Haslett's defense has given up a ton of points since the bye, except for the horrible Philly offense without Vick, and a Giants offense (with a inconsistent Eli) trying to play keep-away. For the season, practically everybody's been dropping 20-30 points on us easily.

We're still a bottom third defense, IMO.
I know...right?
Haslett's holding them back.....

I also need to eat some crow after calling out Royster who played the best game I have seen him play this year.

How good was our draft this year?
Huh?
Huh?
Huh?
well, if you count forbath, and chase minnifield (who we'll see next year), i'd say it's somewhere above "not awful".

Not if Dallas wins Week 16 & 17
If dallas loses today we are up a game. If we win next week we are still up a game no matter what dallas does. making week 17 pointless. Because even if they beat us we hold the tiebreaker.

If we beat them, well, there won't be a tie.

No 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.
You sure about common opponents?
Edit: damn thats close your rite though. Bengals.

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.Just in recent years the Patriots and Packers have won with just offense, even more dramatically than we have.
Not that I like that, I'd prefer being more balanced. Also, I agree that I'd take turnovers and a middle of the road defense, but currently we're middle of the road in turnovers (around 12th), and a high "bottom third" in overall defense.
