LPaulT, I'm suffereing from depression man...the Ravens loss really set me back. The 5-1 start got me way too excited and now I'm having to adjust to reality. I admit, I need help man. I'm reaching out to you guys. The truth is LPaulT, I don't know where we're ranked. I'm just worried about the injuries and frustrated by our weaknesses. Who cares where we're ranked, let's just win the darn game on Sunday!!

(For the record, I couldn't name 17 teams but I was getting close...honestly, I could rank us no lower than 14 and even that was pushing it. I'm ashamed....)

Heh, I understand. Sitting there, in the Dome, watching the game against the Ravens felt like the 55-21 loss to the Colts a few years ago. However, once I got home, and thought about it a bit more, I felt better because I know that the team is going to bounce back against the Bucs on Sunday. You should be worried about the injuries and the weaknesses - anyone who is honest can admit that those things are problematic.
Let's just see how it shakes out. Remember, we have a very solid QB under center, a good backfield - albeit slightly injured, at least a couple of very reliable receivers, and an O-line that is, at the least, keeping our QB upright for the most part. I think the defense will get it together, even though games against Pitt & Cincy bother me because of our secondary.

Your worries and frustration are warranted. I just happen to believe that we are still better than most teams in the NFC. :9:
