We're going to be good, real good...We're going to be something special. The talent we have on this team and then coach Mora brings everything together just right...Don't flex us in, we'll have our coming-out party in the playoffs.

I think it's possible

because I’m getting more and more sold on the scheme of the offense and defense. The talent, though, and the coach I don’t think alone constitutes something special. Just another decent team, a good team, that like before can really make a splash if everything goes right. If we’re special, I think it will be because the league didn’t anticipate our new defense. There’s question marks on the talent, though, all over.

Now THIS...

is the kind of classy, yet confident disposition we’ve needed on our team for quite some time. I really like hearing that. With the addition of Aaron Curry, and the Leroy Hill situation, the Housh signing this off-season has been pushed [while still on the stove, of course] to the back burner. I think Housh has a positive significant impact on not only the teams productivity, but the team’s mentality, and attitude. Housh strikes fear in defenders hearts, and instills confidence in his teammate’s hearts.

And, quite frankly… from the way he spoke in the interview… he’s totally pissed off about the whole “East Coast Bias” / “Seattle National Media Blackout” business, and plans to do something about it, gentlemen.

Oh hell yes!!

I'm sorry, but this does nothing for me.

Every year, someone on every team says the same thing. The only teams that don’t have guys saying ’don’t sleep on us, we can be real good’ are teams like the Colts, Steelers, and Pats, since they’re already good and no one is sleeping on them.

Shit, are you telling me the Lions aren't going to the playoffs this year?

Kevin Smith thinks so.

And last year Kitna said they would be 12-4 before the season started. They were a hair shy of that mark

I thought it was 10 wins?

Pessimist

I agree, I think we’ll be awesome, yet…

Our Offensive line is Fragile and even when healthy may not be very dominate.
Our Defensive line is missing that very dominate big man. Mebane is playing a new position, and his counterparts are unproven to be the force we need them to be.
We have a saftey that needs to retire.
We don’t have a great RB core, hopefully they develop into a 3 headed monster, but who knows.
We have a new system on both sides of the ball.

I totally think we’ll be great, but just like last year, there are reasons to see that people may just be enjoying the happy juice this early in the season.

Hoping Kerney, Tubbs, Branch, Engram, Bernard stays healthy…

Man last year sucked.
