I think winning the next two would be a springboard to winning five straight heading into the Seattle game.

I'll repeat my remaining opponent's schedule characterization

"Tough but winnable"

Cincinnati
San Diego
Seattle
Houston
Tennessee

"Likely but not promised wins"

Cleveland
Arizona  (Question:  Who is the better CB at this point, Ramsey or Peterson?)
Indy
San Francisco

I'm tempted to put Arizona in the top category due to Arians.  I think he is a very good coach-possibly the best coach on our schedule all year.

I'm not sold we could beat New England.  Brady rarely makes the killer bonehead throw that our defense has thrived on, and he gets rid of the ball quickly, so it would be hard to sack him even with the tight coverage our defense provides.  What's more, Gronk represents one of the few matchup problems our defense would face.  I think the Pats have also fixed many of the problems they had on the defense.

However, I think a matchup against Brees and the Saints would be interesting.
