any doubt that kerry rhodes is going to hawaii this season? he has amazing athletisicm and speed of the edge.. -cedric houston is a faster version of kevin barlow -d-rob played a fairly solid game and played decent against the run although thomas jones put up good numbers -the D is getting better week by week and should dominate next week against the texans. -the linebackers seem to be adjusting alot better to the 3-4 scheme as hobson, thomas and barton played pretty well today making alot of tackles 1-4 yards from the line of scrimmage.... vilma was fairly invisible again although im sure hell get his usual 8 tackles in the stat line -urlacher is a hell of a player and we did move the ball well against the bears d in the first half but the gameplan coming out of the locker room was really conservative much like the entire jaguars game. -The biggest positive of all???? texans, dolphins, packers, bills, texans, vikings, and raiders left on the schedule... None are by far guaranteed W's but with a revamped defensive style and a good enough but not great we should be in every ball game and compete till the last week of the season... -for all u guys who are thinking playoffs, the best case scenario is this teams runs the table, catches fire and confidence and surprises someone in the first round due to the buildup of 6 straight w's or a 5-1 stretch.... anything from this point on is house money considering the expectations of this team... i mean who would of told me we'd be 0-0 at the half with the
Nice post. I am more optimistic after todays game because of the effort we played with on both sides of the ball and the improved defensive play. The team played very hard today. It bodes well for the future. Three of those teams on our schedule Buffalo, Miami and Oakland are playing very well right now. But by the time we play them hopefully they we will back to their old ways. Looking at the schedule it seems virtually impossible for this team not to win 8+ games.
I don't know if we can beat the Dolphins and Bills. We probably will have a lot of trouble scoring on the Raiders D, but I don't think they can score either. 9-7, just barely miss the playoffs or hope for help to back in. Where have I seen this before...maybe I blamed the wrong person. Looks like Hermy has his team going to the playoffs.
We play Miami and Buffalo late in the season. More than enough time for them to become bad again. Oakland the last game of the season hopefully by then Oakland has given up on the season. I don't see KC making the playoffs with their injuries and schedule 8 wins might be asking a lot. I see our playoff future looking much brighter than thiers. Give us wins against Hou, GN and Minn and we should be a lot better team with momentum and energy going into the last 3 games.
