DON'T GIVE UP NOW!

Ok it seems like everyone is talking like there is no hope but i disagree. 3 of the 4 losses we have had are against teams that will most likely make the playoffs. Tampa Bay the team that won't will still make a hell of a run anyway...it seems like they are just like us they get close game in and game out (besides the first week against the ravens) and lose at the very end...they could easily go on a huge winning streak. But back to my point we have a pretty easy schedule after the chargers game. We can win the game and if we do it will put a fire under our butts and get a good streak going into the ravens game. Also by the time we get to the colts they will probably have already clinched the afc south and wont be looking at that game as seriously as we will. our injuries will be at a minimal soon and our key players will be back before we know it we will get an easy run to the end of the season and into the post season.

On the ravens side they have a little harder road for the end of the season they are going into tennessee who just came off a bye and ready to keep their winning ways alive by beating their once savior steve mcnair then face the completely tough and unpredictible falcons. and then later on they play the steelers twice chalk up at least one loss there (yea the steelers arent playing the best ball right now but they arent the worst team in football then the chiefs which will be fighting hard for a playoff spot i can see the ravens easily losing 4 more games and us going 11 and 5 the season is 16 games for a reason...lets not give up now

The season isn't over... but we no longer control our own destiny. We are what our record says we are. We may have been screwed a couple of times... but we're 4-4. We are going to have to start playing lights out simply to have a chance to squeak into the playoffs.

I'm pretty disappointed in this last loss. We have shown that we can out-play our opponents and still lose. That has to change. I don't know what the reason for it is... but we've lost our margin of error. We need to win these games coming up, and we need help from other teams as well.

It's not a good thing. I haven't given up hope yet... but we won't got to the playoffs at 9-7... and it isn't looking like we'll do much better than 10-6. We look to be on the fence as an average team.
