but that game, I thought, next to the Pats game, was our most revealing-- showed our great character.

But Im glad for this thread. Its interesting.

So true. With a 16 game schedule, they all count. We could slap the crap out of all 5 of those teams, and then lose to Houston, Tenn, Chicago and Detroit.

The ONLY games I'd rank slightly more important than others are

1. Any divisional game

and then

2. NFC games

Cleveland and/or Arizona probably cost us home field advantage and a bye last year. With an extra week to rest injured players no one would have beaten us.
