This team is really not very good. 5-2 is a mirage. They should be destroying this bad team at home, instead it is a real game that they have potential to lose.

I’ll take wins over 300 yard games anytime.

But, they are really good against offenses like the Jets, Giants, Bengals and a little bit the Dolphins. I’m thinking that Washington runs for 150 yards on them if they are smart.

Offensive weapons are for sure a need, but not 2nd and 3rd tier options and beyond that, this team is not prepared to make any significant run in the playoffs. They need another offseason and they certainly can’t afford to skimp on defense as we saw them exposed by a decent offense this week. Don’t get me wrong, the defense is pretty good, but nowhere near a dominant unit that can control games against a good offense - that much was evident based on what the Eagles and a bad Miami offense did to them - rush defense in particular, but the pass rush is nothing special, either. I would only advocate a trade at this point if it was to add a player who can be a contributor for 3+ years. Any trade of assets for a “rental” is a waste of assets as this team is a couple years away from serious contention.

You are right on, here.

This team is not really close to being a threat in the playoffs- if they even get there. Offense is a work-in-progress without enough weapons and a still-learning QB. On defense, I was afraid that they might not be as good as we’ve been believing as they’ve dominated bad opponents. Hopefully, today was an aberration, but if not the rest of the season could be very painful to watch.

Cody Ford was not playing well at T, but losing him hurts.

They miss Harrison Phillips- he was playing well before tearing his knee.

I’m afraid that we are finding out that this defense is waaay overrated. They have feasted on really bad opponents - Bengals, Dolphins, Jets. Could be a long homestretch of the season.

I think you are being generous assuming that they will make the playoffs

About time, but still in danger of a safety

How could they NOT have been prepared for that fake?

This team is horrible

Beginning of the slide to 7-9.

Defense really isn’t as good as advertised are they?

They should be booed. Lousy effort from a team that isn’t as good as their record.

Impressive, but bad

Agreed on the mental toughness. Defense was awesome again and the team is living a charmed life with opposing kickers melting down against them. Allen played well besides the one horrible throw. I think he made progress in decision making, except for the bad decision on that INT. Frank Gore and the patchwork OL, sealed the deal.

Ok Josh, you redeemed yourself last drive. Now, NO turnovers.

Game is gonna end 14-7

Game is slipping away and it is on Josh.

Pick aside, but his momentum killers are a weekly occurrence.

Can’t win this way. Allen hurts the team more than he helps.

It might be time to bench Allen, he is not learning at all.

Objectively, you can't expect to beat the Pats if you score 10 points. Offense and Special Teams failed to do enough to take advantage of a tremendous effort by the defense.
