FACT: 1-3 Overall
FACT: 0-3 Road record
FACT: 1 game back in the NFC Turd Bowl South
FACT: 7 of next 12 games at home
FACT: Bye Week is after Sunday vs Tampa
FACT: 5 road games left in DET, CAR, PIT, CHI, and TB. Two of those are potentially bad weather games in PIT (NOV 30) & in CHI (DEC 15th)

There's a high probably we will NOT sweep at home this year considering the competition...to sweep GB, BAL, SF, CIN at home in that 5 game span is unlikely to put it kindly...we lose 2 of them. So, if we have a 6-2 home record with all division wins, there is an excellent chance of squeaking into that "impossible" playoff berth.

Now, does that road schedule really frighten anyone? We will not beat both TB and CAR on the road, but we will win one of those. We will not beat both PIT and CHI, but we will win one of those. That leaves the Detroit game. If we win that, guess what our road record will be? 3-5.

6-2 at home
3-5 on the road
4-2 in the division
9-7 and good enough to win this turd division.

OR...we just simply quit, end it at 1-15, and I'll break out the ol' Aints bag from its long retirement & fiddle as Rome burns.
Ok so we make the playoffs. Then what. All that gives us is an excruciating season to watch without the reward of a Super Bowl or good draft pick.
No way in hell this team wins a road game in the playoffs. If we had home field advantage with the team we have right now we would still be one and done.
