I get it now, Dude. You want it both ways: Right in your diagnosis if we lose.... barely satisfied, if we win ( but nothing short of a blowout has you feeling comfortable ).

Well, welcome to parity in the NFL and good luck with your strategy.

12-4 more likely than 9-7. Don't see 13-3.

Need a home playoff game.

Tampa and the Rams not so much but we have a bad track record with them and Tampa is going to play just like every other division rival will.

There's a difference between "could lose out" (just about any team can lose 4 in a row) and "could easily lose out"

Everyone here knows we could lose any game on our schedule. To lose our last 4, or last 5 in a row is not something we could "easily" do.

I suspect we'll go 2-2 at worst, and end up 11-5, maybe 12-4.

Looking at the scheduling left for both us and Carolina, if we don't end up 13-3 or at least sweep Carolina we will be the 5th or even 6th seed.

So I am crazy huh? What if I told you crazy was working fifty hours a week in some office for fifty years at the end of which they tell you to piss off; ending up in some retirement village hoping to die before suffering the indignity of trying to make it to the toilet on time? Wouldn't you consider that to be crazy?

Duder.... Brother man.... Hoss.... T-Boy..... Cat....

Had you posted that Drew broke his leg, Sean Payton retired, Jimmy Graham went to the Spurs... Pick any scenario where this team has suffered a debilitating loss of personnel or management. And there would be a reason to consider the plausibility of losing out.

But if you think I'm buying into any theory that the last 4 games are against teams that are better than we are on both sides of the ball AND coaches you are mistaken.

No way we lose out. At worse we pick up the rest of the home games; this gets us to 11-5 and the #5 seed. That's the worst case scenario, however I can easily see us at 12-4 with the #2 seed.

That being said I understand your line of thinking. We looked so bad last night I had flash backs of Brooks and Jim doing everything they could to lose games for us. This was easily the worst I have seen us play since 2001 week 17.

If we finish 12-4 we get the 2nd seed.

We're going to split with Carolina and win the rest. Because I said so.
