Our next 5 games are winnable and crucial. Last year we lost 5 straight after our first win and it killed our season in terms of playoff hopes. Winning the next 5 would put us at 6-2 and IF things continue like they have been in the NFC, strong playoff contenders.
Cards - barely got past Tampa and have not looked like world beaters in any game. Winning here is absolutely crucial, it gets us the momentum we need for the rest of our games.
Vikes - finally got their first win after 3 straight losses and will be coming off their bye week when we play. This will be another test for our run D and I like it. If we can shut down their run game and force them to pass we will win this.
Rams - right now they are a mess. But they do have time to correct things before we play. I'm hoping they will still be a mess. I think our D line will dominate their O line. If we do that and let Cam do his thing we could win this by a blowout.
Bucs - they embarrassed and swept us last year. Right now they have no identity on offense but have plenty of time to figure it out. I'm hoping they will realize they have lots more problems than just QB. Road wins in the NFC South can be hard to come by and a win here keeps us in contention for the division.
Falcons - to say they have been less than impressive is an understatement. I've already heard some of the talking heads that they have an easy schedule ahead (Jets, bye, Tampa, Cards, and Panthers) but any one of these could be a trap game. They are dealing with injuries so who knows what kind of shape they will be in by this time. This will be another crucial division game that we have to win.
None of these teams look like world beaters but a whole lot can change over the next couple of weeks. Being 6-2 or even 5-3 at the halfway point of our season will set us up for a run to the playoffs.
