If the Dline can stay healthy and generate just a bit of pressure and part of the team meeting focused on just doing your job and tackling better rather than worrying about forcing turnovers, they can improve enough that the offense can carry them. Right now, the 7th seed is the only thing anyone should be focusing on. Recent history says they can win PO games on the road, so just get it and take it from there.
I know 3rd down stops have been a problem this year, but what is making that problem bigger is not getting stops on 2nd down that make the 3rd down tougher. I lost count this year on how many times a 2nd and long (8-15yds) turned into a 3rd and 1 or 2. You make your job so much easier when you're not giving the other team manageable 3rd downs.
As a side note to the 'doing your job', the 4th and 16 against the Chiefs wouldn't have looked so bad on the rookie if Geno Stone had just stayed in his zone and not tried to jump a shorter route and get waaaay out of position, leaving Anthony out to dry.
