I’ve been watching this team. I do know what can happen. If by some insane miracle we get to the NFC championship game against Philly in Philly, with the Bills having just won the AFC championship, and the refs basically doing what they do to us in big games, we are not in any universe in any way overcoming a series of ridiculous calls that WILL happen to so thoroughly dominate Jalen Hurts and Josh Allen that we win it all anyway. It is not possible. It is not a ticket. It is a delusion. Yeah the Giants won it all as scrappy wildcards buy they had a franchise QB, the most feared pass rusher in the game, a cold weather team that heated up in the winter grind, and refs who didnt hate them. We need to rebuild. We are last in our division. We have no wins against good teams. We are not contenders for the ultimate prize.

Then they went on to have great drafts in 2011 and 2012 and the salary cap space to keep their young core together and they won a Superbowl as a young primarily home grown team. All the Seahawks show is that any team can win a weak division but that is unlikely to result in a ring, what results in a ring is focusing more on the future when you are in a situation like that, as the Seahawks did, which got them their ring down the road, instead of trading the draft picks that became Richard Sherman and Russell Wilson to win it all that year as 7-9 division champs.

I would absolutely accept a role reversal of that playoff situation this season. Imagine the Saints winning the division at 8-9 and the Seahawks going to New Orleans for a playoff game. In the last play of the game Hill gets a handoff and trucks some players, leaps over another and gets the game winning TD.
Anything after that would be... how do you say it... Lagniappe.

Ok bako, but step back and look at what you just wrote. It seems like you are saying that the Bills will win the AFC and team x will play the Eagles in the NFC championship game and anything else is a Miracle. You could put Tampa, Niners, Packers, etc in place of the Saints in your post and it would be the same. There are many teams in both leagues that can stop the situation you proposed. Seems you are singling out the Saints and deciding the SB contenders after less than half the season. Again, i recognize it’s your right to your opinion and you may be correct. Seems like you want to be correct about it though bako.

Re: Everything Must Go?

Got to win to make the playoffs. Could they start winning, maybe?? Could they get on a roll, maybe?? Could they play fundamental football, maybe?? Coaching????? sub par. That's going to be the biggest downfall. Can't wait til the blame game starts.

Me too, but it's not going to happen. Allens in over his head.

Re: Everything Must Go?

I would have sent a 6th for James Robinson. Especially since DA and PC want to run the ball all game as it is.
