I am thankful for every win and wouldnt be as pissy if this was a fluke game and our outstanding players were playing at a high level other games, but the truth is we are not on the same tier as the Bills & Chiefs at this point in time, hopefully we keep getting better.

I feel your pain Casear. I'm still pissed from the Steelers loss. But the truth also is there's a lot of parity in the league now. How many teams were 2-2 couple weeks ago 15 ? Now there's like 10 that are 3-3 including the Buccaneers, Rams, Packers, and Ravens. Teams that everybody had killing everybody.

The Raiders and Boncos that were penciled in to be contenders are stinking up the joint. I don't feel as bad about where we are now as I did couple weeks ago. There's a lot of football left. And we seem to be getting better. There's a lot of truth in "it's not how you start, it's how you finish."

As far as Mixon goes I think he'll improve as well as the season goes on. At least get up to being decent (running) his pass blocking ummm ?
