Games we should have won...and did

So Gibbs has an 8-8 record against weak teams...not a very strong case for this weekend's game.

Why so? You think the Lions are a weak team? If so you have no case. Remember they are 3-1.

We will defeat the lions at home.

remember they gave up 56 points a week ago. "Weak" is relative, but yes, I'd consider them weak.

Then they bounced back last week and scored how many points on chicago in the fourth quater to win a big game?

That's still a team that is 3-1, they are in no way by me considered a weak team by ANY stretch. They are very dangerous, and if a team like the lions is taken even lightly they will burn you....time after time!

8-8? wtf?

If you are going to make up numbers to try to prove a point, it's probably better to reconsider making it in the first place.

Smootsmack listed 8 teams he thought we should've beaten and did, and I listed 8 teams I thought we should've beaten and didn't. That's where the 8-8 comes from. 8-8 against lowly teams isn't confidence inspiring as we head into this weekend is my point.

They've also beaten, among other, the Jaguars, Saints, Seahawks, and Eagles when not thought possible.
