The one we play next.

OK, now that I've channeled my inner John Fox, I'll be serious.  Saints and Falcons.  They are the competition in the division, and we absolutely have to beat them heads up.  TB too obv but it looks like they will not be too threatening this year.  We have to own the tiebreakers within the division, and there's no better way to win a division than to win the games against your rivals.  Other than that, I'd like to see us beat Philly, too, just because no one is giving us a chance in that game.  It's almost like one playoff game erased an entire season for both teams.

I agree with you dareal... This game is really important. It will get the season started right if we pull of a big win. I can not help but to think the Arizona game is a big deal for us though. In the movie Balboa Rocky says to his kid "Its not about how hard you can get hit, but how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward." I know it is late in the season but if we come out and pound the tar out of them it will prove the game last year was a fluke. That's just how I see it though. I have an odd sense of calm going into this season. I don't know why but I just feel good about the team...

While divisional games are always important & will always be the most important, what about games outside the division. I agree that the Eagles game is important, because it's gonna set the tone for the season. Im looking at MNF against the Cowgirls in Dallas. This is going to be a nationally televised game, and remember last year on MNF against the Bucs? The Panthers caught fire during and after that game. They came out every week after that win ready to blow teams away. Anytime we win a big game like that, it seems to be the fuel needed for the Panthers fire.
