ACW Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 -We're still 6-3 going into the bye (would anyone've thought that?). -Our only losses: @ the defending Superbowl Champs; at home vs. a better-than-their-record St. Louis team, and at home vs. a possible Superbowl contender -Our remaining games: the 3 division foes AT HOME; and @ 2-6 Seattle; 1-8 Cincinnati; 2-6 SF; and a technical-but-not-really away game @ Baltimore Barring a fluke, let's say 9-7 AT WORST (should be 10-6 or better). I remember I would settle for 8-8. So calm down people. :wewantd: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyKilmer Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Oh we got our hopes up. I think we go 2-1 against the division rivals. Beat Seattle, SF, and Cinn. lose to the ravens for a 11-5 record and hopefully a home playoff game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drockvb Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 I am calm. I am content with the fact this team isn't "great" yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drewski Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 The team, from Zorn to Campbell, needs to use this as a learning experience. Then we can contin ue on the road to excellence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcnativenerd Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 I'm NEVER happy with a loss on Monday Night (or any national game, for that matter); but, I believe the team WILL use this loss (and the bye) to regroup and get ready for a VERY important Dallas game.

Potato Sack Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Above the obnoxious noise of the Steeler fans last night, sitting at a table at a nearby bar, I told the guy I was with that this is a learning experience. It will be, and I really believe we could end up with an 11-5 record. I'm hopeful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt Rich Fla Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 I'm calm. It just seems to me that we talked about the bye week more than the Steelers. I'd like for some one to pull up a stat. How many games the skins lose the week before the bye week. It feels like we always lose that game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoyaSkins28 Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 the bye is coming at a perfect time because the last four games we've played have been fairly unimpressive so at this point zorn needs to address what happened last night and whats been happening the last month and come out firing against dallas. i solid win in dallas could put this team right back on track. and carlos rogers.... he has to get someone in to teach that guy to catch.

trio Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 i agree...honestly, if we win the games we SHOULD (cincy, SF, seattle) and split the tough games (dallas, philly, baltimore, NYG) then we still end up 11-5.... when I went through the schedule at the beginning of the season I had this penciled in as our 5th or 6th loss (as did a lot of people)... I figured, at best, given our schedule, we would be 3-6 or 4-5 at the bye and would need another late season surge to make the playoffs... the fact that we are 6-3 is gravy....its not a common opponent or conference loss for the other wild card potentials.... really, beyond falling 2 games behind the giants, this game was meaningless...i was mad Zorn left the guys that have had injury issues in as long as he did.... and if you're upset about that (falling 2 games behind the Giants) you really need to re-examine if you had us challenging for the division in August in that stretch of pre-season games...cause if you did you are either a liar, crazy, or an oracle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dictator Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 I am calm. I am content with the fact this team isn't "great" yet. No. This team is not great. I'd wager that right now, there are no true great teams in the NFL. The closest would be the Giants. But even they aren't there yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fansince62 Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 :applause::applause::applause: THAT'S how you look at this. As a learning experience. as cliches go...this is one of the less useful ones. it's also become a worn out excuse. we hear it from every unorig nimrod following every loss. it would appear the pupils have pronounced learning disabilities. last night was embarrassing....nothing more...nothing less.

PortisFan123 Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 To Imaneaglesfan-- I know without a doubt we will make the playoffs. JC learns with every tough team he faces. I think the guy with the pension to fold like a cheap tent in a low gust is your man McNabb...remember the SB??? If that was not the ultimate lawn chair moment then I don't know one in sports. Blah blah blah Imaneaglesfan...you are talking cheap trash with nothing to back it up chump. Lets talk after the Redskins, Philthy Philly game ok?

Gibbs Hog Heaven Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 .. the REAL TEAMS from the NFC EAST represented and f'kd the steelgirls UP. As opposed to the un-real team from the NFC EAST that went in to said "REAL" teams house in Week 4 and TOTALLY kicked their ass? :doh: Welcome to the logic of the Neanderthal man, more commonly known as a Philly fan. See you December 21 for your sweeping. Hail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imaneaglesfan Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 at least in this time of distress, embarrassment, poor play, horrible fan support, and true exposure as a pretender fans can unite in their loathing of division rivals. your not making the playoffs this year. lol with what offensive line? with what defensive line? with what qb throwing touchdowns? your team is highly overrated in your eyes because they are 6-3.. newsflash, it wont be long before i will be tlaking ALOT more ish on these boards.. im counting 6 days before we are tied with u clowns at 6-3.. keep jacking off 2your wins over dallas/philly in the beginning of they year because come january that will all u have 2beat off 2. dec 21st.. yeah jason campbell will be much improved by then.. clowns. healthy brian westbrook does wonders. and when we beat the giants like u couldnt guess who will be the new talk of the town? we started slow and injured.. teams who finish the season are the only real contenders..

G-Prime Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 I'm thoroughly disgusted to come on here after a loss to a really good team, and see people wanting Campbell benched, blaming Los, questioning the Zorn hiring. All this garbage it's ridiculous.. Is there a way to add people to a list that prevents them from posting for 24 hours, that would only be activated after a loss? The entire first page is disgusting. I feel dirty even reading some of this crap and that's what it is crap. A lot of you should feel damn ashamed of yourselves this morning. You don't know how ****ing good you've got it. We're 6-3 going into the bye.. Comparing to recent history, do you know how awesome that is?! Grrrr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NinjaGaiden Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 I'm disappointed that we lost, but it is nothing to be mad about. We are still 6-3 and we are still huge contenders to even take the NFC East. We got a long way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
