9-7 To The Playoffs?

What a game on Sunday. I wrote us off, and wouldn't even consider looking at the play-off scenario.

If our defense plays like it did on Sunday, I'll atleast glance at the rest of the NFL results now...
----------------------------

Also, I think we can confirm that our injuries in the secondary sealed the fate of our defense for the first half of our season.

It probably wasn't the lack of GW's schemes and what not. It may be pre-mature, but when you shut down arguably the best WR in the NFL, it says something about your secondary.

Look at all the teams that are reeling right now in the nfc but sill alive :
vikes, rams, panthers, giants, falcons, seahawks & saints to some degree too. Even the bears got whipped yesterday, lucky to have made it that close.
Other than the bears, nobody has a clear lock on their division. If the cowpokes win sunday they will have a big 2 game edge, but if the g-men win its still up for grabs. even the iggles are still in it, but I don't think they can put together that many wins. WE win, anything can happen.

Speaking of our secondary, did you guys notice that we had a HUGE pass rush this game? Reading that GW article and thinking about what they said about getting "cute" with stunts, it made me think: Did GW just let them go? We were getting a consistent pass rush all day long. Carter is giving me hope on him once again. He was in Delhomme's face as well as Griffin and Golston.

I agree, the increased effort all around caused hell for delhomme and co.

The increased pass pass coverage made him hold on for that extra half second, thus helping our d-rush as well. The increased pressure, cause in-accurate throws... etc...

Shed's light on the whole "play as a team" concept that's been so foreign to the defense.

I'm so excited that we won and the Giants lost AND the Eagles lost. Last night I went over it in my head. If we win the next two (including beating the Eagles), and the Giants lose to Dallas next week AND the following week, and the Eagles lose next week.... WE ARE IN SECOND PLACE!! :)

Oh, and we have to beat Philly AND the GIANTS and win the rest of our games and they have to lose theirs..... :) It's possible! HAIL!

we've needed that for what, 14 years now...hopefully it lasts for more then one game. Either way I still want a stud DE in the draft this year.

As do I. I also want (if that was the case) for GW to just let his guys rush and forget about stunts. It seems it works better when they just let the guys bull rush people.

In my opinion, jobs are on the line. Either they play like they mean it and the coaches get over themselves or they are out. Glad they stepped up!

You know who I feel is earning a roster spot for next year even though he was the whipping boy earlier? Kenny Wright.

When playing in the nickel position like he was MEANT to be, he has played exceedingly well.
