So you're happy with the way the team has played the past two weeks? The defensive struggles and INT's don't bother you?

Im happy we made the tourney Im happy we have double digit wins 2 years in a row. Im not getting hung up with what can happen.I dont lose sleep on this team. Most fans are not realistic in what they see. They focus on one or 2 things then complain about it over and over at nauseum.

Defense is a concern. Ints are also a concern but weve won 10 games most likely will end up with 11 or 12 wins. How many of the gloom and doomers had that at the beginning of the year? NFL is week to week league they can go out and play really well and beat Philly and some of you will happy then they can crap the bed against titans AND THE SKY IS FALLING AGAIN.

Ill focus on the Bucaneers in week 18 and if they lose Ill lose 0 sleep but its just entertainment. Ill enjoy its why its here

We actually clinched because we've won 10 games!

I think this is what frustrates me about people bashing it.

It’s not like we snuck in at 6-11 and a bunch of teams choked.

There are 7 teams with 10+ wins. Six have clinched playoff spots.

Don't matter if fools gold or real gold, it is still exciting thinking you found something. It is what you do after that will define you. Keep digging or quit.

No one said they were quitting, just responding to the one person, what it is after 27 years of fools gold, don’t think no one said they were quitting. NOW CARRY ON!

Does it feel good to back into the playoffs? Not really. But it feels better than discussing draft picks today like the 'ol No-Names.

The "fired/trade/cut everybody" people are OTT, but if you are not concerned about the way this team is playing you are ignoring reality.

So you don't care who wins or loses you just like the purty uniforms and bright lights. OK, got it, we'll put you in the "it don't matter one way or the other" camp of non-fans.

This whole the Boys haven't earned it take is so wild. 10 wins gets you in 99% of the time and there's really nothing else to say about it. They are in and everything else in the regular season is a bonus/staying healthy

When

1. The QB has made it clear he is not going to change and will continue to throw a INT or more a game.

2. The coach and offensive coordinator made it clear they are too stupid to close out a game when drawing a 40 yd pass on 3rd and 10

3. The defense has made it clear they cant hold a lead and will collapse in the 2nd half


So why would any fan be SMILING after clinching a playoff spot from another team playing well??

I am far from excited.
I am really bummed out in regards to the Dallas Cowboys.

Apparently the 10 games Dallas won was nothing. If Dallas had the Tampa Bay Win/Loss, I agree 100%. Dallas earned those wins all things considered. Now the problem is they're slacking, whether it's by injury, drinking the juice or being 1 dimensional.

This team isn't going to win anything anyway. Another year and another sad ending. I hate to say it but I am getting quite used to it unfortunately.

This D is terrible and our OC out thinks himself.

You are "getting" used to it? LoL, who isn't used to it for ages now?

Unless a team goes undefeated, isn't that the way you usually advance to the playoff, i.e., having a team beat the team you're competing for for a playoff spot? :huh:

The defense giving up 500+ yds should be first and foremost.
