sad statement because this is so winnable. it was there for the taking, they were playing great. and something happened, minnesota definitely played better, stronger defense in the second half. >> i love your point about rg iii. this has been his sharpest point of the year in the pocket, doing great things. >> exactly. he looked great and looked like the rg iii you want him to be. pierre garcon in the running game, and to have that nice balance with morris and the passing game. >> if they lose this game -- you don't want to get into hievl hypotheticals, but i guess you have to. but this almost signals a death nail for the season. >> it does, only because the nfc east is so bad would it not be that case, but, i mean, what a disappointment if they lose, if
