Need to go at least 6-5 the rest of the way to go 9-7 & possibly win NFCS, 3 gimme games left

[Sam Mills Fan]

This looks VERY doable. We have gimme games against the Saints on TNF, the Browns, and the Bucs. We'll be favored to beat the Falcons at least once and against the Vikings. That's 5 more wins. We'll just need to win 1 game where we're not favored and we go 9-7. With that 1 game advantage on the Saints and Falcons, I think we win the NFC South that way. Their defenses are abominations and Drew Brees is looking rough.

 

All aboard the 9-7 NFC South Champion Carolina Panthers bandwagon?

fug that 14-2

[Cary Kollins]

I'm not taking anything for granted after getting curb stomped two weeks in a row.

It would be great to get 2 winning season's in a row, for the first time in our franchise's history.

[ItsNotGonnaBeAlright]

Yeah, I don't care if it wins the division. I've said it all year: back to back winning seasons would show that the team is built to last. Gimme 9 wins and I'll be friggin' thrilled. Anything beyond that is just a bonus.

interesting math thread reveals never-before-seen extrapolations

[AviationMX]

Ironically, it's up to our defense to win tough games...good to see points on the board though.

 

If we can't hold better teams under 17 points in tough games, it will be hard to get to 8-8. But I think Riverboat will focus on better tackling....

3-0 on Fox, 0-2 on SNF/CBS, 8 more wins then!!!!!!!!!

[Redaes]

Would rather go 14-2 & have HFA. Or at least grab the #2 seed & a bye.

Dallas & Philly are gonna lose games. It's not out of reach.

In what world are the Saints and Browns game "gimme"?

I'm not saying we aren't the better team or anything.  And I was as excited as anyone after yesterday.  But this team still hasn't proven that any game on this schedule should be considered a "gimme" game, unless you simply mean a game we should win.  But New Orleans is still a division foe and they will play us tough and the Browns play 60 minutes of football as good as anyone.  Won't be easy at all.  Team will have to play their best ball.

There's no such thing as gimmee games. Especially with a team as inconsistent as this one. Pittsburgh was supposed to be a gimmee game.

Lmao at gimme games. Pittsburgh was a gimme game and we saw how that ended. Cleveland IS NOT a gimme game. They've been pretty decent this season

This.  I figured most people would realize that there's no such thing as a gimme game in the NFL.

Home teams have completely destroyed the road teams this year on TNF and I see NO way we lose to the Browns at home in December when it's playoff crunch time. Anything is possible, but I'd be shocked if we lost either game.
