This game was a must win for the team and the players knew it. It will be looked upon as big as any regular season game this season before it’s all said and done.

The players were under a lot of pressure to win this game and they came through despite trying to lose it through mistakes and penalties.

I expect them to come out of the bye week and play well against Atlanta, Seattle, Philly and GB. They probably won’t win all 4, but I expect improved play.

In the sense that it allowed this team to avoid a total malaise of mediocrity. Basically a loss today would have been devastating…just think if that field goal isn’t blocked where would we be right now?

      It was a win that a team needed if they think they can right the ship over the bye week. It keeps the collective heads above water. We won’t know if they’ll be swimming towards success off of this for a few weeks…

but it surely saved us from all gloom and doom

but a loss may very well have killed it.

I’m glad your Mall of America Stadium is finally completed and starting to generate income. Gas prices on the east coast are falling.

I heard a construction worker buried a Steeler’s jersey under the concrete beneath the star! There’s pictures on YouTube of him laying it in there and then putting dirt on it.

Nice win today. Ya gotta get healthy so you can take out Manning. The Skins are a mess and the Eagles will find something to upset McNabit with. I just can’t bare to see Elijah lisping in the national media or having to watch his childhood front yard football games during playoff halftimes. In the one film with Peyton running around in the yard, you can see toothless Uncle Jebadyah Manning peeking from behind a tree. Pretty messed up but it got through editing.
  
Well, I’ll leave you to your giant silver space beatle and better out of the pocket QB.

No!

If we win against some good teams later it won’t be because we squeaked out an ugly OT victory against a horrible team, that’s for sure.

In fact, knowing this team’s psyche the way I do, Wade and staff will focus on the upside and how the team fought and refused to give up. In the end, I expect that to come back and haunt them.

Landry or Jimmy would have fumed over how a game against a team as hapless as the Chiefs was ever in doubt against Dallas. Those two would have chewed major a$$ on the flight home and would have made every single player feel like they had no business collecting a paycheck after such a debacle. They would have fumed over the mental lapses and made both the coaches and players feel that pain over the course of the next two weeks.

In the end, in any organization, it is all about what standards of performance which you are willing to accept. Jimmy and Landry had lofty expectations of their teams. Wade, IMO, doesn’t have a clue as to what it takes to lead these men to the top of the mountain.

So, the simple answer is “no”, it didn’t save our season.

But it may save next year’s. ;-)
