No Killer Instinct

This team has been something, hasn’t it? They are out, and then they somehow pull us back in with improbable play like last week. They are coming on at the right time, and they only play two teams with winning records the rest of the way. They are Seattle and Dallas, but still, it’s only two games, right?

Like James on the previous slide, I am not so sure they can run the table in the other four games. Even over the past two weeks, they haven’t proven to me that they have that killer instinct. They aren’t good enough to run off that type of streak, and I too see them at 8-8.
