We might be fortunate to make the playoffs as a wildcard, but this is NOT a playoff team.

They have proven that today.

Even if we lucked in, it is one and done.

We just are too disjointed on offense and too inept on defense to handle hardcore playoff level football.

In a way, despite the "success" of this year, we are exactly where we were all along.

Right at average and needing breaks to be more than that.
We beat them in Philly. Book it.

The truth is, sometimes your offense is gonna get punched in the mouth by an amped-up defense. We have a great OL, but they are getting beat today by a DL that is something less than great.

You have to have a D to keep you in a game where that happens. We don't.

Maybe our OL isn't great. Maybe it is just good and we are getting a strong dose of reality. We have had a bad OL for so long we thought we were back the Johnson era Cowboys. Sorry, this isn't that.

We are losing battles we shouldn't. A great OL doesn't do that.

Martin has played one of his worst games as a Pro.

I guess all that stuff about him being number one in the Pro Bowl balloting registered well with him.

I can buy that it's a little overhyped. We were used to an epically bad OL and so the contrast looked all-world.

This team basically had 2 days to prepare for this game and it looks like it.

Simple little dump off the Maclin for four yards.

It is the little things. We suck.

No, we'll be eliminated in week 17. It's what we do.
