It's a low bar, but I sadly think we're going to lose out for the remainder of the season. If they win, somehow, they're going to last until the final game of the season and lose the division to ATL.

If they don't, then good for them but I really don't see any wins in there. I love my team, but I'm keeping expectations low.

So what your're saying is that there is little hope, this 2023 team sucks and Dennis Allen and his assistants are all but gone after the season

?

Everything except that last part.

I'll say the coaching sucks more than the team. I ranked this squad in the top third with respect to talent. They had every opportunity to at least stand out and be taken seriously by the rest of the league early in the season. Sadly, that ain't happening. (We knew the dirty South was bad going into the season, but DAYUM!!!)

As far as DA and his entourage being shown the door, that ain't happening either. Seeing Ma Benson give Slick Mick the game ball for win #200 showed me all I needed to see where this is heading. We have at LEAST one more year of this crap and there doesn't seem to be any motivation to change up the line up.

Don't look now, but with the Packers loss moving them to 6-7 the 2nd and 3rd place NFC South teams are in a tie for the final wild card spot as it stands. Only two non-division leaders have a record better than 6-7 in the NFC, the Eagles at 10-3 and the Vikings one game up on the others at 7-6. There is a very real chance for THREE NFC teams to make the playoffs with losing records.

Translation: There is a very real chance for us to extend poo on the menu for quite some time, and be happy about it. Watch!
