Thread: Strange Feeling about this offseason and upcoming season...

Sambro, Schofield, Garcia, and especially Paradis. I love me some young OL competition.

Hope you are right.

I have a funny feeling you all worry too much.

Number one seed.

Super bowl victory.

Top 5 on both sides of the ball.

Cj 2000 all purpose yds

DT and Sanders 20 tds

Latimer break out year

Manning 4500 yrs, 40 tds. Regular season and super bowl mvp.

Can't wait.

Did you watch the playoffs the last three years?

Why worry about something we have no control of?

I could totally see a 8-8 / 7-9 season or even worse that would shock people.

This is a major overhaul.

I sure did. Guess why, you guessed it, the Broncos won their division and had a 1st rd bye each of those years.

Why worry? OMG, Manning is old. So what. Maybe a ball control offense keeps him fresher. Maybe he only goes three wide all shotgun craziness when we have to instead of all game every game and he has more left in the tank when we win our division yet again.

Chill out. I think John and Gary know what they're doing and they obviously both wanted Manning or they would've forced him to retire.

So you think we're going to be trading up. I know, I know, you think that we're going to crash this year. The thing is, we are the only ones having these problems. I don't know if every team has already been faced with a season ending injury already, but the Cards had 3 before the start of last season. They finished 11-5.

I think if Peyton played Seattle 100 times, they would win 90 times. I just don't think he has the physical tools to beat elite defenses anymore - so it's hard for me to muster a ton of excitement for another division title when the issue is winning in the playoffs against the best defenses.

CJ says relax

I dont like this offseason. Guys are drinking the koolaide and thinking were not going to skip a beat or in fact will be better. But too many changes and too many losses isnt a good thing.

This thread sums up exactly how I feel. I hope to God I'm wrong but I'm sick to my stomach. In possibly Mannings last year I think we were wrong to change it all up.

We might win 10 games if were lucky.

Hopefully our defense makes a little more noise this year than in the past.

See you at the end of the year then.

All of these threads end up talking about the offensive line or Manning, both of which are valid issues. But if we're good this year, I honestly think it's going to be because of the defense. Let these guys loose and see what they can do. Manning will win enough games if the pressure isn't all on him, no matter if he has declined or not.
