Hope he has a bright future with us

I have a bad feeling about his durability, but right now he really is a beast.

No in the preseason this was an expected L. Thing is that with winning teams you capitalize on the chances you get. We have to also realize although we do have a decent core of players, we are still thin depthwise. We need a C, a G, another S, and a CB that can make INTs and not get hands of stone when the ball hits him in the hands. I also think we should invest in a second round WR in the next two drafts. Don't bother going for the high flying studs since we are not going to draft that high. I say go for a guy like that Sanzenbacher from Ohio St or that Stonum guy from Michigan. Guys that are first rounders, but just won't go in the first round. These guys have good hands and produce. I like AA, and would love to see Austin get a try this season, but we need another WR to really help out. Plus at th is point, we need to think of the post Santana era.

I keep forgetting we don't have a second round pick next draft!!!!!! That sucks. Either of the guys mentioned above would have been nice WR additions. We only have good luck with drafting first round linemen or defensive players. Go for the best G we can get!!

I agree it's going to be a split with two road games. But I think the Chicago game will be a fairly easy W. I don't see it coming down to the last drive.

Dude I was just stating a fact. We could of had more, we could of had less. But once again you had to channel Offiss. I don't need to learn anything.

They are NFC games and we need to win those as they are more important than the AFC games.

I aways thought the Bears and Lions games are huge. The Bears game in particular is a big game as they are in the mix for the playoffs.

I realize they're important, but now that were a game back in the division, they're must wins. If we're 4-2 right now, I think we could "afford" to lose one.... but I get your point as well.

Yes they will and they are PFT and those other guys that stay hating on real up and comer. We are a real UP AND COMING TEAM!!!

Definitely agree with that, as there was multiple runs today that went for losses when he tried to bounce it outside, but you and I know that if he had gone inside and picked up 2-4 tough yards we'd have fans in here bitching and saying why didn't he try and bounce it outside? I definitely agree though about him just going inside, on that one run where we lost 5 yards in the red zone I thought he could've picked up between 2-4 had he taken it right up that hole off the right side.

Now you see why I said "perhaps" earlier. In the game day thread, just wait a few minutes and another stupid post will come rolling by

No the next 2 are must wins. We really need a game where we put it all together and put a team down. I'm looking at you Chi. Hopefully we start playing above our opponents rather than to them. A nice sound convincing win is in order for the long term but I'll take one any way we can get it. Hopefully we post.

Indy already crushed NYG, I can't see Dallas beating them, and Philly might, but I doubt it, so for me, this game is a wash. If we had won it, yeah, excellent, but this one seems like a true moral victory in a league where they don't normally mean anything.

[skinsfan69]

Do you people honestly think this is a playoff team? I don't.

[EARTHQUAKE2689]

I'm not upset at all over this loss. We faught tooth and nail with the SB runner-up from a year ago. I see us beating Chicago, Detroit, and Philly coming of the bye.

We just don't have much of a passing game. We did much better in pass protection than last week, but the pocket was just never clean all night. McNabb made a bunch of errors with his arm. We ran the ball 22 times. In hindsight, it just wasn't frequent enough.

Yeah, Jacksonville ran it 31 times against them and the Texans ran THIRTY-NINE designed runs against them.

Oh I see, but I'll give it another 30 seconds.

Other then that I though he played very well. Torain runs with authority.
