Realoistically we are out of the playoffs. But the fans want a win every week. Still, it's possible to make the playoffs just highly unlikely.

Carolina looks like they might be for real.
Is it possible to go 5-0 without a single legitimate WR? Apparently so.

Right now we have a 1 in 8 chance of playoffs.

Like Danno said, we need 8 more wins to think about getting in, and that's not a lock - only about 70% at this point...

New Orleans Saints What If?

Let's get to .500 first and then we can worry about caring who wins and who loses besides us.

Highly doubtful on that playoffs thing. That said, why don't we just shut up about it until we can demonstrate that we can win more than one game in a row, and get to .500.

Who's up? Colts. Hangover, anyone?

Let's just see 2 good games in a row and we'll go from there......

the Panthers could lose their next 3 pretty easily so you never know, but the falcons schedule is not too difficult so we would still have to catch them

Exxcalibur · 10-19-2015, 05:09 PM

I was looking at the season and +.500 is definitely doable.

In short, we got this.

ScottF · 10-19-2015, 05:10 PM

Bad news- other than Carolina, the teams we lost to are 8-8. with Arizona also now going in the wrong direction after losing to a 3rd string QB

The good news is that other than the division leaders, everybody else sucks too

You can pencil the Falcons and Panthers in, leaving one spot. Technically we are a game and a half behind Minnesota, so I think 10 wins will be enough
We have 8 winnable games left... depends if Jekyll or Hyde shows up
