Our next 6 games

[richpjr]

They can but why?

They already didn't want to this season or else they would've done so in March when it could've helped them

Because we may need cap space?

[Beerman]

Better off extending Weddle to lower his cap number. He clearly has more than a few good years left.

[floydefisher]

Reality check.

It's one game against a team known for playing ole defense. While it is encouraging, it's hardly worth breaking out the champagne and thinking this team just turned a huge corner.

At least I know it will be an entertaining 5-11 watching this offense operate.

[Mister Hoarse]

Just give it all you have...

Go Bolts!!!

It all depends on when you play each team. Playing Washington right now is good because RG3 is not fully healthy, is extremely rusty, and is learning how to play without his turbocharger. He is a very smart kid and eventually he will figure it out. And then the Redskins might not be mediocre.

Injuries keep piling up for poor Indy. They lost starting RB for the season now it appears they have lost starting OLman.

Dallas is adjusting to Kiffin, their 17th different DC in the past 4 years. Once they catch on, might be a better team.

Oakland looked good. Against Jacksonville.

The Jags might be starting Tebow by the time we play them.

actually the cap should stay flat until 2015. And the Chargers are already really close to that projected cap

I believe we are over it.

[Stinky Wizzleteats+]

Well, ill leave our cap worries to thus who are paid to worry about it, and those proping up doom and gloom positions...

[Den60]

Oh please.

The cap is supposed to go up and there are a bunch of things they can do to create more cap room if needed. Enjoy the win and stop worrying about something that will most definitely change by next season.

What the hell is wrong with debating? Beerman posts that he wants to keep all these guys and I just ask where we will get the money to do so. It is a realistic question if you just take a look at our situation and how much money these guys will be paid next season. Between just Hardwick, Clary and Royal we are between $18-19M in cap space which would be about 14% of our cap. Throw in Rivers and his $16.7M cap number and that takes us to about 28% of our cap being tied up in just 4 players. I just want to know where the money is going to come from.

[Beerman]

If he keeps producing, hard not to. He looks like he did in his rookie year. He's a mismatch with how he's currently being used. He needs to prove he can stay healthy all season though before we get too far into this discussion.

I do think there will need to be some contract work with some of these guys in their last years to stay on this team.

Could of swore I answered that already, oh I did.

So far we haven't done well against Tebow.

[Panama]

Never said we were winning all of those, but those teams don't look as imposing now that the season has started. Indy, Dallas, and Wash were all marked as losses and now...not so much. All those teams have just as many glaring holes as we do, if not more.

Why would anyone mark the Dallas game a loss???

We're right where I thought we would be. I expect us to be 2-1 after this weekend, 5-3 at the halfway point, and finish 7-9. The front end of our schedule is fairly easy. The back end, not so much. That said, I wouldn't be surprised if we picked up a couple extra games along the way. I always thought this was a .500 team, plus or minus 2 games.

[Panama]

Miami might not be as bad as expected either.

Expected by whom? I know I'm not the only one who predicted a Wild Card berth for the Dolphins this year. (Although, the way NE has looked, maybe you're right, maybe Miami won't be as bad as a WC and maybe wins the division.)
