with a losing record" iis.... wait for it... partially because we beat those teams. We just beat the defending Super Bowl Champs on the road, that actually does mean something. And one of our loses was in OT with another that would have gone to OT with another 3 inches on a FG. The reality is we have had 2 bad games out of 9 and that is true for most teams in the NFL.

 

[Doomsday101]

Only game I'm interested in is the Falcons game. Win this game and move on from there. This teams entire focus needs to be on execution if they do that there is no reason they can't win.

Every team we have played has been a game within 500 when we played them I think....Everyone is in the same boat as us except NO, Rams and KC especially in the NFC

Most teams with winning records come against teams with losing records.
It is a cop out reason to just dog a team. Or trying to downplay one team vs. another.

Rams have 6 wins against teams with losing records, lost to a winning team, and 2 wins over teams with a winning record, which one may not be as good as their record shows.
So are the a bad team winning against teams like Raiders, Cards, Seahawks twice, Broncos, 49ers. What a layup schedule that is. And that is a little sarcastic too on that, but just thought I would mention the teams.

 

[jwooten15]

I don't think anybody is overly optimistic about this year's team.

We're all keeping our expectations in first gear; no real need to pump any breaks on this train.

Exactly, I said this for years. But yet some still want to use that old useless stat.

I've had the E Brake on starting with the loss to the skins

I'd agree that we have some talent but I have some degree of doubt if it's enough to compete very well past a division title. The Eastern Division isn't anything to get overly excited about at this time. Having the staff to compete past a division title seems pretty doubtful right now, although I'm willing to wait to see what else develops. Strange things can happen when a team finds success and the Atlanta contest should reveal considerably more. That's the one game that holds the most interest for now. If we win, it'd be like a fresh start. What occurs, both during and after that, surely remains to be seen.

I think most know this. However, fans get up after wins, down after losses. So let them enjoy what they believe in.
I am enjoying the win, and look at the possibility the team can turn it around.
But I am not having any delusions of a SB either. Mostly a wait and see if they can win back to back games, then see if they can beat Washington.
If we lose, it tells me just what many think, a poor coached team, and poor ran organization.
Well if they win, that still can be said.

And I think most fans are in this same mind frame.
