I will take the win but it means nothing if they can't get a split of these next 4

[Sarge]

One game at a time.

Beating up on a 0-6 team doesn't impress me at all when the defense have not shown they can stop a team with a good offense all season. So going 2-2 in the next 4 means they have a real shot at a wildcard in the NFC and that would be more impressive. It would be impressive because it would mean the defense was able to stop Cousins, Alex Smith, Matt Ryan or Carson wentz led offenses.

Try raising your expectations. 4-0

KC has defensive issues. Lost the last two. Keep Alex Smith in the pocket.
Atlanta is not the same team. They are soft.
Washington historically chokes at home against the Cowboy.
Eagles will be so excited, they'll wet themselves and fail. The only game I would worry about.

I would be content with a 5-5 record before thanksgiving after that four game stretch. Anything better than 5-5 would be considered a bonus

 

[CATCH17]

Yesterday we looked like we were back.

Arrow is point up imo.


We need to reel off a few in a row.

 

[Zekeats]

How about no more losing from here on out. Zeke looks like he shed the extra pounds finally and the oline looks like its a contender again with it finally being a solidified group.

 

[gimmesix]

Coming out of the gate hot was important this year due to our tough schedule. The first 6 weeks of the season was going to be our easiest, and even then, we had the Broncos and Packers.

We needed to pull out a win against the Packers or Rams at least. We didn't. We will need a serious turnaround or some playmakers to come into their own to win enough games.

Denver is the game that's haunting us right now. The Broncos haven't been the same since we made them look like world beaters. Packers are always tough with Rodgers at QB and the Rams look like their following our success pattern on offense, only with a better defense.

You not supposed to get too high after a win thats over a 0-6 team

 

[Sydla]

Never understand people immediately raining on a good win.

Oh so we aren't allowed to talk about the future schedule and it's importance after beating an 0-6 team?

I really wish people would put together a handbook detailing what you can and can't talk about after a win.

 

[Reverend Conehead]

That's a tough schedule. Better go in with great game plans.

True but nobody has crushed San Fran like we did. They've been in every game and we completely destroyed them.

 

[pitt33]

Enjoy the win. It was Zeke's best game of the season and after next week, be his last until December.

He certainly is going to get suspended at some point. Alnd in all likelihood it will be after next week. This case will not be thrown out.

All these prognostications will be a moot point without him. Let’s wait and see what happens.

Not sure how a loss to an out-of-conference team is haunting us.
The game that's going to haunt us will most likely be the Rams loss.
GB is done but the Rams will be in the playoff hunt. If they lose their division
to Seattle, they will own a wild card tiebreaker over us.

Why do I hear the voice of Jim Mora in my head??? "Playoffs!?!"... lol

When does this game end?

Dallas wins a Superbowl and there will be people five minutes after the victory, before they are even given the trophy, coming here and making comments about the team better stay focused if they intend to repeat.

Then the hand wringing begins.

It was a good win. Maybe you should enjoy it for a while before starting in on the future.

Didn't mean it that way. Based on how Denver has played since shellacking us, that was a team we should have beaten.

Green Bay with Rodgers was always a toss-up and the Rams are looking at lot like we did last year. Those two losses were against teams that appear to be on the same level as our team. The Broncos are not.

So, we should be 4-2 at worst, which makes it easier to get to 9-7 or 10-6.

This is the way I would see it:

1-3= not making the playoffs, season is completely toast
2-2=hanging in there with a shot to make the playoffs, long shot to doing anything even if we get there
3-1=Now this team is back on track and we have a chance to do some damage once we get there
4-0= this team is a legitimate SB contender and rolling

I enjoyed it. I also realize the season didn't end yesterday.

But as I said, let's put together a handbook here on how to be a proper fan. What day are you allowed to talk about future games after a win? Wednesday?

 

[BourbonBalz]

We need to go 3-1 or dare I say 4-0 if we're going to make a push for the playoffs. Splitting them keeps us at .500 and that's not going to get it. We've dug ourselves a hole and have to claw our way out.

 

[BourbonBalz]

Why would 5-5 be out of reach for the last wildcard with 10 games left? Please talk to me

So, we're playing 20 games this season???

When has the last wildcard ever been wrapped up before december?

You talk about future games immediately if the win is over a 0-6 team
