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

Let's just take this one game at a time.  With the right game plan, I like our chances against everyone.

Too many are too fearful of the Saints. Have you guys actually seen them play this year? They're terrible, they should have lost to Tampa at HOME yesterday.

 

did we not almost lose to the bucs this year?

[Semaj]

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?

I had the same exact assessment as you earlier today. I agree on every point you said.

[Udogg]

Hahahahah.... Did we become so good that we have gimme games?   We are going to have to claw and fight our way through every single one.

way to jinx us OP.....thanks..

No such thing as gimme games with our schedule....

[ncsfinest]

We definitely have a problem playing afc north teams. That's all we lost to. Hopefully against the Bengals we change that. We just have to come out and match the intensity on offense cause we look flat against their defenses

10 Wins is the floor. Mark my words

I wouldn't sleep on Tampa. They have looked a lot better with Glennon back at QB.

Here is my conspiracy theory.. I think Rivera is playing chess not checkers. Im thinking they arent overly concerned winning against AFC teams as they are winning against NFC teams. No im not saying we dont try to win the AFC ones, im just saying that maybe we focus more on the NFC teams so incase we dont win the division we have both head to head tie breakers and conference record tie breakers with other potential wild card teams. We are 3-0 in the NFC now and 0-2 against AFC teams.

Not bad but I don't see Rivera as the type to overlook anyone, especially not the Ravens.

this board is so damn bi-polar.

this board is so damn bi-polar.

 

so fuging true.  there was a point in the game against the Bears where I actually wondered if we'd win another game this season.  then we won the game.  Better to just say nothing!

[catnip]

We need to win the division to make the playoffs. The NFC South is the weakest division and we won't get a wild card to make the playoffs.

The next three games are critical to stay on top.

A prime time game against the Saints is a gimmie?

We traditionally are our worst in prime time games....Saints are generally at there best
