as awful as the first half was, the second half was that good. once Doug stopped trying to be cute with the playcalling and went to just running it down their throat s the offense couldn t be stopped. what a performance by the defense though, they looked dominant all night. with this game out of the way, I really don't see how they finish worse than 13-3. minny and new Orleans are playing good football as well, but I think Detroit beats minny on turkey day and rams beat new Orleans which combined with us playing Chicago should give us a 2 game lead in the conference. the defense really looks to be getting better each week despite the key injury to hicks. it's great to have the division all but wrapped up in week 10.
