Thing is we didn't really upgrade at all this season with the exception of LB and S. I still think we have too many ifs to be answered to get overly excited this season. I guess I am like Randy Quaid in Major League. Cheer the hell for them when they lose and can't believe it when they win and expect them to botch it in the end. Bottom line is these guys need to start winning for get me on the bandwagon this season.Being a homer can be mighty disappointing, especially when the Cowboys make it to the playoffs.

Yeah, but we were ravaged by injury on the defensive side of the ball, and Brunell started 9 games and was average at best. Plus Portis went down, and yet we still had the 4th most rushing yards in the league. With consistency at the QB position, a healthy Clinton, and a healthy and beefed up D, I think we have a great chance to be a playoff caliber team. Frankly I think we'll finish 2nd behind Philly and contend for a wild card spot. Wade Phillips has never been a good head coach in this league, and I don't see him making the playoffs in his 1st year in big D. Coughlin is a lame duck, and the Giants are going to be one of the worst teams in the NFC. Eli stinks, they have a bad O-line, a BAD secondary, they lost Tiki and now have no real threat in the running game....

Who pissed in your Wheaties by the way??
