Must win Sunday? Not really.

However, this IS a statement game. Somewhere along the line we have to beat a good team.

We’ve lost to every team with a winning record except for the Chargers. We have 2 wins on last second fg’s. We beat the hapless Jets, Bears and at the time a depleted 49er and Rams team.

So how we can say we are for real? By beating a very good team.

A loss Sunday makes the dream of winning the division or making the playoffs a tougher road. The Seahawks have improved. The Rams are a better team than the one we played earlier. The 49ers are going to be a much healthier team than they are now.

A loss Sunday relegates us to JAT… Just Another Team. We need to prove we are players. It’s playoff time right now.

I don’t think we would be “for real” even if we win the division.

Only teams in the NFC that will be labeled that are Detroit & Philly.

Real meaning a Legitimate to contend for a playoff spot.
A loss throws us into the blender of JAT. With tie breakers against teams like the Packers, Washington and at the moment Seattle it almost makes it mandatory to win the division to make the playoffs.
