    All things considered, would you be satisfied if we finish the 1st half of the season 4-4?

    I don't know if 10-6 gets us into the playoffs but I think that we have a good chance of going 6-2 in the 2nd half of the season.

    I'd have to say yes. I take that deal, if its wins over the Pats and Jets. 4-0 in AFC East and a Jets sweep, but we lose to an NFC team. I take that deal. then again, next sunday, i'll be cheering my butt off, and praying for the win.

    I would be ecstatic with 4-4. Winning 2 of the next 3 would be huge.

    We still would get to play Buffalo again, Tampa Bay, and Tennessee.

    Jags and Panthers aren't so great either.

    With games against the Bucs, panthers, bills, jags, titans, and Steelers (in what will probably be a backups game for them in week 17), yes.

    If we can steal a game or two from some of our better oppenents, then we're in for a decent season. (of course, thats assuming we dont lose any gimmies either)

    4-4 would be great because that would mean we won 2 of our 3 games. Our schedule is looking pretty easy and 4-4 would be a great place to start from.

    well we play:

    TB
    Panthers
    Bills
    Pats
    Jags
    Titans
    Texans
    Steelers

    in the 2nd half

    I think TB, Bills, Jags, Panthers and Titans are wins

    I think we lose to the Texans

    I think we split Pats/Steelers

    I don't think the Steelers are going to have clinched by then. I think they are going to be in a dog fight to the end. I would even go as far as to say that that game might determine who gets the final playoff spot.

    its possible, maybe even probable, but the cardiac cats cant keep that kind of luck going. There competition is the ravens, who are also a different team every week. We'll see. I still dont see the steelers needing that win.

    Steelers might be battling us for a wild card. But hopefully we make a big run and repeat as division champs.

    The Jets took a little pressure off of us with that loss to Buffalo. A loss to the Saints is no problem as long as we follow with a win at NY. We'd sit at 4-4 with a chance the following week to cut NE's lead as we head into the second half of the season.

    At 4-4 we're still in it

    At 5-3 we're putting the league on notice

    Bold prediction time . . .

    We lose one more regular season game, and it will be to the Patriots in Foxboro. This season is just setting up like the last where the team had to learn how to win and once they did/do they are virtually unstoppable. So there you have it, we go 12-4.

    Yes, I know it sounds crazy, even to me, but I believe that we are 11-5 or 12-4 in the end. I believe that with all my heart.

    We can go 10-6 and a possible playoff spot. All depends on how we play against the Patriots.

    ... And every other team. Don't forget the 3 wins we gave away this year already.

    Chad Henne was great on Monday night. However, I think it's a mistake to think he'll be doing that all season. He hasn't even gone on the road yet, which we will do against two divisional opp. after the saints game. The saints are no joke. They thrashed a defense 10x better than Miami's. Hopefully a home game, during the day, with all that heat and humidity will give us an advantage. We'll need everyone we can get. I think it's a mistake to look at the schedule and cherry pick wins. There's a number of unforeseen variables.

    Yes I'd be happy. The remainder of our schedule leads me to believe that the best realistic result would be 9-7. With that said, I'd be happy with anything above .500 with as tough as our schedule is this season.

    I would be fine with it. Our 2nd half scedule does not hurt as bad. The loss to the Colts still hurts tho

    you better be happy, because - as much as i'd like to win these next 3 ... we'll likely lose 1 ... which makes us 4-4 ...

    starting 0-3 ... you should be estatic to be 4-4 at the mid way point !

    agreed, that 6-2 is entirely possible given our opponents the 2d half of the season ...

    10-6 could very well win our division, especially if we can take care of business against the PATS ...

    Sorry but I don't think so; even if we sweep the Pats (I think we split) if they win everyother game left they end up 12-4.

    I not worried though as I've said all along we will go 12-4 this year and I really believe its possible.:wink2:

    Sign me up for that scenario!! :knucks:

    After starting 0-3, that would be great to still control our own destiny in Week 17!

    for a shot at anything, the games against the JESTS and PATS are musts .... the NO game is not ... again that puts us 4-4, and 1 game behind the PATS who have a harder 2nd half than we do ...

    you can forget about the JESTS from this point forward ... so it's just between the PATS and PHINS for the DIV ... 11-5 is preferred, but 10-6 can get it done ...

    you just never know, but i certainly don't see the PATS going 12-4 ... forgetting this week, they haven't looked that great this year ... even though they beat ATL and BAL. the worst we will do is split with them, and have a better DIV record ...

    by DEC 6 ... we will know what our future holds ... as the PATS have MIA, IND, JESTS, NO, MIA coming up ...

    I agree. I remember watching Ben get knocked out of a meaningless game in week 17 last season. Im sure they will all play.

    I like your confidence there. Since we are on the subject, lets take it a bit further: 13-3. Yeah let's beat the Saints and the win the rest of them. Anything is possible. I'm rootin' for it!!

    After 0-3, I'm fine with 4-4. Ideally the loss would be vs. the Saints and the wins would be vs. the Jets and Pats. That would have us in a pretty nice position still in the division with a 4-0 record.

    I think after this next three game stretch we'll have a much better idea of how this season is going to play out. If we lose two out of three I think we'll know we're not quite there yet. If we can take two then I really think the sky is the limit.
