But, if we can beat the Giants, and if Dak and the 'Boys can take care of bidness in Pitt, we're 4-4-1 and alone in second place, just a half game behind Balt. Not too bad a spot with seven games to play.
A part of me says the exact same thing, but then the smart part of me says: "what makes you think this defense is suddenly going to remember how to play aggressive football?" They haven't changed a thing with their weak-ass scheme and they have been TORCHED by the likes of Simeon, Prescott, and Cousins. What do we think Manning would do against them?
Until I see a defense that looks more interested than I do when my wife has some "Real Sluts of Whatever City" on TV, then I don't see them catching anyone.
