Winning the East should be our goal, and taking 6 pts in the next 2 games should do it - I just cannot see RB beating both Philly and Columbus (4 or 3 pts most likely).... but even if RB wins out too, then the 2nd spot and a knock-out round bye is the definitive consolation goal.
Second Place can be locked up this weekend versus DC if We Win and Toronto Loses or Ties. Anything else and the final game of the season is in play (and it's in play for 1st place no matter what).
In some ways I hope we don't lock it up Sunday (e.g. we win and Toronto Wins) so that there's an urgency felt among the squad for the Columbus match and they don't lose even an ounce of focus knowing the immense ramification of the game's result. Granted, if RB happens to lose or tie Sunday, then a Win for us really puts us in the pole position.
2 More Wins..... that should be our Mantra for the next 9 days.....
