Someone earlier said being a "playoff team" and being a "playoff caliber team" are different and I couldn't agree more. We are not a playoff caliber team until our line gets healthy again. We may be a playoff team at the end of the season b/c our schedule isn't too tough. Outside of NE, we don't have any real tough non conference games (i dont think TB is very good). And conference games are a toss-up so if we can go 2-2 i think we'll be ok.

There was a bit of a quicksand feel to the game yesterday, esp after the penalty sustained scoring drive by mistakes from Fletcher and Landry. So I don't think there's a need to overreact about the defense. What gets me is that the offense did absolutely nothing in the 4th quarter again. I'm beginning to really believe that its a conditioning issue more than anything else (esp with the line). Backup offensive linemen usually make up for what they lack in skill and size with hussle and that doesn't seem to be the case with us. Next year we had better get guys working their butts off in training camp.
