Yep, the D has set the tone the first half of the year, and with the exception of one really bad quarter against the Saints have been pretty damn impressive, bordering on outstanding.
If we can keep from losing anymore guys, especially on D, I think we should have enough mojo to reach the playoffs, and if the O can get back to full force and start clicking, we might actually make a game of it when we get there.
The schedule ahead is less than imposing.
W - Cleveland sucks
W - Tampa Bay might be more erratic than we are.
W - We know who the Hags are, tough D ridiculously bad O. We will have AJ back, so I don't see this game being as competitive as yesterdays.
L - Atlanta is going to be tough, especially since they have 2 #1 WR's. Hopefully we can get a good rush on Ryans. Could be a flex spot for a little SNF for this one, especially if we get on a 5 game streak.
W - I see Cincy fading shortly. Rookie QB's seldom hold up the whole season in year 1. Thier D is pretty impressive though.
W - Newton might be an exception to the above. He is downright impressive. This one could be close, but I'm glad its at home.
W - I look for TN to implode prior to Week 17, and we could see Locker by the time this rolls around.
We might have another stinker in there somewhere, definitely a possibility, but I am so impressed with the D these days, it should set up for something fun in January. 10 wins is realistic, 11 should have a good shot, and 12 is not out of the question.
Kool-Aid gents - DRINK IT UP!
