Getting back in the playoff race

ScottF · 10-27-2015, 09:03 PM

nine games remaining...We will definitely be favored in 6, def underdog at ATL, and question mark games will be home to Carolina and @ Wash: 2-3 points + or -

so... we'll be the better team in 7 of the 9 remaining games

well i might be dead wrong here.

Wild card is far as I would go. Defense has got to start showing up more often even for that to happen. We could have won 3 SB by now if we could just field an average defense.

No excuse not to beat 3 remaining AFC South opponents and the Lions (sorry SloMo).

That's 8 wins.

Then we really need 3 out of 4 against Redskins and our 3 NFC South rematches.

10 wins might not be enough this year for a wildcard so 11-5 is the mark.

No problem, as always,

... as of last week, Jim Caldwell was still talking about turning the season around and making the playoffs, so I was planning on meeting you guys in the wild card round anyway,

100% coaching and you might as well include the two boobs that hired Caldwell ... Mayhew & Lewan. The guy (Caldwell) was something like 26-68 as a HC at Wake Forest, how he even got into the NFL is beyond me, other than the fact with 32 rosters to fill, a few players/coaches are gonna' slip through the cracks.

His (Caldwell) winning record at Indianapolis was undeniably due to Peyton Manning. Went 2-14 without him. Supposed to be some sort of QB/Offensive guru and both areas have seriously declined since he's been H/C of the Lions.

The guy (Caldwell) is a fraud. He's the only Detroit H/C that I can ever remember being handed a team that was not a rebuilding project and could win out the gate, which he did, and then just like in Indianapolis, he's totally demotivated the players and shown he's not capable of leading a team.

He's lucky he's in Detroit, where they seem to accept losing at the organizational levels. He'd be a dead-coach-walking anywhere else, IMO.

At least Gym Shorts had some fire/personality to him. Caldwell's like a living Fathead wall graphic.

Sorry, I don't go any further than Tennessee. One game at a time.

For what it's worth, the Titans D is ranked 5th in the league. It's that offense though ...

One game at a time for who? Fans or players?
