This team is a lot closer than a lot of people would have you believe, we may have lost today but we saw progression in the passing game, Portis is hitting form just when we need him - we MAY lose to the Cowboys, but we MAY win and it'll be a cold day in hell before I say we WILL lose to them!!!!
Damn straight...good post.

it's been pretty friggin' cold up here last week,and supposed to get colder next week.
face it,we have as much of a chance to beat dallas in dallas,as we did new england!i hate those jamfs worse than anybody,but the truth is we are gonna get lambasted next week.

there should be a separate thread, but what the hell is wrong with the defense??? they lost the game today... the offense has overcome alot of things to put a couple of games together and start to meld together, and our D gives up over 30 at home to a struggling 3n win team???

Injuries and the ever lack of a pass rush have done them in finally

Yeah this is the first game that our defense lost for us. I thought our offense looked great.

Does it make you feel better to predict our demise? Does it make you feel like a big man???? If you can't route for the Skins, then get the hell off this site.

We have a ton of injuries and we're not playing the way we could. Shit happens. We still have a WINNING record as of right now, so to say the season is over (whoever said it) needs to shut up. Stop quitting every time there is some adversity.

Wow. Just wow.

These games are sickening to watch. I don't know how much more I can take. Even the wins are painful to watch.

On the positive side, the Giants and Lions lost today. Those are the teams we need to think about when it comes to the POSSIBILITY of a wild card. Of course, the way we play against teams with winning records makes the playoffs seem so far from our grasp.

I can't wait to hear Gregg talk his way out of the fourth quarter.

Excellent point. The Saints, Lions, Giants, and Panthers all lost today. The playoff picture doesn't look any different than it did last week. I know people want to say after each loss that we have no shot of going to the playoffs, but the playoff picture consists of our record AND the record of other contenders.

But we play Dallas next week, then we have to go into Tampa. IMO we're staring 5-6 right in the face. Plus the Giants have an easier schedule than us down the stretch. I understand your point about how things look right this second, but anyone expecting or even considering a victory next week is dreaming. It's gonna be tough to watch.

A win next week is a longshot, but certainly not impossible. The most frustrating thing is that in week 3 the Giants were 0-2 and in complete disarray. We had a chance to kick them while they were down and possibly effectively end their season. We didn't and gave them new life.

Same situation this week with Philly. We had a chance, as I said earlier this week, to not only beat them and effectively end their season but also essentially end the Reid-McNabb era in Philadelphia. Now we may have breathed new life into their season.

Stay positive, we wont be able to end Dallas season.
