Given that two weeks from the end of the season 8th spot is still technically feasible, and there were a number of games he wasn't in that the team almost won, it is probably a fair proposition.
However, while Foran is the best player in the squad, it is a team game, and something crucial has changed since the first half of the season, something far more important than whether or not Foran is on the field. Fans of other teams have been saying since the game against the Bunnies that they wish their team had half the spirit of the Dogs. It took half a season to begin to develop, and Foran is undoubtedly part of it, but the spirit of the team right now is the deciding factor in our four straight wins, not Foran.
