Thread: Come to think of it......

Frankly, I'd be more concerned about either the Eagles or the Giants than I would any team from the NFC South. We beat NO in Soldier Field provided the defense doesn't take the day off and gets pressure on Brees. Atlanta, even at the Dome, doesn't worry me all that much. We've got a decided advantage over them when it comes to team speed and we'll be playing inside so there's no chance of losing that edge to bad weather like the Pats game. I'm not saying either NO or Atlanta are of no concern. I'm just saying I worry more about the Northern teams and particularly about the Giants pass rush although the changes Martz made in the offense should help to neutralize it somewhat.

Hey, how about that. This is my 6500th post. Jeezus, 6 years on this site and that's the best I could manage? OK, can I get a veteran slacker award from you guys on this? 4th, JD, Kegger, Benji, how 'bout it?

I'm almost inclined to want to play the Giants again out of a dire need for a revenge game due to that ignominious epic fail of a game we had in Week 4. We're not the team we were that week anymore. Our offensive line is respectable now. It's time to get righteous and take names and kick some ass.

Now now, look at what it did against the Jets last week. And it was also "less worrisome/respectable" against the Vikings in Week 15. I think we might have something here.
