Well can 9-7 get us in...there's no way we beat NE...

I agree with all of this except the overachieving part. Hoyer has never had results and is just a coach's favorite type. Any coach or GM giving him a job should have one themselves.

Chuck, I am proud to say I was not bothered at any point today. They almost made me care again after last week, but not quite. This is a broken team, and rooting for them to win enough 9-7 games to get trounced in the playoffs is pointless. We are just pretending when we have Hoyer to Washington at key moments. I enjoyed the Katy-Manvel game at NRG far more then this one. It was nice seeing excellence on that field.

Good for you. You're ahead of me on that front. Although I did leave the house after the game and had a pleasant enough afternoon whereas in the past I would have stayed at home and tortured myself with the postgame show where crazed rednecks call in and complain about everything they can think of, not unlike me on this board.

And anyway at least Keith saw a spike in traffic today.

Glad to see you two realize that this is entertainment. If it gets to the point that it's not, find something else to do.

Personally, I would like to have the playoffs, even if we're a 9-7 team that will get schlacked. It's another game that matters to me. Most likely scenario now would be a Division title, which means a home game and even better entertainment. Good stuff as far as I'm concerned.

We should never be to the point to where we are counting on Hoyer to win a game. That ain't him. He's a game manager and needs support from his WR's to catch balls that hit their hands, and decent showings from the D and ST. Didn't get that from the D in the 1st half, didn't get it all from the ST. That equals an L.

Now, let's not get crazy here.

Yeah, me too. I'd much rather see my team in the playoffs than not in the playoffs. One more (two more? three more?) game(s) is bonus entertainment....
