...but I'm just thrilled we won in the end :) I'll take being 6-3 and tied for first right now, thanks very much. I'll take everything we can get, because I know we're not winning it all this year, and I want to enjoy the ride.

Now, we have indicators that we can be a great team in the future.

Kyler is a great QB--although he destroyed our momentum and helped lose us the game--before then miraculously winning the game. Regardless of the mistake, he is great.

Our offense is at times nigh unstoppable. It should only get better.

We flash individually on defense, too.

Our play calling can be lights out.

But, then, often KK can be our own worst enemy with his play calling. Drake ran well but tried to crush the game with his boneheaded, inexcusable mistakes. Though the defense kept us in this one--despite the final drive, they handed the game to the offense on a silver platter--Joseph is garbage and we can't play with consistency. We have no discipline and are far too highly penalized. The offensive line needs to learn how to pass protect, because they're ass at it. Lots of weaknesses, and we just aren't close to being a complete team.

So, we have greatness and the possibility of greatness on this team, but we are terrible as a TEAM at this point in time. Conclusion? Enjoy the ride for as long as it lasts, but don't expect a SB this season.

I’ll respectfully disagree.

we expect every drive to be picture perfect. I watched the Packers- Jags game and there were times Rodgers and the play calling was atrocious.
Wilson has been a turnover machine.

Good teams are resilient. How many times has Rodgers, Wilson, and Brees brought their team back from the dead?

We came back from 14 down to a 7-2 team. We overcame killer turnovers especially the flukey one by Fitz when we were about to go up 2 scores.

We have the number 1 ranked offense. We’ve scored 30pts in 5 straight games. We are in first place in mid November.

We know stink. We are experts in stink. This team is far from stink.

come on. Those guys don’t need the snark. If peeps want to bunch up right now, let ‘Em. I feel bad that they’re not floating like I am, but to each their own tonight!

This is my sense of humor.

oh terrible huh

crazy cause 2 years ago we had the worst record in the nfl set records for how bad we were on offense and got the 1st pick in the draft

now we’re 6-3 and are in first place in the best division in football, but yeah kinda the same

Kliff, Vance, and Kyler need to get better.
I thought Kyler played well until the 4th...and then he somehow fixed it with that last drive.

I really think he needs to be in a rhythm passing in the 4th. Cowboys, Seahawks, Dolphins and now this one...he's been off big time. Although not that many throws.

Might need to dare I say start throwing those horizontal passes to get some kind of rhythm.

The defense completely shut them down in the 2nd half until last drive. Our defense is really good in the 2nd half this year. The offense scored 32 which is amazing. We could have scored 47.
I definitely disagree we can’t win it all. We are better than the 2008 team. And we have play makers. Plus the NFC doesn’t have a dominate team.

I normally agree with you, but we aren't terrible.

We are a team with a lot of flaws, but find ways to stay competitive/winning. I will take that over 2 years ago for sure.

This team has the talent to beat anybody they face.... unfortunately their lack of discipline means they can also lose to anybody they face.

but IMO if they can be firing on all cylinders at the end of December we can make a serious run.... playoff games can be emotional and emotion favors a younger team so long as they have the leadership to stay steady in the crunch

The difference with this team ( first in offence in the NFL) is every single one mentioned has stated they know they have to get better...
This is unheard of ( you certainly didn't hear it with BA)

It's exactly why they WILL get even better..

We are doing this with smoke and mirrors on the defensive line. We lost another guy tonight! I think our DC is over achieving with what he is working with this year.

Offense needs to eliminate periods of penalties or poor play sequences. Clock mgmt is still a concern in tight games. Defense can’t sustain more injuries along the d-line. Seattle will want blood on Thursday, I hope we don’t come out still having dreams of today’s game.

The Bills are the best team we've played so far and we beat them. They blew the Seahawks out of the water. Even if we lost I wouldn't think we were terrible, the Bills had a great defensive gameplan.
I agree.... we need this Seahawks game to be a statement now
