Wasn't pretty until they needed it, but they found a way.

(10,951 posts)My biggest takeaway is that Russell Wilson needs to retire tonight. He is horrible.
True Dough
(25,100 posts)The Giants BADLY need a reliable back up QB, however. Jaxson Dart wound up with a concussion today. With his hard-nosed playing style, he's likely facing many more concussions (and sprains and broken bones) in his career.

(782 posts)He just flat-out plays better when the game is on the line. Unfortunately, they can't play this way and expect to win in any of the next four games.
Minnesota
Pittsburgh
Philadelphia
Green Bay
6-3 now, but who knows a month from now.

(2,893 posts)The rest might be in the air. They gave away the Minnesota game. Who knows with Pittsburgh and Green Bay?
But you still have Green Bay twice, Minnesota once, Detroit once.

(782 posts)Minnesota is certainly not a legitimate Super Bowl contender, but they're far from inferior. Pittsburgh and Green Bay both have strong defensive lines, and good defensive schemes. The Bears have to play better. They're 6-3 but that is a function of their schedule. They can hang their hat on the fact that they are winning games they've found a way to lose in the past, but they need to start playing well for 60 minute games in order to stand with better teams like the ones they'll face. In the seven games remaining, they are likely to be favored in only one: Cleveland.

(2,893 posts)I think Lions, Niners and Eagles are all losses. The Browns should be a win. The rest I think are up in the air.
