Studying the remaining schedule is important if you think this team can make a run.
Dick Vermiel once said that it’s OK to go .500 against teams with winning records, but the key is to not play too many games against winning teams.
We have played some tough opponents so far Raiders (4-1), Giants (2-3), Atlanta (4-1), SD (1-4) and we currently stand 1-3, but after some hard fought losses, and finally breaking through to get a win,this schedule is going to open up over the next 5 weeks as we face only 2 teams with a winning records. If there was a time to turn it around, it started in SD, and it will finish at Carolina.
The great news in this is that Breaux and Rankins will be returning from injuries. Those two should take our defense to a whole new level, and even help us surprise a few opponents.
Looking at the final 12 games of the season, where do you think this team will finish?
I see the schedule playing out like so:
Carolina W
@Chiefs W
Seahawks L
@49ers W
Broncos W
@ Carolina W
Rams L
Lions W
@Bucs W
@Cards L
Bucs W
@Falcons L
9-7, is that enough to get us into the playoffs? It probably wont get us there, but I view this as a rebuilding year, and next year will be our major run.
