Thanks guys,
Even though we all know we shouldn't be 2-2 there is some beauty in this. Unlike last year this team is tuned in to where they stand in a way that brings more of the fighter out in them.
There is no "trap" game sitting out there for this team and until they can get a commanding lead in the North that won't be the case.
A good example is the Houston game Rios mentioned above. We BETTER be 3-2 going into that game. Houston should be 5-0 without much problem with the Jets. Getting to 4-2 is huge vs. going BACK to even at 3-3.
We need that game more then Houston does. Besides, they really haven't played anybody nearly as good as we are as long as we play up to our potential and playing to our potential has become crucial now.
I see the team's focus being better as a result of the 2-2 start and will serve the team well in the effort to improve and string some wins out. Last year we kept winning even though our defense was broke. I think it's harder to get that desire and focus on improving when your winning like that. We never got our backs up against the wall and the problems never got fixed.
So in many ways, especially with an improved D showing up, I like this teams chances better then last years.
As far as Indy goes it's the same thing. We don't have any extra bullets to just shoot up in the air. They have to be prepared to take them all down at this point.
