The balance of our schedule

[malbis030347]

with the exception of the Raiders game every team we play until the very end will be in playoff mode so if we make it to the playoffs it probably would mean we beat teams that played us full throttle so the first playoff game we should be battle hardened
of course, I assume we will not beat the Saints and we could lose to the skins and Giants and eagles......... than in late Dec we will be talking about on this board about what OC is available or head coaches waiting in the wings.
I prefer the former scenario

If we get in this year, it means we played solid ball in December. That should make us a tough team no matter who we play.

If we bounce back this week and beat the "skins, we will be OK and I think 11 wins are doable.

If we lose to the 'skins, then who knows.
