Well, I'm not really, but for this game I am.
There is literally no one picking us to win this game Sunday, and that may work in our favor. We have been the underdog last year and a little this year to start, however, our past 4 games have shown why we really are.
There's no expectation to win. Our defense will use this to ready themselves for the vaunted high power offense of Atlanta.
Our offense has had 4 games to identify the issues stopping them from scoring. I'm over it being just Cutler. I'm looking past that, and am on the offense as a whole wagon. Defenses are playing zone on us, 4 games has proven that. Gase will throw out what hasn't worked and introduce what does. 4 games is a lot of info to choose the right plays. The receivers need to catch. The short game is what we're playing because that's all the defense is giving. Looking back as Cassell's Titans, their short dump off game was pretty good. Short darts for 10 yards will move us down field, we just have to catch first.
Our line is not getting it done. For Cutler or Ajayi. This seems like a game where they can face the giants, show their teeth and pin their ears back because again, we aren't supposed to win.
Gase is the x-factor here. I get the feeling this guy does not like losing. And yes, we are .500, but I'm thinking Gase doesn't see a win against the Titans, just a survival of the worst 2 team's efforts. He has enough tape to see who can do what and plan for it. Gase was quoted saying he wasn't going to lose to Quinn again, and this week I believe that.
So. I predict a win for the above mentioned reasons. It may be by a fg, who knows. This team has been through the worst 1st 4 weeks and finally had some stability in a win against the Titans. This week is week 2 of consistency that needs to extend all year w/o a bye.
Bottom line, I feel we have identified the issues, and the O staff, receivers and Cutler know what they need to do. I'm not too worried about the defense, because they are having fun out there.
The Fins just need to dig down deep and tap unity and heart to pull this one out.
