5 Or 6 Plays

Just got done watching the game again....

As much as I dislike the FO/coaching staff, we have some good young players. Raw, but talented. Little, Titus brown, English, paxson, pinky, Norwood, obi.....they'll be goood starters and rotational guys. If we stay the course, I'm hopeful. Holes will be filled, game plans will be expanded. The last 3 games are a stark contrast to the first 8.

Colt will be sufficient for this team to succeed. Build the O next draft, skip FA one more year and we'll be a perennial playoff team starting in 2013. Its not as bad as it seems.

Lets hope Baltimore makes all 6 bad plays this weekend

Ghoolie he realizes that, don't ignore the part where he said they can be anywhere from 2-9 to 7-4.

I think the best teams don't have to rely on those funky plays, although I think last year if DeSean Jackson didn't have that amazing return vs the Giants(when the punter was supposed to kick it out of bounds), the Packers wouldn't have even gotten in the playoffs? and they ended up being the champs.

Most of the 'best' teams in the NFL have one thing in common... The same QB and the same Coach for more than 3 years. Once we get to that point and the win/loss record has gone above .500 it will be a sign that we are on the verge.

Until that point, we are constantly going to be in a status of 'building', not 'rebuilding'. The only thing we have rebuilt is mediocrity.

There are a few potential free agents coming after this season and I am hoping Desean Jackson is one of them. He was drafted by Heckert and lets face it, we need that talent at WR, even if it is between moments of Retarded antics. At least he can catch.

I agree. Keep this crap kid Colt in there and build some players around him.

Colt was on target against the Bengals. Showed some real poise, FINALLY!

WRs dropped it like it was hot.

Colts, Rams, Dolphins, Titans... Takes quite a bit away from even our 6 tough Division Games.

Considering they'll have played (in all likelihood) playoff teams in the Bengals, Ravens, Steelers (all twice), 49ers, Texans & Raiders, that's 9 games out of 16 against top-shelf competition. Of the remaining 7, they've beat who they should've save for the Rams, which would've been a win except for, dare I say it, 1 play (the botched field goal). I don't get where some are saying it's an easy schedule.

I do like the point about the 5 or 6 plays not even having to happen to your own team - the example being the Jackson punt return vs. the Giants last year, or the non-catch by Kellen Winslow @ the end of the Cardinals game in 2007 which would've put the Browns in the playoffs. Very astute...

My pick for the 2011 version of the 2010 Chiefs (worst to first to worst)is the 49ers - a few key injuries or substandard play by no more than 3 or 4 guys turns the team from 12 wins to 6.
