I hate to look ahead, but if we can pull a W out in London, we go into the bye at 5-2. If we beat the hapless Giants, that puts us at 6-2 heading into the second half of the year. That would be amazing. We'd be in great position to make the playoffs. I know that's a ways away, but this might finally be the year that we snap all of those awful streaks (no winning seasons since 2003, no playoffs since 2004, and no .500 record since 2006)!!!!!!!!
I think this stretch is the toughest of our schedule especially when you consider the intra-season dynamics.
We faced a Seattle team that has among the best defenses in the NFL, Jax who was coming off of a shellacking of Pittsburgh and another of the best defenses in the NFL and now AZ that looks like world beaters with an Offense that looks like it could rival Pittsburgh's when it's firing on all cylinders.
If we come out of that 2-1, we'll look good.
I really don't care about sexy wins (and that Brady jersey is gonna burn my skin like acid, but if it means we end up 11-5, I'll totally take one for the team!).
The MOST impressive thing about this team only a few months from Fisher's departure is that they keep the faith and keep finding ways to win.
We all know that "finding ways to win" and "being healthy" are two of the most important things a team needs to be successful... WAAAY more important than winning the draft or having star players.
