The season will end with a shrug and a head shake.

I share your pessimism based on what we’ve seen on the field and the snippets coming out of the locker room, however, this is the NFL and it’s a week to week league.  Players can in fact begin playing better.  Coaches can scheme better following a bad performance.  Streaks are not perpetual.  

In short, win and hang on to the division these last two weeks and all bets are off once the playoffs begin.

The O line likes your optimism.



I'm only half kidding. If the D can resurrect themselves and Press Taylor can draw up some plays to minimize the weakness up front, there's a chance we can win. I don't see how, though. Backfield penetration (that sounds naughty) is almost instantaneous, which means our run game is wrecked and all their D has to do is cover the checkdowns. Expect Carolina and Tennesse to duplicate what Baltimore did.
