Early this season I saw this even when we lost, and against Tampa it was the reason we came back, but against NE and CAR I didn't. I think today's game can be won, but only if they come out with an attitude. If we lose, I'll be upset, but if we go down swinging, I'll feel good about this teams direction under Gruden. If we come out flat and don't adjust at half time, I will be inching my way to the emergency pod.

Good post...I completely agree. At home for first place? The coaching staff better damn sure have this team ready to play.
