How does the rest of schedule shake out?

I say if we go backwards to 4 (or below) wins kubiak needs a real examining and probably gets fired. 5-7 wins Kubiak keeps it but gets the hot seat next year. The true sign (in my mind anyway) that this team has progressed is if they do "turn it around" and come through so much adversity to 8+ wins. Looking at the schedule though....every game could go either way.

Hey guys, come on, let's get off the Doom & Gloom. How about we start by winning the first one. After that they will all look easier, IMO.

The Texans will beat the Lions. I'm pretty sure of that.

Just to say something positive I'll note (as others have done) that Amobi played great last week. It was the first time I've ever seen him find that gear. If he keeps it up all they need is half a DL, 2/3s of their LBs and the entire secondary. Hell, I haven't seen Molden play and he might be pretty good.

yes, from 0-4 and loosing two close ones its tough, but all 12 are winnable, and then maybe 8-8 would be more realistic. agree team is better than last year, better than its record this year, and headed in right direction with players and coaches.

Hey Chuck, you didn't reply, but your answer was plain enough. Can you say I gotcha?!

I don't know, I think Kubiak's situation is kind of special. Because of his system, we have built an o-line that is relatively small and light, that would certainly have to be changed if we were to switch to any other offensive system. Given that, I think we should be positively certain that Kubiak is not the guy before we dump him for someone else. If we have a 4 win season, but a bunch of losses like the past 2, I would have no problem keeping him on as the season was more bad luck than bad play/coaching.

Of course, that's all an exercise in futility as we will end up with 9 wins this season

really though, I just don't want losing to become acceptable.....if it hasn't already.
