4 of our next 5 games are away.

at Tampa_Bay
at Jacksonville
Chicago
at Detroit
at Arizona

At least the Chicago game is at home.

If we win the Tampa game I think the momentum will carry us.

These are all very winable,providing our QB dosn't throw any of these games away and we have the Williamson boys for them.Also the Giants game at home as they will probably sit their starters if they keep winning.

Need to win this week before we can look ahead to next week. Two weeks in Florida might do them some good. Allen is looking a little white and could use a tan

I think, realisticly, we will need to win at least 4 of these games to be in good shape for the playoffs.
In the past, a 9-7 record would almost guarantee a starting spot but not anymore.
I think we will need to step up our play if we want to start talking about any kind of playoff push.
All but one of our wins have come down to the last play.
We are playing great football but we just let the other team hang around with stupid plays (ints, punt returns, etc.)
Take last week's game, we completely outplayed them all game long and to have the win rest on a missed field goal is pretty sad.

If Gus protects the ball we win all of these.

Ahh but there is a difference. One is possible and the other will never happen.

Now is when we go on a road win streak. Sorta like what we did last year, only with a better ending.

I think we need to come out of these five game 3-2. Gets us to 8-6 with two winnable games left.
The Falcons and Giants in the Dome to end the season will not be easy, but both are winnable games ... and I will take my chances at home. The Giants will have little to play for by then, but even if they did, we would have a shot in the dome.
Bottom line is we come through these games 3-2 and get to 8-6 and I think we are at least a game up on Chicago with two to play.
If we can get through these games 4-1 (losing only to Arizona, Tampa or Jacksonville) then we are in GREAT shape at 9-5 and may even be battling for a bye.
