Re: Do we still have a shot?
ok..the emotions are high right now after our loss. We absolutely still have a chance.
We are in exactly the same spot we were in before today's games were played. So we lost NO ground. The teams we were trying to catch all loss as well. The loss sucks big balls BUT this is the first game the D allowed less than 400 yards. Every game the D is getting better. The loss today is more on the offense. We know our offense is going to battle back. the dream still lives on. Keep the faith! |

Re: Do we still have a shot?
They don't consistently score points or even sustain long drives. Even in the games we've won and scored a fair amount of points in there have been a lot of 3 and outs, or drives that stall far outside of even field goal range. Maybe inconsistent isn't the right word, considering the fact that they haven't ever been really dominant to begin with this year. Even against Oakland I think they left a lotta points on the field.. ultimately my point remains the same. I don't believe this years offense is good enough to take us to the playoffs

Re: Do we still have a shot?
I have to moderately disagree - we DID lose ground today.
1) This morning we needed Seattle, Minnesota and Tampa Bay to drop a game. Now we need these three teams to lose another game AND we need the Cowboys and Redskins to lose another game. 2) We have ZERO margin for error now. Anything less than a 5 game winning streak means we are out. 3) There are only 5 games left were we can get the help needed in #1 |

Re: Do we still have a shot?
They are pretty much in the same position no? Have you watched the Cowboys and Vikings play? They are garbage! I agree that we need to win out but I was pretty much at that mindset already. All I am saying is that we still have a chance, just like it was just a chance before today.

Re: Do we still have a shot?
Up until today, our O has not been inconsistent. We looked out of whack and I totally blame it on trying to feed 4 rb's. No consistency, it was almost to the point it was earlier in the year. Ingram runs once, he comes out. Ivory runs 1 maybe 2 times, he comes out. PT has done NOTHING with the touch's he gets. We need to get back to what we were doing. I think Carmichael out game planned himself. Get back to what got us here.

Re: Do we still have a shot?
Well, yes and no. If we stop getting all full of ourselves and put our heads down and really concentrate we can get to the playoffs. However that will take the coaches to stop being so hard headed and the players learning how to tackle. We used to think we could lose two more games and still make it, but realistically there's no way we can lose another and still make it.

If we don't get out patchwork o-line fixed by Thursday night, no.
