They're amazing. Losses to Washington & NE sandwiched around a noble effort against the Chiefs?!
So in Sept unless playing KC they can't be bothered to show up? They have no business losing either of those games. LOL I marvel at their dysfunction. [Reply]
If they're smart, they'll trade Higgins before the deadline and get what they can for him. But I doubt that they do. Between now and then, they play the Panthers, Giants, Browns, Raiders, Ravens, and Eagles. They should beat all of them except for the Ratbirds. So, if they go 5-1, or even 4-2, then they will think that they've righted the ship and playoff bound, so they won't trade him And maybe they could. They have a pretty soft schedule. They Titans and the Broncos are on the schedule as well. I think that they play all of the 5 worst teams in the league this year. Since one of those 5 is the Browns, that's 6 games that should go their way minimum. Add in a split with the Steelers and a toss up with the Chargers and Raiders, they probably still finish close to .500 even after this terrible start [Reply]

In no particular order: trade Higgins, trade down in the draft, pick up some some guys who play defense, pay Chase, blame Zac Taylor, get bounced in the wild card [Reply]
