The last 8 games look tougher to me than the first 8. We have no bye, and the injuries are starting to mount. Our run game "issues" seem to be a real thing, rather than an anomaly.

However, our defense is playing better every week, and we soon get back last year's NFL leading WR. Cam should also return, and I can only imagine that the oline gets better as they figure out life without Mack.

So with all of that being said, and with the fear of the Debbie Downer clip being attached to me ...................................

8-8

The big hurdle will be Thursday night for this team. If we beat the bungholes we can go 10 and 6

5-11.

5-11 is the ultimate debby downer pick lol.

I don't care about predictions, I just want to see what we do against Cincy on the road, after a short week.

Really you think we will lose out the season? So with that attitude you never went for the super hot chick at college or the bar that everyone was too much of a pussy to go for? Just went for for the fattie hanging out with the hot chick? Pathetic.

Football and pulling girls? Not a great metaphor.

... It's a metaphor of false confidence. There's no issue with pointing out the flaws in this team and having reasonable expectations. I actually appreciate that over saying shit like "zomg 11-5".

Then you have never have gotten anything by being over confident?

Again, what your preaching isn't overconfident. It's false confidence. Sometimes they're the same things. More specifically, you're rambling about a team neither of is are apart of. From a fans perspective, I'm allowed to not have confidence. If I'm on the team, I'm going to have confidence in myself and my teammates because I have to. I have no other choice. But again, I'm not playing.

To return to my original point of false

Confidence, if you're a raiders fan are you going to thump your chest going up against the Hawks? No.

LBC mike

So you only thump your chest when the team us winning?

I won't brag and be "over confident" if my team wasn't. Would you? Because if so, there's a particular school and coach in the state of M*ch*gan you should probably follow for college football.

7-9

They are still learning to play as a team and have confidence. Im still troubled by some inability to convert on third down. We were like what 4-15 today. We are doing play action roll outs too much, because they cant give hoyer the protection he needs. Our guys need to believe in themselves more.

When there is 2 minutes left, and your worried our team will still fuck it up. Imagine what they are feeling on the field. When you dont feel that anymore, you know we are a proven team.

Who is starting at Center?

Agree with the 9-7, although I think an argument can be made for anything from 7-9 to 10-6. If they get to 6-4 without Gordon, I think 10-6 is a very real possibility.

One game at a time... This Thursday is a HUGE game to really see where this team is...

All 8 are winnable, but I see...

Win 2 out of 3 at home, and 2 out of 5 on the road, and we got ourselves a 9-7 season... that's my best guess right now
