Re: we are GOING to make the playoffs!
 

I've taken a strong stance in the past against rock solid predictions about the future. Nobody can predict the future, just make educated guesses at best, so how can you just come out an declare...

Ah, the hell with it! Someone pour me a nice tall glass of the sweet red stuff!

[QUOTE=BugelDisciple;380035]win out? bullshit. this team displayed one characteristic, no heart[/QUOTE]

Wrong, wrong, and completely wrong.

Re: we are GOING to make the playoffs!
 

JC was terriffic, CP was getting us some yards, and even Moss showed some life, However you do have to notice that we are 1-3 in our division, where tiebreakers could make or break our season. I can only hope that we do pull it off.

I was about to say the same damn thing

Re: we are GOING to make the playoffs!
 

We're not going anywhere unless we reverse the recent trend of losing. We've lost three of four games. We need to win a game before we think of what could be.

Re: we are GOING to make the playoffs!
 

Have to take this one game at a time folks. I think they can and will do it also, but we do play a tough TB team next weekend. We played great today, but we did have a typical 2nd half collapse with the D til the last drive. TB, the Giants, and another crack at Dallas isn't going to be easy. I hope we can get ST back for TB next weekend. Buffalo and Chicago are gimmes now in my book. Minnesota is a big question mark since Taylor did pretty good today for them. That should be a gimme also though.

With the skins, no game is a gimmie. We play good teams close, but we don't blow away bad teams.

Re: we are GOING to make the playoffs!
 

Wow! The kool-aid is flowing like... kool-aid i guess. Playoffs? Playoffs? Seriously. We're dropping games left and right at this pt. I thought JC was great today, especially his poise on the big stage, but there are a lot of serious issues to work out.

[quote=coggs;379975]I wouldn't get too excited. I didnt see the game, but the Dallas D is not very good.[/quote]Are you talking about the same D that limited your sorry a$$ Giants to 3 points in the second half?

Re: we are GOING to make the playoffs!
 

The Lions will lose at least three more games (look at their schedule, brutal), the Eagles still face NE, Dallas, NYG and Seatle so count 2 losses. The Cards will probably only lose to the Browns (rest of the schedule is soft though they do play Sea so either they are the div winners or lose out in a tie breaker to Skins). Seattle can't put together two games in a row so count on at least a loss or two. Even if the Giants don't have their typical end of season implosion and find a way to win out, Skins can lose two more and get 6th seed. Not the best way to get to the playoffs, but it puts us on the right track.
9-7 is nothing to brag about, but it's a winning record so...

7th in the NFL going into the game. But hey, he didn't see the game so I guess stats are pointless too.

Re: we are GOING to make the playoffs!
 

How can you guys start talking about the playoffs?? It's almost comical to me.

In the last two weeks something very important has happened. The offense is really starting to show signs that they just don't care what the defense does. That's what the elite teams do. It's a really big step. I know it's very early for all of us to think like this, but this is something so huge to build on. IMO.

Re: we are GOING to make the playoffs!
 

I no longer think we are going to make the playoffs. Considering that TB won today and has a cake of a remaining schedule, TB edges us out for the 6th seed with the NYG taking the 5th seed. I'm encouraged by today (despite the loss), but I don't see us getting by with 9 wins and I don't think that 10 wins is a realistic expectation considering we can only afford one more loss and play @TB, @NYG, and DAL.

I doesn't matter. We aren't here for moral victories. We've lost the last two weeks.
