    If this team has any hopes of being a contender to win the division it's of course a "must win". All home games V. a division rival are a "must win".

    Just to make the playoffs it's pretty much a "must win" too.
    You have to take advantage of your home games especially against Division and Conference opponents.

    I never said "gimme". I said passes that hit Dolphin players in the hands. Jason Allen had two passes hit his hands one was on a dive and the other went through his hands and hit him in the face mask. The one that hit Lankford was so lightly tossed that he had time to try and catch it. It wasn't one of those random batted balls that the D-lineman is surprised by. If you throw three passes that hit the defender's hands in any game, odds are that they'll catch one or two. Sanches got lucky that the Dolphin players did so poorly. If he plays like that often he'll hurt his team. That won't be equivalent to a 5 INT game, but two INT games are bad enough to cause a loss against any NFL team.

    I'm not going to argue with you. I'll agree to disagree that Sanchez got lucky.

    It depends on if you mean he got lucky the entire game or during certain parts. He threw a pass to one of our defensive linemen at a crucial point in the ball game. The lineman dropped it. That was lucky. Sanchez is a goat if he hangs on to that ball and runs it in. On that play he was lucky. That is indisputable. I can't fathom how that isn't luck. He literally threw the ball right to one of our players. It doesn't take away from some of the big plays he made. But only b/c the lineman dropped it.

    As for the Pats it's obviously a must win. That isn't even a question. The division battle is uphill if they don't pull it off.

    Don't sleep on the Bears. You speak of what if's but they don't really count. Bottom line is the beat the best team in their division.

    Don't know what else to say except they have done a good job getting the ball to that TE. Olsen is a guy that only Angelo and I believed would be on that football team.
