Re: The Next Four:StL, Cle, Det, and Pit
It's impossible in the modern game for any team to go through the season without getting upset. Basically, it's going to happen to us at least once. I don't see us going 12-4 with the only 4 losses in the NFC East.
With that said, these could easily be three of the four worst teams in football we see over the next three weeks. Losing one of these games would go so far beyond an upset, probably into the we were overlooking them territory, and I'm not sure how often that really happens.
We're 4-1, but with a point differential of only +11. Every other team in our division, including the Eagles, has a far better point differential. What we need to do these next three games is to have at least two blowout victories to prove that along with beating good teams, we can also blow out bad teams.
This is the thing the team had trouble with in Gibbs 2.0. And that one was probably on the players.
