Some great and loyal fans around here giving up on the season already. Probably were on here last year in week 12 when we were 5-6 talking all this same trash. It ain't over 'til it's over.

it's different. last year we were 5-6 (.455) not 2-4 (.333), we hadn't fallen behind two nfc east teams (0-2 now, vs 6-0 in 2005), we hadn't gone 0-3 in the division (we went 10-2), we had an easier schedule, and we almost won a bunch of other games (35-36 bucs, failed 2pt conversion vs broncos to tie as time expired, OT loss to SD, all VERY close games).

right now, unless we're super lucky, we'll hit the bye at 2-5 and need to go 8-1 to get back in with no hint of defense or committment to the running game yet in sight.
