:lol still only half a game off winning the division with the easiest run home in the league. Would be nice if Cam hadn't turned into a cripple. Won't win another game.  :banghead

Need some form, 4 straight losses and 3 home losses for the season is pox. Going through divisional standings you're like us, need to improve offense if serious about winning division. Check out the top team in nearly every division, 30+ TDs. We're both 10 behind. Green Bay have got their game going so we just have to keep winning, dropping any stupid game and they'll get us. Luckily we've still got some big offensive outs still to come back like Reggie Bush. We've got the best defense in the league at the moment, conceding less than anyone else and I think most or close to most scores from turnovers, so as long as that holds up and our offense can score more and stop relying on Stafford to throw a game winning TD pass in the last 30 seconds of the 4th then we should be good ;D

I don't know why our Off is struggling to put up big scores though. We've had all of Megatron, Bush and Pettigrew out for a few weeks but they're slowly coming back. At full strength our receivers are Johnson, Tate, Bush, Bell, Ebron and Pettigrew who are all guns. Might just getting used to the new style since getting a new coach. He was offensive coordinator at the Ravens when they won it two seasons back and was Peyton Manning's QB coach at the Colts when he was there so all the more reason our Offense should be firing. He's managed to squeeze more out of late pick receivers like Riddick (game winning TD last game) and still win games without our stars.

We've got some really tough games coming up. We still have to play Cardinals, Patriots and Bills, with the only real reprieve coming from Buccs, Bears and Vikings. Looking around the conference I think we're a good chance to at least go wild card. Currently 7 wins, so as long as we win some and only lose a couple then it should only come down to us, Cowboys/Eagles and Cardinals/Seahawks. Looks like both NFC wild cards this season will have more wins than NFC South winner  :lol :shh

 :lol our offense is total arse. Not only do they not score but they concede points too or turn it over in scoring positions and put the defense under immense pressure. Newton looks totally broken at the moment. Poor bastard could barely stand up on Tuesday. Our bye week is after the Falcons game so that should come in handy.

Holy poo you've conceded half the points we have.  :lol :lol

Eagles are flying. That offence is potent. Dee is a bit shaky

Yeah saw that. Gone this season I reckon  ;D

We're struggling against Cardinals in the desert. Unless we take the lead again in the final minute I hope Philly do us a solid and knock off GB.

Just read that head of officiating claimed two wrong calls in the lions v cardinals game. I wonder which of the 9 flags to zip for the first half that was? One was surely the yard that they took off Ebron that made the difference between a first and a forth down.

Bengals won defeating New Orleans  :sleep

The result that surprised me and was a great result was the St Louis Rams defeating Denver Broncos. Big win for the Rams, showing some signs of steady improvement

A lot of good teams at the top of NFC this season and unfortunately someone from NFC south is going to take one their spots  :banghead

Bengals did us a favour and we balls'd it up. What do we have to do for the no.1 draft pick?  :help

Played against this bloke a lot in juniors (not directly, our teams as he was a mid and I was a forward) since we are the same age and were in the same region/division. As the only one to make it from our year I followed his career a bit. One memory is of a semi final where I opened up early with a couple goals after playing a little closer to goal than usual. Despite the height difference the opposition coach moved Harding on to me since he was always a state rep player and as far as I ever made rep footy was district captain. A runner came out and told me to switch with the full forward taking Scott with me to the square and I got two goals off the next two deliveries.... and thus my only 1 on 1 with him ended ;D I'm sure he has long moved on from that and would well and truly have my measure now lol

Man we got pumped  :help was anticipating losing with our offensive outs but that was woeful. Really should have won last week since we won't win division now with the form of the Packers. Need to battle it out for wild card.
