im far from writting them off but im also far from thinking we're good enough to make a deep playoff run let alone get there...We beat ONE good team(chicago) and even that win wasnt too convincing...We lost tow two good teams and beat up on one lousy team...Now call me crazy but if we want to think playoffs,shouldnt we win those games against teams like minny and cincy? I mean it is way too early to write us off,but if we're losing close games to good teams then we're in major trouble in the second half of the season...I mean we can enter our strong part of the schedule 7-4 or 8-3,but what good would that be if we lose against those good teams? im confused right now in what position this team is in...I want to believe we have a good playoff bound team ( i know we have that talent to be one) but for some reason we just cant execute it...Dunno if its because of coaching or because of players but one thing for sure is that each week that passes by,i can call just about every play that MM throws out there and that isnt a good thing...If we can get a creative Offenisve coordinator to call ALL the plays and provide Rodgers with protection,then this team would be playoff bound year in and year out...until then,we'll struggle with the same results and lose those same close games that will effect us later in the year...I really do want to believe we are better then our record indicates or what many fans believe,but its hard when we're not improving anything and we're stuck trying to make our problems work out (IE Grant not being the elite runner we hoped he'd be,O-line men,kickers,ect)

bboy.....it's a long way to the end of the season. 2 years ago the NY Giants started out poorly. In fact we whipped them in the beginning of the season. Yet they beat us in the NFC title game and went to and won the SB.
I'm not writting off the season yet.

season is still long and we can have our shots...but first of all we have to beat lions and think one game per time

---

I wonder how many SB champs started off 2-2 or worse. Wild guess - 10.

---

6

07 Giants (2-2)
03 Patriots (2-2)
01 Patriots (1-3)
93 Cowboys (2-2)
81 Niners (2-2)
80 Raiders (2-2)

And the 74 Steelers started off (2-1-1)

nice work

I've said before the emotional swings on this board are hilarious. I maintain a rather steady cautious optimism -- no blowouts, no extended winning streaks -- tempered with a bit of cynicism about the adaptability of our coaches. I think we'll beat the Lions, but I doubt it's going to be the rout certain members are predicting.

I too am not writing off the season...But to be fair,Giants pass rush that year was unstopable...Our D cant even get off the field on 3rd downs and have an average pass rush..Maybe they step up later in the year,who knows...But that doesnt worry me...what worries me is the O-line...I dont see how a group of guys who allowed 20 sacks in 4 games can turn it around to be good enough to make a SB run....They might have a nice stretch of games to give us hope due to a weak schedule but i just dont see how they can turn from sucking so bad to elite players....

Heck, I just thought it was an interesting read.
