    Ok, we lost in painful fashion(The Jets? naaah, that's never happened). But consider the effort this team put forth today, the way we moved the ball, the creativity on offense. Think about the confidence we played with.

    Consider the piss poor defense as well....but also remember we were playing against the best offense in football.

    Assume that Houston and Coles are going to be OK.

    Is this a playoff calibre team? We did outplay them for a good portion of the game.

    If everyone is healthy, this is without a doubt a playoff team. Chad is a man possessed, and if the defense can play just 10% better we'll win more games than not.

    were not a playoff team till we can stop the run. IT was embarassing out there today. Jacksonville might not even attempt a pass next week

    Maybe. But it might be because the rest of the division is so bad.

    Possibly, but because of a weak schedule and divison. Not a legit contender.

    We need to consistently run the ball and stop the run better to be a legit contender.

    We can get to the playoffs b/c of our division, but without a run defense and a pass rush we are one and done.

    As things stand now? No. But they can be by the end of the season if they keep growing like they have been.

    I think we can go 10-6, but only because we play a week schedule. However I'll take 10-6 with a strong or weak schedule as long as we get into the playoffs

    Well, at least we know it's a playoff calibre offense.

    you look at the D, we do have talent, we have the personel to be better. This D is not that much worse talent wise from our D in 2004

    oh well, go bengals
