It is, but we're talking about one of the absolute worst franchises in NFL history vs. one of the best. Our expectations are high, even after losing half the team to injuries.

Frankly, after what transpired yesterday it will almost be a miracle if we have enough in the tank to win out. Cassel can't have any 'off' games, and Seau and Colvin will need to step in almost without missing a beat--pretty tall order.

[quote=PatriotDynasty_12;1196769]Team came up big on 3rd downs all night. Hopefully a thing that will happen more frequently. Btw, I was really impressed with Seattle's 12th man. For a 2-11 team, thats a loud place.[/quote]

And, it wasn't a dome with piped in crowd noise.

and comes away with the takeaway!

It's not perfect, but they won. They ground it out and won on the heart of the players. In fact dare I say they overcame being out-schemed? This team makes the tournament, they can do something interesting.

Man, that felt good.

Yeah well apparently these are the only kind of threads that are allowed on this section.

Happy
Joy
All is Well
