I will never take for granted having meaningful games late in the season. I remember all too vividly having our season be over before Thanksgiving. We were just the door mat of the league etc... that is why when big games like yesterday come up I just fully expect to have my fan heart broken into a hundred pieces. That being said, saying this team is heading up is pretty delusional based on what I've seen this season. This is a team that gets to crucial moments in big games and just looks completely INEPT. Delay of games, penalties, questionable throws out of bounds (broken play?). It just isn't making any sense right now. Defense went into a complete coma after the bye week, and we looked like a team that didn't practice much. We had no urgency when we needed to score, and we had some real chances to win that game yesterday... but losers lose and I'm afraid we have all been duped again.
