A win is great. The goal is to win at least 10 games to make the playoffs. Once you're in the playoffs, everyone has a shot. Now, last night's performance didn't really give me that much confidence that we're a 10-win team. It didn't discourage me either. I guess it made me a little indifferent.
I love the turnovers, but you can't expect to force 6 turnovers every week. So, what happens when we play a team that isn't turning the ball over? Our defense didn't really stop the Giants. They drove down the field with ease throughout the entire game. For example, on the second drive when the RB fumbled it away for their second turnover, they drove 80 yards down the field before he coughed it up in the red zone.
Also, our offense didn't put the nail in the coffin early in the game when they had the chance to. This reminded me of last year. I really don't know how to feel about how the team will perform this year. But there are things I was pleased with, such as the offensive line. I'd like to see us make Dez an unstoppable force. I'm also interested to see the pass rush when Spencer and Ratliff come back.
All in all, we need 10 wins to make the playoffs. We got one last night. It wasn't pretty, but I'll take it. Let's get 9 more.
