‪Look at the schedule kids... we’re staring 3-6 squarely in the face.

Oh God, can't express how much I hate Aaron Rodgers and the Packers. **** those guys.

The biggest issue this year is our defense, 2nd worst in the League. Its painful to watch every game. Even with the 6th best offense, the defense hurts the game so bad that we can't win. Another issue, imo, is the overuse of Ezekiel. Even when he can't go through the DL, we still keep running rushing plays with him and it's completly dumb, we lose downs and put a heavy preassure on Prescott for a 3rd down.

With where I sense this season is heading... I’m almost willing to root for the 5th Circuit Court ruling in favor of the league and let Zeke sit 6 games ASAP. Can’t overuse him if he’s at home and I don’t have a good feeling about the upcoming schedule except for the Niner game.

If we go really bad this year, hope we can get some nice defensive rookie on the draft. A reliable DE and another CB are much needed.

Great minds... thinking alike.

If we can manage to draft Arden Key or Iman Marshall, it will already be a good upgrade, considering the fact that Charlton is development, probably with good defensive draft guys and some upgrades on offense, we can be on SB in 2019. TBH, i don't see us that great on 2018, we will be good, but with some flaws to improve, but 2019 is our year.

They also need a playmaking LB.

Agreed, Sean is great, but we need more, can't rely only on him.

I'm missing Barry Church.

The next 4 don’t scare me as much as they apparently scare you. San Fran should be a win. Skins will be tough but those games can go either way. KC will likely be a loss. And i think they could dominate the clock against Atlanta. Again another toss up game though.

I know they don’t like spending money in free agency now but I think they really need to go into free agency looking for a pass rusher. That in addition to drafting more defensive help in the front 7.

Romeiro Celtic · Post #95 » by **Romeiro Celtic** » Mon Oct 9, 2017 3:21 am

Our schedule is really scary...
Week 6 - W - 49ers - away
Week 7 - L - Redskins - away
Week 8 - L - Chiefs - at home
Week 9 - L - Falcons - away
Week 10 - L - Eagles - at home
Week 11 - W - Chargers - at home
Week 12 - W - Redskinks - at home
Week 13 - W - Giants - away
Week 14 - L - Raiders - away
Week 15 - W - Seahawks - at home
Week 16 - L - Eagles - away

This is my prediction for the remaining weeks.We'll probably go for 7 - 9. Maybe worse, considering how bad our defense is, some of those games could be even worse.

Why isn't Taco playing, by the way? He should be on the field imo.

He is “playing”. That’s the sad part.

LOL, haven't seen him. Guess I'm not looking correctly.

Mr B · Post #99 » by **Mr B** » Mon Oct 9, 2017 4:42 am

He hasn’t registered even 1 tackle in back to back games.

Atlanta will shred our defense. This coaching staff refuses to "dominate" anyone and the Offensive Line simply isn't that good right now (although... I thought Cooper was an improvement over Green and should stay right where he is).

We all agree about the Redskins matchup being the key game in this puzzle. That might be as close to a "must win" game as there is in the NFL. Lose that prior to the Chiefs coming to town and then going to Atlanta...

3-6
