There is a big difference between yesterday's win and every single "good" start this team has had in the past 6-8 years, the offense.

We drove the ball down the field and scored TDs. We played against a playoff team that was super fired up and had a huge "us against the world" attitude. We played against a future hall of famer QB. We played a difficult game within the confines of a tough/hostile environment.

The next big test for this team will be to play an inferior team and see whether we have overcome our bad habit of playing down to our competition. And then the bigger test will be to see how the team handles the competitiveness of the NFC East.

In this game, I didn't see some of the same ol' deficiencies this team has and we outright beat a solid playoff caliber team. It is possible that we still will end up with a losing season. But this team has taken a huge step forward and it may have the talent to have a winning record.
