I for one believe we would have a real shot considering the rest of the schedule. I figure there is room to drop 1-2 games but I'm looking at the 49'ers and they are coming off a Mon night game against the Bears. I don't see them playing at a high level. When we play the Falcons again they may start taking the pedal off the gas. Those are the only two games I would be concerned about. The rest of the teams are beatable even with our "Pewter Curtain" defense. I think we can do this.

Sadly, you think it's over, but it's not. It's only gonna get worse over the next 4. Anyway, we've won 13 games in a row before and all we need now is 11 so it is possible.

We just gotta win. Winning them all is a tall task but not impossible. Not much room for error now. One more loss may not doom us but 2 pretty much will have us on the couch for the playoffs.

We won 10 in a row last year counting the playoff win against the Lions.

We beat the Cardinals, the Vikings, and the Colts with basically the same crew so with great coaching and heart we can beat the Giants and 49ers. We lose against ATL and it won't really matter.
