Look at how many QB's got past the 4k  mark this season ..., not to mention TD's ... I'm not saying it wasn't impressive, however, if you look at it in context it suddenly doesn't seem that "spectacular" ... All season long the defense had been the Achilles heel of this team, and when the offense got shut down similar to what it did against the Giants, there wasn't much to do ... I don't buy the thing that it was because of the tragedy that this team lost ... - If anything I would say that it should have fired them up ... and dedicate the win to the memory of Philbins son ... (alas it wasn't so ...) The entire team looked as if they had spent their bye week doing everything else, but prepping for the game against the Giants ...</blockquote>
