We have looked better than any of our NFC competitors today

The Packers are the real deal. Not sure what game you were watching. Does Dak beat Aaron in a shoot out? Unlikely.

The Packers a great team.

They're also a Tyler Huntley 2 point conversion pass and AJ Green falling asleep in the end zone in Arizona away from being 9-5 instead of 11-3.

The margin for error is razor thin in the NFL. Being 10-4 and winning three straight on the road is a big accomplishment.

I just cut up a pineapple and we have mariachi playing on the speakers!
Of course, good Tequila is flowing. Why else would we be doing this otherwise?

We're throwing down shots por Chente.
Wife's a huge fan.

You have a flair for nightmare scenarios…

I don’t agree. This sounds like a coping mechanism.
After today the #1 seed is fully in play and it looks like Dallas is turning it on at the right time. They are trending upwards and the defense is getting better by the week. All they can do is beat the team in front of them they won by 15 on the road against a bitter rival. That's nothing to be ashamed of.

ice are you watching Saints hold 9-0 lead against Brady and bucs with less than 5 min in game?.....Dak will figure things out....for me seeing Pollard in game getting 75 yards on 10 carries

is such a miracle cause all i could find is 6 months out with such an injury....so we are better than many think we are
I think you are wasting your breath on that guy.

4-3 since November 1st. Which is what he was talking about.
Why the last 7 weeks? How about the last three? Or since the Bye? Or the whole season? Oh right let’s just look at whatever sample size paints us in the worst light to fit the narrative.

Look at what the Saints did to the Bucs. Look at what the Commanders did to the Bucs. Look at what the Lions did to the Cards.

This is the NFL, parity is everywhere.

We’ve won three straight on the road and are in the 2 seed as of now. Our defense is turning dominant. We can beat anyone, anyone can beat us. Same as it ever was.

Other than every metric being down by a lot I agree.

Which metrics? And down by how much?

This may be a difficult concept to grasp, but it's possible the offense could be somewhere in the middle between “pretty bad” and “as dominant as they were the first quarter of the season.” That’s a pretty wide parking lot.

I dont know Risen..seems like the cream of the crop is floating right there with us...maybe there is something to be said for a good defense and getting into the tournament with an offense that is still top 5 in the leaue..I know its crazy..right? Seems the NFL is a week to week business, but hey dont let facts get in the way..right?

Points, yards, both rushing and receiving. All down by a lot. I think we're averaging 10 points less a game the last 7 weeks. That's significant.

Because as was the original quote "since November" the offense has been bad. Nearly two full months of games now.

I know that offends some people. I just don't care. It's the truth.

It doesnt offend anyone, again did you say we would be 10-4 with a top ranked D and O going into the last 3 games? I get your humor but there is no way you thought going into late December we would be 10-4 and the defense was just as much of a reason as the offense.....again do you really remeber the 90's and how that was? Did the triplettes really just blow everyone out 40 to 39?

It is significant. But is it pretty bad? That was what the guy I quoted called it.

It needs to be viewed contextually - there's a huge difference between playing to the level the offense was early in the season, and "pretty bad". That seven-game pretty bad stretch also includes the Atlanta and Raiders games where - despite the loss to Las Vegas - the offense was statistically on-par with its early-season pace. So I'm sure if you look at the totality of that seven-game stretch compared to the first games, there's a dropoff. But does it drop to the level of being considered pretty bad, or just not as great as it was earlier? It may seem like splitting hairs, but it's disingenuous to say the offense has been bad the last seven games.

Right again this offense is still a top ranked offense in the league....THE DEFENSE IS TOO now and no one saw this comming!
