The gauntlet comes early this year

[jwitten82]

Starting week 3
Ravens: the exact type of teams we've struggled with in the past. Well coached, good defense, and mobile qb

Giants : should be an easy win

Steelers: Always a tough team, especially at home. Should win, but should be close

Lions: Tough run game, and tough team period

49ers: our kryptonite the last few years

Overshown might be the partial antidote to the (Ravens)mobile Qb,s
Heat seeking projectile.

He's fast, hopefully he can stay healthy

 

[Jipper]

I see 2-3 in those games…would like to say 3-2 but until they prove otherwise have to be realistic

 

[Staubacher]

He might be what we wanted Jaylon Smith to be without the dropfoot and self promotion.

 

[Tabascocat]

Wins-Detroit and Balt(both at home) and NY sucks
Pitt should be a win but who knows

Loss-SF

I can see 5-1 through that but realistically, 4-2

 

[Blackspider214]

Don't overlook the Saints next week. It starts there for me. They have guys on offense who can make plays and a QB who isn't terrible. They aren't as good as Ravens, Niners or Lions but definitely better than a Giants or Washington.

 

[Mac_MaloneV1]

I don't buy the Ravens at all.

 

[Aven8]

The third WR spot is still up for grabs IMO. Someone in that group needs to take it and run

 

[jazzcat22]

I was not impressed with the Ravens against KC. But KC was not all that great either.

Our offense will need to get in sync some more. But they still looked pretty good against what was the #1 defense from a year ago.

It will be a Zeke / Henry showdown.

I think you could say this about Cooks' spot too, even though it's not exactly up for grabs.

The TD was nice but was schemed more than anything - but he didn't seem to be getting any separation. That's a good group of corners, but it was true for a lot of last year too.

IMO, the Browns are better than they looked on Sunday. That win is going to look better in hindsight. As others noted, New Orleans is a legit team too.

Dallas has a really tough start to the season. If they end up 4-3, I think its a huge success. After game 7, it lightens up a lot.

if you scared, go to church.

Line them up one by one and we will see what we can do. You can only play the teams put in front of you by the schedule makers. We can gauge how good our team is based on this gauntlet I'm assuming. The Gnats won't be an easy win, a division foe often is a dogfight. I think 3-2 would be ok in that span. The Ravens, The Giants, The Steelers are winnable. The Lions and the 49'ers will be the ones we will probably lose. I think we have speed at lber to spy or tackle the Ravens qb. The Giants will fight us hard but we will win and the Steelers in Pittsburgh can be a low scoring affair but we should squeak out a win by a long fg by Aubrey.

I think NO is getting too much credit.

The Panthers might be the worst team we've ever seen.

Good teams win the tough games.

Saints new oc is from the Shanahan tree and was zimmers OC in Minnesota. Let's see if we get the usual beat down from that tree towards our Def coordinator.

Yup
Could be like the Ariz Cards game last year
Ended up being a trap game

 

[cowboys5xsbs]

None of those teams scare me except the niners but I am more optimistic this time because Dak is going against the Zimmer defense in practice and that should pay off against the niners defense

 

[RodeoJake]

If the Cowboys team that showed up yesterday, shows up for these upcoming games, they win them all.
