For a while last year, I thought Goodall would ban us from the playoffs due to Spygate.

I'm beginning to think that this is not our year and we would be better served missing the playoffs and restarting in 2009 healthy.

I kinda like ending the season on a 4 game winning streak.

Just want to reply. If my post was so obvious, I'm not sure why there were so many posts that our playoff chances were done after Cowboys lost to Baltimore, or even the week before. While the Cowboys loss hurt is, it did show that just because the team had to simply win three games to guarantee a playoff spot, it didn't mean they would actually come out like the want to make the playoffs. People were starting to assume that teams like the Cowboys and Jets would actually show up to each of their games just because they could "easily" get to the playoffs by winning their last games.

And of course, the Jets proved it again today.

The chances of the Hawks beating the Jets is about the same as Detroit winning a game this season - not very likely.

I guess one of us is...

But I compliment you, that at least in that second post you didn't insult the poster.

Including this one.

That's what makes it exciting.

Did you really just post that? When you had posted something similar just days ago, I don't see why you should be complaining...

At least my post was more interesting and more optimistic than yours. Yours is the one you should be complaining more about.

Yes, the original post was completely obvious and had almost no substance to it. But a few days ago the same poster posted the "Matt vs Matt: which Matt will have a better game?" thread. So unbelievably this thread may represent progress for him.

I don't think this post got enough love. Well done sir

I don't think you understood my post at all.
