I say next week shows the team and the fans where we are in terms of how we'll look in the playoffs.
This loss vs. Arizona pissed Harbaugh and the rest of the team off. If we respond, we'll f**k them up, if we lay an egg, expect our team to look the same in the playoffs.
Next week will tell a lot. Maybe the most of the season. A good team and a must win for both teams. Trying to rebound from the Cardinals and playing at home.
exactly. We can't lose that #2 seed, but if we keep playing like we did on Sunday then we don't even deserve a bye and won't get it. We could still finish 4th and have to go to Lambeau in the 2nd round(pending we win in the wildcard round).
The final stretch is upon us, no time for f**king around anymore or we'll all be hanging out in the Draft Forum in the next 4-5 weeks waiting for April to get here.
We don't have margin for error now. Just think we were 9 - 1 not long ago....
We just need to play well and win this game and I'll feel more at ease.
The Ravens game was a shot in the foot because because we traveled east on a very short week, the Cards game was similar to the Dallas game, we played the overall better game, but let both teams hang around until the end and it burned us both times. It was disgusting how bad we beat Arizona and still lost the friggin game.
The Steelers haven't exactly been a powerhouse against teams this year either and are pretty banged up going into next week. This game is very winnable and I 100 percent think we'll beat them.
