Coming into this weekend, we were one game behind Baltimore and Denver with two games to play. We don't hold any of the tiebreakers so we have to rely on one or both of them losing in the final two weeks and for us to win our games.
Even if we get everything we want this weekend, we still need for either the Ravens or Broncos to lose next week while we beat the Patriots. But even if we don't make the playoffs, if we beat the Patriots we will have our first winning season, close with a four-game winning streak and have found some playmakers for next year. We have to figure out how to be more consistent but we've got the personnel to be a winner if we can shore up the o-line and the secondary (and find a good second running back because you need one in the NFL).
