I'm not saying it's realistic to think we'll make it. I personally declared the season over after last week. But it just so happens that we are still alive enough to have something to talk about.

Hypothetically speaking, if we were to make the playoffs, why do you say you've seen nothing to tell you we could win a game? We just won 41-0. We also beat the current top seed in the NFC, and if not for Drew gift wrapping the other game for Atlanta, we would have swept them. It's a Jekyll and Hyde team, but when we're on we can beat anyone.

Talk about anything you like... 20+ independent threads on the same topic with the same scenarios ......

I say that because 41-0 against Tampa bay is not consistently playing playoff worthy football on all 3 sides of the ball. Some teams do peak later in the end of the season... We are 1-3 for weeks 11-15. That is not playoff worthy football.

How many games this season have the offense, defense, and special teams all shown up to play in the same game? 1 at best.

Beating Tampa Bay 41-0 when they have the worst pass defense in the league scoring only 1 rushing TD doesnt tell me we can gointo a game against any of the projected playoff teams and be confident of a win... or confident all three sides of the ball will show up. We are not playing playoff foot ball now, nor have we all season.

Then there are those people who ADAMANTLY declare the season over, then come in the following week and declare we are still in. Which statement is true?
