100%... Given how banged up the offense is I'll take any kind of W, especially on the road. IDGAF about style points this early in the year.

If we can get through September at 3-1 I'll be pretty happy.

I think the goal of the start of the season is to stay close to 500 or above. If they can survive tell they get the rest of the players back, then we will be in good shape.

I think even with our injuries that we'll be 4-0 going into that Rams game.

lol we are limping after playing the seahawks, per usual. Hopefully we can blow these guys out in the first half and rest our starters. Not probable but I can dream. I do think we can win this game.

The Arizona game is the next game that concerns me - divisional opponents are always tough. I'm interested to see how our defense does against a scrambling QB like Murray.

Eff the Saints and I hope the boys dominate and stay healthy.

If we can't beat the Rattler led Saints, then we need to reevaluate this franchise.

The Cards game is going to be very very tough. Especially with no Kittle and whatever injuries we encounter this Sunday.

If we're only missing Kittle, then I still like our chances.

If we're missing Purdy or even Jennings then I'll start to get nervous before the game even begins.

Nothing is guaranteed in this league. Especially when we're missing key players and possibly our QB.

Saints have some good players on their roster. They won't fold just cuz their QB isn't great.

Even if we manage to win vs the Saints the Arizona and Jags games aren't pushover matchups. Arizona defense is legit and we've had our issues with Murray. Not to mention we have to make sure we're not getting beat up even more.
