@Cle, GB, Balty, @Miami

Can we even expect this team to maintain a .500 record?  After losing to KC and Oakland, is there any reason to expect another win this season?  Wow.  I guess you still have to like them against Cleveland.  Right?  right?  right?

And they're getting GB and Balty at home.  Oh yeah, they just lost to Oakland at home in a "must win" game.  What's the motivation now?  Is avoiding-further-humiliation the same carrot as making-the-playoffs?

That leaves the game at Miami?  Can you see Porter sacking Big Ben and running his mouth?  Geez.

Win. A. Game.

That's all we can hope for at this point. There's no guarantee we'll beat Cleveland. None. Brady Quinn had a big fourth quarter against SD. What kind of 4th quarter is he going to have against us?

Quinn >>> Anderson, which isn't saying much. But Quinn's shown enough to me that he is fully capable of shredding -- yes, shredding -- our pass defense.

My expectations have been revised. I just hope we finish 8-8.

Same here.  I can't bring myself to root for losses in the hopes of improving draft position.  It seems perverse and twisted.
