Theismann made a great point during MNF.

A win against Chicago playing at home against rookie qb is weak. And don't get me started on the Tampa Game with that pee-wee league 41 yards passing. If the defense doesn't score in that game it's a loss. The bottom line is the defense has fallen apart this year and can no longer carry the offense. And personally I'm just tired of this out dated run first pound it down your throat approach when the line is not as good as advertised. If you ask me we need to start rebuilding in that area too. No young talent as back-ups.

Division wins aren't weak in my opinion. I don't care who Philly was playing in that last game, they were bound and determined to ruin our season and they nearly did.

Arizona and St. Louis were both road wins which aren't easy.

Like someone already said, we lost our fair share of games which we could have won. There's a very fine line between winning and losing. All you can do is play the next team on your schedule. I don't see the point in nitpicking each win. They won 5 straight to reach the playoffs when everyone had left them for dead at 5-6.

I don't see why we have to keep defending what happened last year. It was what it was, a 10 win playoff season. This year is a different team and a different season.

Why can't we just keep last year in our memory as a good memory rather than dragging it into the mess of this year?

well put, road victories are difficult. We made it look easy against some of those teams, especially saint louis cause we had such an effective run game, not all teams had that. The only real slip up was against the raiders, God I almost killed someone after seeing that game, but it was what we needed to go on that epic run. When we were on.......(running the ball down people's throats), there was no way to beat us cause we had the ball the entire game.

Agreed. Last year was brought up becasue some of those problems have are the same problems we are having now. A total lack of offense when it matters most.

Don't forget about our D which is scraping the bottom of the league rankings right about now.

IMO, Joe wore that single bar face-mask too long!
