Our defense has been much better since the bye, even before the bye you could see the play was becoming better. there is a massive difference between 20-30 points, you know that right?I'm just saying, you could book our D to give up 20-30 points on any given Sunday. We're not going to shut down anybody, outside of a hot stinky mess of an offense like Philly's a couple weeks ago.
We're on this playoff run because of our offense, not our defense. Would be nice to be great on both sides of the ball, but I don't think that's the case here.

Yes if we win next week it means we will be tied and we own the tie breakerNo one can own a tiebreaker before a season is over. We still play them to determine who would win the tiebreaker.
Next week would be our fourth division win, but Dallas already has three. If they were to beat us, they would have four.
They would win the tiebreaker on common opponents.

It's division wins then conference wins, then common opponents

It's division wins then conference wins, then common opponentsIt's not actually, but it even if it was, it wouldn't matter. Conference wins would be equal if Dallas wins their last two NFC games and we go 1-1. Both teams would be 7-5.
The bottom line remains: if Dallas loses this week, and next week, and New York loses next week, we can clinch. But that's pretty far fetched In every other scenario, we have to beat Dallas to finish ahead of them.

Cleve had been playing well so to win on the road with a rookie qb making his first start is simply outstanding. But to put up 38 points? Gotta credit these coaches. Kyle called his best game as a skin. Cousins looked like a stud and he will be a starter in the NFL.

Yeah I agree our offense is carrying the D, but the play on defense side of the ball has been better since the beginning of the year. Haslett been scheming well and his halftime adjustments have been on point. He was dealt a bad hand with that secondary and 2 very important pass rushers. Ive been surprised.

We're on this run because were playing well on offense, defense, and special teams. Just think of what today would be like without the turnovers?
No team that wins 5 in a row wins them because of one side of the ball. The defense compliments our offense being that they are really opportunistic.
