We started the season with 4 games in 18 days, 3 of them night games, which I think everyone can agree are tougher to recuperate from anyway. Then, in the words of Jamison Hensley at ESPN, we have this to look forward to: "They play two of their next three games on the road, which includes a showdown at undefeated Houston, before their bye. Baltimore has a second-half stretch in which it faces the Steelers twice in three weeks with a cross-country trip in between. Then, there's back-to-back games against the Manning brothers in December."

It's actually crazy how they scheduled us this year. Definitely set us up to fail. Well, we got through one of our tough stretches 3-1, hopwfully we can keep up that kind of success throughout, but it doesn't really get any easier from here!

Yeah the giants/broncos back to back is whatever im not concerned with that, but that steelers-fly to san diego-steelers stretch kinda ticks me off. I also am annoyed that for the second straight year, the primtime steelers game is in pittsburgh instead of bmore

[izvoodoo]

Yeah... Those two stretches are brutal. I would love to sweep Pitt though...

8-4 the rest of the way. Losses to Steelers, Houston, Giants and one fluke game. I just hope the 4th loss isn't versus the Cowboys. I only hate the Steelers more. Considering the current state of our pass D, Miles Austin and Dez Bryant worry me.

I find it funny everyone thinks that we lose to the Giants. Why do people feel of all the teams they are a guaranteed L?

I'll play...They have talented receivers and a top 10 Qb. That doesn't bode well for our "current" pass D right now. They also have a heck of a pass rush. For the record, I think the Giants are better than the Steelers and as you can tell by my post above, I see us dropping one to the Steelers.

Explosive offense for the other team + Dean Pees' defense = high chances for a loss. Not only against the Giants.

Depends on their health. Their front 4 will eat our O-line for breakfast. As well as Osemele and Harewood have played, and on like zero rest for a 4 game stretch no less, they are in no way prepared for JPP, Tuck, Umenyiora, Kiwanuka etc.

Should have Suggs back by the time we play denver and new york. Hopefully even for the second pitt game

[jaege]

Suggs will be back before either of the Steelers games and the Giants game. And it is a LOOOOOONG time until then. Lots of things can and will happen before we face those teams.

[redrum52]

I think the game will be close but I think by then we should be clicking. Its at home, Suggs should be back and the offense should be gelling, getting ready for the playoffs. I also feel the team will want revenge for how they handled us last time in Flaccos rookie year. Hopefully the d has adjusted and isnt so porous in the secondary. Hopefully, though I doubt it, Cary gets jump started with that pick, even though he got MOSSED by Little earlier.

[chesapeakeaviator]

I would honestly take 8-4 the rest of the way. 12-0 would be better

I will start believing there is a conspiracy if next year we have a road game in San Diego.

[black blood purple passion]

everyone thought minnesota was gonna lose to the 49ers....any team can be beat on any given day; however, we're a really good team on top of that.

I don't think its a guaranteed loss. But they match up very well against us. If they get their pass rush going, we'll struggle to move the ball down the field. They also have elite pass catchers which will drive our secondary nuts.

[CorvusCorax]

The schedulers have it in for us. Conspiracy I tell you...

[UMDan]

We made it through the rough patch in terms of the shortest span of games. We've got ten days off, then KC, Dallas, Houston, bye, Cleveland, Oakland. I think this is the easiest stretch we have coming up (which isn't saying much) and though I don't think it's easy (Houston in particular) I think we can get through it with only one loss.

Thats what happens after we win the division. Tougher schedule.

Must not apply to the Patriots. B/c they have a cupcake schedule.

Of course, they're the pats lol.

You better not lose to the Cowboys. That would be embarrassing...
