With two guaranteed losses to New Orleans the best we can do is 10-6

And that's if we beat the Seahawks next week and win the other two road games plus beat the Falcons at home.  Yeah, I'm not liking those odds.  Today's loss was just mind-numbingly stupid and is the type that gets entire staffs poo canned at the end of the year.  Detroit had literally one offensive weapon in the second half and we still couldn't figure out a way to stop them.    

Blow up the defense, get at least two new offensive linemen, get a new coaching staff (or at least a competent defensive coordinator, Washington should have never been allowed back after Pittsburgh) and try again next year.

No “guarantees” in the NFL. Pretty sure a W was a guarantee today. We could go 12-4 as easily as we could go 6-10. This team is inconsistent. 

They are consistently bad on the road and consistently bad at getting any pressure on the quarterback.  That means we are getting dick slapped by the saints and probably not winning both of the other two road games.

Key word here is “probably.” Not definitely.

Probably can get to 9-7.  I think we will beat either Seattle or Cleveland also.  New Orleans could be resting players the last game also. 

Maybe, but could also easily lose to Atl or @TB.  Either way, I figure we are 6-6 when throwing in the NO games...see 2-2 in the rest.  It just sucks because I this game should have been an easy one

    • The last child @ home has told me he wants to go to a game, so we're seeing vs Rams on the 30th
    • Did we really shut them down though? They had 369 yards of offense.   That is 9 more yards than they average per game and 53 more than we give up per game this year.   If a team gave up 369 yards per game on defense, they'd be the 7th worst defense in the league this year. Yes, I will give our defense credit for having the 4th down stand near our goal line as well as creating the fumble that stopped their first drive, as they did rise to the occasion then, but even the INT was just a ridiculous play/throw and handed it to us and they also missed a FG. We didn't force them into a single punt all game.  We had 1 sack on a QB who had 37 pass attempts. They had drives of 56, 49, 50, 43, 58, and 71 yards (while we only had 2 over 40 yards ourselves). We bent, a lot, but never really broke, partially due to the Packers own mistakes, that's a far cry from "shutting them down" in my opinion.  Again, this is why I'm critical of us after a day like today, I'm able to look beyond a final score and evaluate how we played on the whole, and we keep squeaking out these wins despite not playing well at all.  And yes, that is what great teams do, but they also play well in the majority of their games, where as all we seem to do is squeak out ugly wins without ever playing all that well. I'm not saying I'm unhappy that we won, I've never once said anything like that, but when week after week I see serious concerns with how we played, then I'm going to call out what I see.
