Let's face it, this is not your father's NFL, its more NBA anymore with tons of points being scored every week. The 17-10 games don't happen much any more. There are more 35-31 type games. A bend but don't break Defense that can get turnovers is really all you need. Keep winning the turnover battle, which gives your offense more possesions than their offense and you have a better chance to win. Come up big on 3rd down a few more times than they do to force a FG, and you can win. Do we all lose our hair while we watch? Absolutley, but it can work!

I honestly think that the key is that we didn't rest on the 28 point lead. Against the Rams and Bucs I would say we did to a certain extent, in one it cost us the game. KS and Griffin both understand that we have to kill the clock at times, but we also need to extend 4th quarter drives and have them end with points.
If we win one of the next 2, the last 3 games all will be meaningful. That's a good start for Griffin's career.
