    Remember that we started like this before

    And we went on to the playoffs.

    Unfortunatley it was the Memphis Miralce, but we started 0-3 and made it to the playoffs. We also had a number 11 leading us, who then got hurt because he took too many sacks, and a number 7 stepped in to take tot he post season.

    Just pointing out some common variables between this season and that season. And trying to instill a little hope.
    When I die, please don't let my wife sell my camera equipment for what I told her I paid for it.

    7 is already hurt and 11 is durable.

    Thank you, NBF! It's about time that someone stated the obvious.

    11 won't be durable if Troy Vincent takes care of him.

    But 7 could be ready when 11 is no longer durable.

    Rookie QBs don't take teams to playoffs...especially with this OL.




    For all the education and practice each of us undergoes, the achievment of mastery is ultimately the outcome of a personal quest for understanding.

    It's unlikely, highly unlikely, but not outside the realm of possibility. Nice thread,

    If we continue to lose, we won't be mathematically eliminated until the 9th or 10th game

    Specifically, what leads you to think that we have a chance to make the playoffs this year? Don't use other 0-3 teams that have done it before as a reference. I would like to know exactly what you have seen in this current team that makes you think they can turn it around besides just having "faith" that it will.

    Neither am I. I want them to win, but I'm just being realistic, that's all.

    I have stated specific reasons as to why I don't think they will make the playoffs. All I was asking for is your specific reasons as to why you think they will. If you want to just say it's because you "believe" they will, that's fine. That just means the Ostrich Club is still alive and kicking.

    Never said I believe they will...I just happen to know my math and know that there's still a possibility I just can't dumb it down any further
