yesterdays win makes me feel a little better,  but I will be honest,  I am still seeing some of the same things that give me pause for some of our upcoming tilts.  Kirks brain farts and questionable comfort is still evident.  Play calling is still questionable,  the kicking came ( more so the extra points not as much the missing from 55+) if anything the trying from 55+ knowing that he is not getting under the ball for shit from distance right now.  I think they need to roll out a 10' tall picket fence and make him kick over it in practice,  he is just not getting down enough on the kicks he has to drive.  anyway,  the D is starting to show some swagger and it will be needed as we go on the road the next 2 weeks,  our O should be ok in DC,  but they are going to be in a very hostile environment in 2 weeks and we are going to need the D to really step up huge if we have any hopes of a good showing, otherwise I expect another lopsided loss there like the philly game was.

buffalo isnt going to go 16/1...

My hope is we give Buffalo one hell of a game and beat Wash & Dallas NFC teams.

my hope is we win all our remaining games and go 16-1... but in reality I still see a lot of things that could prevent that and things that an opposing team could/should attach when game planning for this team.   I do think that the buffalo game I would feature Alexander Mattison,  yesterday it seemed like the battering ram approach worked better for GBay and I think Mattison shows a much more power run style that will make the defense a little less wanting to stick their heads in the play.
