Some things in life are bad
They can really make you mad
Other things just make you swear and curse.
When you're chewing on life's gristle
Don't grumble, give a whistle
And this'll help things turn out for the best...

While generally still crushed by defeat, thought I'd sum up some positives coming up and hopefully our world will be a happier place.

(1) Cortez is gone!

(2) Our Defense is really close to becoming great. I can smell it. It smells like...victory!

(3) We play Arizona at home next week!

(4) The rest of the NFC East hasn't even played each other. They'll beat on each other and somebody is guaranteed to lose!

(5) We're 2-1 in the division!

(6) We get a bye the following week. We really, really could use it!

(7) We don't play until the following Monday Night. That's 15 days to rest and plot!

(8) Julius will be back with plenty of rest and lively legs for the stretch run!

(9) Philly has to play a late Sunday Night game at Washington the week before they play us!

(10) We play Detroit after the Monday Night game in Philly. That's like another 10 days of rest!

(11) After hosting Denver on Thanksgiving, we get another 10 days of rest!

(12) Patrick Crayton's back! (positive thoughts)

(13) We get to make up for the Monday Night Debacle by knocking the Commanders out of playoff contention week 15 at our second home field!

(14) Dan Snyder's face after the game in the owner's box!

(15) Even if we only make the playoffs as a wildcard, we would probably play the "champion" of the NFC North -- and all those teams stink!

Thanks! Of course, it may be too positive, ha ha. Looks like the board ain't ready to put Sunday behind them.

Good post.

Tell me Parcells is going to take the leashes off like he did against Philly and I'll be ecstatic. I really don't think this is a ball control, eat the clock team. I think we can. But I think this is a team that wants to go for it on every drive. They trust the defense enough that they want to take chances.

I hope he'll let them.

Great post dude and all valid points too. We are in great position for this season to roll out just like we want it too.. Hate losing like we did but we're in very good shape... I hear the CONFIDENCE in BP voice during his PC, I think he knows we're gonna be ok too...

And Vinny is playing for the Jets. The only thing better than that would be Vinny playing for the 'skins.

Zagnut, great post. How about keeping it alive, with updates on how you were right.

henry, glenn, pile, davis, fujita, burnett, spears, ware, canty, ratliff are all either new to the team or the league. We're breaking down late in games against hurry ups, no huddles and etc.

Let these guys get to the point mentally where they can handle the hurry ups and we'll be in contention for most feared defense in the NFL.

with a better kicker we're 6-1. We've dominated the leagues top offenses for most of hte game the past three weekends. No one has blown this team out, and we've played Chargers, Eagles, Skins, Giants, Seahawks. What would have been the scores from those games if we had last year's defense?

add to that this is a young team full of guys who are still learning their assignments, the playbook, etc. and getting in nfl playing shape. this defense and offense should only get better with each game played. we will finish strong, my brothers!!!!! playoffs are still the goal, and i believe with all my heart we will win a playoff game and then all bets are off. we can play with any team when we don't selfdestruct, and next year is only going to be better!!!!

We'd have to get the 5th seed(4th seed plays 5th and 3rd plays 6th), and beat out....TB, NJ or Carolina for it, but that would be sweet.

Good post.

Also w/o (IMO) 3 pro bowlers we really outplayed 3 of the best 4 or 5 teams in the NFC.

LB isnt a concern

Bradie is for real, Shanle is solid
D-line is ridiculous and only getting better
Team has to be one of the youngest in the league and still improving
Shut down Alexander, LT, Portis, Westbrook and Tiki. Some of the most dangerous and explosive backs in the league

3 top offenses in the league in a row and owned them all

ect.
