Lady luck is part of the equation....

[Jeremy Igo]

I know many are not exactly enthusiastic about the ugly win yesterday. 

 

But I am. Lady luck is every bit a part of the playoff equation as anything else. All teams have poo games from time to time, it is the teams that lady luck favors that tend to make the playoffs. 

 

I would not want it every week, but an ugly win from time to time tells me this could be the season for us.

-Exactly, 2015 we found many ways to win.  Lucky being one of them.  As good as Norman was, I remember sure TD drops several times against him that year.  Its a long season, I will take a win any way possible.

When we play this poorly and are still able to win I’m a very happy man. I’m sure this’ll be a reality check for the team and they’ll come out guns ablazing and ready in NO. And the calendar will read December.... Rivera’s teams are the best in December. Aints and Viqueens going down

I don't know why, but there seems to be a lot more casual fans on the huddle this year than in the past. And I say that because the lot of the topics that are being discussed are of more the Casual fans opinion rather than those of the experienced NFL fan.

This is a perfect example. No team makes a championship run without the ball bouncing their way and a few ugly wins. In the end no one cares about how you won.

Ugly wins are wins.  No team just rolls people every week.  Even the Patriots in seasons they have been dominant squeak by.  That is what good teams do.  Find ways to win ugly when they aren’t on fire.  Everyone gets cold in football

We had some ugly ass wins in 2015 as well.

What part seemed lucky our dominanting D line making a play like Horton has done early in the year Luke who always around the ball picks it up runs it in. Or our big time punt returner if you check his history takes a sixty yard punt back nothing seemed like luck about either. Good execution good players making a play this is what we should expect a little more he's been on the brink of breaking a punt every game it seems. He's hitting reverses for a easy 30 yards the boy's got juice but nothing about yesterday said LUCK no tipped pass falls into Lucks hands while not looking thenhe dashes off to the end zone. We were better in two phases of a three phase sport which paid off in two TD's nothing lucky about that.

Lol, Igo started this thread...

I don't think forcing fumbles and returning punts is luck.

Luck is one thing, but the Jets essentially gift wrapped this for the Panthers with 3 botched play calls for 4th and goal, ridiculously wide open drops (including one for a TD) and next level stupid roughing-the-passer penalty to ice any chance of a comeback.

We don't have the power running attack to protect the offense from Cam's lapse in consistent production.  This looks like a one-and-done team for the playoffs unless they catch Cam at the perfect time for a streak of great play.  He lays an egg next week against NO, this place will implode (and rightfully so).
