Just got back from vacation last night and see there's nothing but doom and gloom here.
Why?
We will likely finish with a 12 win season. Everyone in here would have taken that in July...and CERTAINLY in Sept when Dak got hurt.
Everyone in here has been wringing their hands hoping we could find a way to beat Philly next week....and now it appears they're going to take their foot off the gas against us and rest some of their players, so I can't imagine we will find a way to lose to Gardner Minshew (could we?) and whatever other backups they throw out there. Good for us... though only flipside is we can't really take any pride in the win (just like we all discounted their win against us with Cooper Rush...though in hindsight Dak likely wouldn't have been any better, and may have been worse).
Everyone in here is saying we will be one and done in the playoffs.... and that if Jax can beat us, and that the only way we escaped a loss to the Texans was them intentionally losing, and that the chances of us beating Brady in the playoffs is EXTREMELY low.... and yeah, I kinda agree with all that....but personally I'd rather just enjoy playing in the wildcard for what it is: one extra week of football that a lot of teams would be happy for, and then after we're out, we can finally just let this season go and enjoy the rest of the playoffs, and looking forward to a fresh start in September!
Happy Holidays everyone!
