Someone must loose for the boys to make it…

That was a nice win last night.  The ‘boys did to the Skins essentially what the skins did to them in week 4.  When the Skins won at Texas stadium they  had a huge time consuming drive that effectively ate up most of the 4th quarter and left the ‘boys down by two scores w/ nowhere near enough time pull off the comeback.  Well, it was nice to give the skins a taste of their own medicine in this one by eating up that last 6 minutes plus to close out the win.  I hope that the defense continues to play like this, (and call the types of stunts and coverages they did last night) because it won’t be long before the offense gets into a groove.  As they get healthy this team should start rolling up 28 or points a game again… 

 

But wouldn’t it be sad if they were playing the best football in the league by season’s end and missed the playoffs?  It could happen. 

 

I’ve never seen a season before where so many teams had such good records this late in the year.  With the Giants at 9-1 the division title is out of reach.  The NFC north doesn’t matter because the only team going to the playoffs from that mess of a division is the winner.  The west doesn’t matter either as the Cardinals are the only team going from there.  The problem is the NFC south.  The Panthers 8-2, the Bucs 7-3, Falcons 6-4.  The boys really need some of the teams in that division to start loosing, (thank you Denver for beating Atlanta).
