I think it mostly comes down to Eli.. how Eli plays determines our fate... of course that can be said for any QB but Eli is different.. Eli has flashed brilliance... he has shown he can be an Elite QB... problem is to reach Elite Status you have to be consistent. Just observing Eli I see he fucks up most when his body is cold... that's not true 100% but most of the time.. and that goes for most athletes. When the Giants go 3 and out and I see Eli just sitting on the bench it bugs me because him not staying warm makes his throws more erratic. The 2nd part is his mechanics. When the throws the ball with zip, it gets there.. hits its target... when he floats it.. it's a coin flip.
Jim, the 4 teams you mentioned on our schedule that would be tough, I'm sure they're looking at their schedule and are saying the same thing about us. in that respect I'm not worried.
I don't think Tynes will stay on the roster especially if this new guy kicks like he's been kicking and Dodge (poor kid was shit on as though he lost us the Eagles' game.. which he did not)... Dodge is playing lights out.
I love our new center.. this guy is a mean fuck lol. The way he clobbered that Chicago defender then took down two more players with him was a thing of beauty. T2 was great for us but Ross aint that far behind... especially now that he's in a contract year.. he better play with a fire under his ass.
The way I see it... Eli Eli Eli.... that's our season.
