63.2% chance of making the playoffs.

[CarolinaCoolin]

Last year we came back from terrible 0-2 start which gave us around an 11% chance of making the post season. We defied those odds and bullied our way into the postseason anyways. Out of the last 5 years we are the only team out of 60 playoff teams to make the post season after that start.

Jump ahead a year we sit at 2-0 atop the NFC south with a clear path to dominate. We defied odds last year but this year we aim to comply with the statistics.

Starting off strong has been a problem in the Rivera era but we seemed to have taken care of that problem in the 4th year.

Cheers to being in the drivers seat on the road to the playoffs.

Today was my turning point. I am not scared one bit of any team remaining on our schedule.. Saints are 0-2 and lost to the Browns, the Packers hardly beat the Jets at lambeu field, we wont lose to Seattle a 3rd time. This team only knows how to win, the only team I say is clearly better than us is Denver. Other than that, I think 10-6 is our floor

We have a pretty good shot. Although, I think Footballoutsiders had us at better than 50/50 odds to make the playoffs after starting 0-2. I wonder what they will have us at now that we are 2-0.

way too fuging early

According to the moist towlette at Hooter's, 58.3% of statistics are made up. Not hatin', just sayin'......

[Jackofalltrades]

Agree, look at where Detroit was at for Week 8 last season.

[Growl]

Keep pounding. Lots of work to do. Long way to go.

i get that's a standard response but somebody needs to say it. the postseason is ages away. ton of work to do. we've got a good team. but i want so much more than that.

[CarolinaCoolin]

way too fuging early

Of course it is. But 60+ percent is a very good thing.

[FearTheCats]

Take it one game at a time and we should be a playoff team. Obviously there is still a ton of work to do but I like where we are right now. Let's keep it going.

[OnlyPantherFaninMaine]

One. game. at. a. time.

 

Pittsburgh, you're next. 

[CarolinaCoolin]

Stating our playoff chances doesn't declare us a playoff team. I think some of you forget that.

Anyways good teams except to make the playoffs year after year. Some of you guys still don't realize we are different from the teams who don't win back to back. This is the first of many successful seasons.

Im in the same camp as you. I looked at our first 4 games and wasnt sure.

The way Pitt has looked on offense im not worried at all.

[PhillyB]

it's early, but hot damn it's good to know we have the talent to sustain and lost the penchant for slow starts at the same time.

 

we're officially a dangerous threat week in and week out, regardless of what month it is.

63 is okay for now but at the end of the year that means you are at best a bubble team that will miss the playoffs most likely.
