Playoffs?

[sonnyboy]

By the way, the Saints average 38 points at home, and we barely score 22 points on the road. And they have not locked up home field advantage, so they still have something to play for . . . . .

We're not beating the Saints.

Probably not. But if history has told us one thing about the NFL, it's that going undefeated is very very very hard.
How many times have we seen teams get off to an 8-0, 10-0, 12-0 start only to get upset in the final month.

You hit the final quarter undefeated and that pressure mounts big time. How many no nos get broken up in the ninth?

Not saying it's going to happen, but we are perfectly positions to see it happen this Saturday.
1) We are a good team playing with desperation.
2) We have as good a defense as they've faced all year.
3) We have a QB capable of exploding (in a good way) to keep up with their scoring.

Really. What is the Giants record? 7-6. And they are 1-6 in their last seven. Yet you think 2-1 is more likely than 1-2. With two of those games on the road.

If I recall the eagles had won their previous 2 prior to our last game and we're coming off a blow out of the Giants.
They were a 3 point favorite against us and to hear people speak of the match-up prior to, you'd think we were a 14 point dog

I can assure you of one thing. If our last game with them is for the division, they will not be a 3 or more point favorite against us.

Yep. Because they are playing better, more intense football. We are not.

And who cares about the odds? Philly is playing better than us right now. The Gints are playing better than we are (and I hate saying that). And we can not turn it on and off like a light switch. We don't have the talent to do that. See last year when we got blown out by the Eagles at the end of the year.

Like I said, the games have to be played. But realistically, if this team loses Saturday then I don't see us gaining enough momentum to win the next two straight to make the playoffs. This team does not have the makeup, the 'ganas', the intensity.

Its not that we are turning it off and on. ITs the fact that we can't stop shooting ourselves in the foot.

Dallas has beat Dallas 4 times this year.

Yea, I was trying to describe this team and that sums it up perfectly.

I agree some what. I do think SD out of all the loses we had just out played us. No doubt there were something we could do better but even when we had tight coverage on them their guys went up and made the plays. If I had no horse in that race I would say that was a good game to watch, being a Cowboy fan I'm disappointed that we came up short.

Philly is not playing any better than they were when we beat them!

They could very easily lose to Denver.

The division is still up for grabs at 10 wins guys.

I don't expect them to beat the Saints but even if they don't they still have a chance for the division.
