Playoff Push

If we had won those two games, we'd be right behind the Giants and sitting well at 8-2, way ahead of all these other teams (except TB). Instead, we need to play for our lives for the next 5 games, barely holding on to the 6th seed.

Once again, I will gladly take my foot out of my mouth if the team proves me wrong, but nothing in the past three weeks tells me that this is a team that wants to go to the playoffs. And sadly, if we do, we'll be in the same situation as we've been before when we were bounced in the first or second round. Next week's game against the Giants we'll be the last true test of whether this team really has it in them to run the table and make the playoffs.

Did you forget that we won yesterday, or that we beat the Eagles and Cowboys on the road, or taht we beat the division leading Cardinals, or that we also beat two other conference opponents in the Lions (granted, everyone beats them) and Saints? The Rams and Cowboys at home (who by the way also lost to the Rams) aren't the only two games we played this year.
