Ok, we need to put Houston behind us. Nothing we do or say will change the fact we got beat.
The next 6 games will make or break us.
5 out of our next 6 are at home. Homefield is so huge in the NFL, we need to make sure we win these home games.
Ravens - The Ravens are coming off of an old fashioned beat down. The Colts shut them down by pressuring Flacco and forcing turnovers.
Most of Indy's yards came through the air, with moderate success on the ground despite losing Addai early in the game.
They got off to a 2-0 start before losing close games to the Steelers and the undefeated Titans.
The Ravens have also been banged up. Mcgahee has been less than 100% and they JUST lost their starting Right Guard Marshal Yanda. Yamon Figures and Demetrius Willaims are having MRIs of their knees.
Despite these problems, they have 3 great Running backs in Mcgahee, McClain and Rice.
This will be another tough game for the Fins, but if they can control the line of scrimage on both sides of the ball and pressure Flacco on D we can win this.
Chance for a Fins victory - 50%
Bills - Trent Edwards should be back for this one. The Bills face SD this weekend so we will get a better picture of where they stand as their wins have come against less than spectacular opponents thus far.
That said, the Bills have a knack for spoiling our parties.
This is a team we can beat, especially at home. I would label this one as "MUST WIN." If we want to have any shot at post season.
Chance for Fins Victory - 60%
@ Denver - Likely a loss for us. Unless our Secondary can improve greatly over the next 2 games, Jay Cutler and Brandon Marshall will make Matt Schaub and Andre Johnson look incompetent.
That said, their defense is as bad as their offense is good. If we could find a way to hang in there score for score with them, we may have a shot to win it in the 4th quarter.
Chance for Fins victory - 45%
Seattle - Seattle is a mess, lets hope they stay a mess until after November 9th. Too early to call, but I like the fact they are making the longest road trip in the NFL.
Chance for Fins victory - 65%
Oakland - This team always scares me. They play tough D and run the ball very well. Darren McFadden if healthy will be a problem for us.
Chance for Fins victory - 60%
New England - Unless they go out and get John Kitna or someother QB in the next 24 hours I think this is a VERY winnable game for us. DONT SELL YOUR TICKETS TO PATS FANS!!!
Chance for Fins victory - 90% (
)
If we want to make the playoffs we need to go 5-1 and no worst than 4-2, in my opinion. 3-3 wouldnt be horrible but we are facing 4 out of 5 on the road after this with the Bills (In Canada) and Jets left to play.
Even if we arent making the playoffs, it is important for us to take back JRS. We need to win our home games, and this is as good a place as any to start. (We really started against SD, lets get a home win streak going!!!)
