When are we going to be contenders again?
First off I bought those Indy tickets last year as soon as the field goal beat those Donkeys. Last year was a fluke. Seven (count them seven) things had to happen over a three week period for us to get in and they did. Yes, they play the game to win but a blind man can see that we got lucky. I just don’t see this wheel turning the way Herm says it is. I know a lot of you are optmistic so please enlighten me so that I can join in the optimism. That is if I agree with you….

When does Haley’s Comet come back around? Is Hades due to freeze over?

😆
Besides that we will not be playoff contenders until we have a new O line, and Herm is gone.
I have given up on asking for Carls head on a platter.
It is a waste of energy.

That was a stupid Comment indeed!

I like your optimism.
Questions to answer…
Well lets start with the easy one. Halley’s comet is due back next in 2062, but there is some variance plus/minus a couple years (http://seds.lpl.arizona.edu/nineplanets/nineplanets/halley.html)
As for Carl’s head on a platter…it could happen (see below)
Finally, the return to the playoffs could be in a year if the management could pull their proverbial head out of their a$$. Your team has most of the pieces needed to be succesful. Frankly if you could install 2 really good O-linemen (1 free agent and 1 in the draft) the rest of your line would improve quickly. The next biggest need is at cornerback. Samuel would be nice, but likely will re-sign or be tagged by New England. The only other real hole is on the interior D-line (a run stuffing DT would make a big difference.) All of those issues could be resolved in one offseason. Croyle/Huard would look a lot better going into next season with a healthy LJ, a revamped O-line and a more experienced Bowe/Parker/Webb at WR.

So we get half a win, essentially a tie, I can believe that.

Haleys comet makes its way near here, twice per Cubs World Series championship.

I agree, for the most part. I will have to see what we do during this offseason, but if things go well, we could be in the playoffs next season, and a contender the next.

Ding, ding, ding, ding!!!! :yahoo:
That’s a terrific assesment. The only thing that I would add is that Donnie Edwards will be needing replaced before long. Though that could probably wait ’til next year.

Ahhhhhhhh, If only management would do such a thing.

First of all, the whole backing into the playoffs is a load of crap. Did anyone say the Steelers “back into the playoffs” the year that they won the Super Bowl, because they had a similar situation and we went 10-6 and did not make the playoffs. How come no on eever says we should have been in that spot, but when we do something good it was a fluke. If last seasons week 16 schedule was week 1, and everything worked out the way it did, then we would not be having this conversation. This is the type of underlying negativity about our team that I am constantly talking about. We don’t make the playoffs, everyone bitches….we make the playoffs….everyone bitches. I hope we score enough points in our Super Bowl win to keep everyone happy. As far as being contenders…when this year is over we will be contenders….AGAIN.
