Tied for 5th best record in NFC

[JWsleep]

We don't need to beat Dallas in Dallas to get a WC. We need to beat TB, Buf, and Chi, and then Minn, and either NY on the road or Dallas at home, IMO. Maybe we can even drop one of these, depending on how it goes around the league. I see 9 as pretty reachable (barring more sickening collapses!), and 10 as a possibility, especially if ST can come back, and THomas, perhaps as well.

TB is a MUCH bigger game than Dallas in Dallas. I hate them, but it's going to be very tough. Could happen. But we're not dead by any respect if it does. Big question whether 9, or even 10 in some scenarios, will get you in. But it could go the other way as well.

Take care of all business at home and win a tough road game or two. Dallas may be a bridge too far without Taylor, IMO. But Tampa Bay is not.
