Rice should be back on the field soon, too, but I still think they'd be better if they had Moss out there (though he probably would have caused the fumble that Camarillo did to save a TD and get the ball back). There were signs of life, but it still took an amazing comeback, and putting the game in the hands of Faevarervarvervarevarervarevar to beat AZ in OT...at home. And the defense FINALLY had a sack (6, to be certain). But again, it was AZ. They finally played the way they've been expected to all year at the end of regulation and in OT (three 3-and-out series to end the game).
The real key is if they will bve able to parlay this into a roll. The next 2 games are against the Bears and GB. They will truly be back in the thick of things if they win both of them. Lose one (or both), and they are DONE. A further gap in the division won't be good, and the Saints are seeming to turn it up, making the other wild card more difficult to get. There's hope right now, but not a lot (at least partially because Chilly is still the coach).

I SO wish I'd have seen that game.
They're talking Rice back this week. Hopefully very limited. That should stick a fork in the whole Moss saga. If they had a couple more wins under their belts, they become a super mega bonafide contender.
I'd hate to be in the "watching my team get one more loss and they're done" seat. They're just hitting their stride a couple games too late.
Regardless, there's probably gonna be a couple 8-8 wildcard teams. So there's that.
I'd expect more trouble out of the Bears than the Packers, really. I see the Vikes laying a world-class ass whooping on the Pack next week. 31-10 or so.
From everything I've read, it's gotten real chilly for Chilly. If the team knows he's not getting any love from the front office, they'll play for themselves and win despite him, if you get the kind of mindset change I'm thinking.
Harvin is gonna go monster the next couple games. Moreso in the Green Bay game.
