Re: Bearish Season Prediction
On Dallas:
We played terrible but take away our INT thrown to Roy Williams on the 1 yard line which resulted in a 99 yard TD drive for Dallas and we have a 3 point ballgame with us playing like crap and the 'Boys manhandling us. Just think if we played average instead of terrible. The same goes for the Vikings game and the Giants game.
if you take away the INT, and give us a TD (eliminating their 99 yard drive, then you should probably take away Rock's long run...same senario. I guess my point is, I'm worried that the way they did play against vikes, dallas and giants WAS average. I don't think you can discount the domination that occurred against the 'boys and g-men.
On the bucs:
I didn't say they lost to "good teams". I said they lost 3 games. If we're arguing then we need to make sure we don't put words in the other's mouth/post.
semantics, but you stated that they beat three crappy teams and then lost to three "real teams". The implication is that, phili won because of an advantageous early schedule and as they played better teams....so while you are correct you never used the word "good" you did use the word "real".
On finding our form:
Weren't the Redskins 2-2? that aside, we frequently have troubles with mcnabb and westbrook. like the giants and dallas, its likely they find their form against the skins...
Just as likely we'll find our form against them.
My point was EVEN with Bledsoe (now benched) and the TO injury, WE still got manhandled. only close due to Rock's runback. what has changed, beside's the cowboy's new QB who wasn't flustered by Carolina's much better D?

The bucs are ok. we have a shot...they did just beat philly. (who by the way you just claimed lost to 3 "Good teams".

fair enough. lets hope...
on scoring:
St Louis is averaging 23 pts/game. We're averaging 20 pts/game
closer than i thought (as are the stats), i would say, that 3 pts is not insignificant in the NFL...add three and change, and we beat minn and tenn.
