@SEA, DAL, TBB, @JAX, @CHI, ARI

2 - 4 over that stretch?

Excuses are already baked into the cake.

 

1st NFC loss was because of a couple of untimely turnovers, and a few bad bounces.

2nd NFC (and S) loss was just a fluke game where Cam was rusty, and we lost on the last play of the game because of execution.

This coaching staff ALWAYS has reasons (other than them) as to why we lose.

Teddy looked TERRIBLE Week 17 last season and looked TERRIBLE yesterday. They're in the same boat as us now where, as long as they keep getting putrid QB play from their guy, they can't pencil any game in as a win.

6 weeks feels optimistic too, the guy is 40 years old after all.

Looking at the schedule, I'm thinking 4-4 barring other injuries.  I think losses to Seattle, Dallas, and chicago with wins against tampa, jacksonville, and Arizona.  That said, I feel more comfortable with the games that I think they'll lose than the games I think they will win, so I think 4-4 is the most optimistic and probable, but 3-5 or 2-6 are also very possible.

There was that one time Rivera did say "maybe it's on us"

Looks like I have Brees the kiss of death by drafting him in fantasy football.

I should have done this every year.

They'll probably still win the division

At best... maybe 1-5 even. Can’t see them winning on the road against SEA, JAX OR CHI. DAL is a very likely loss as well. Tampa who knows and Arizona is better than their record but they’ll probably win at least one of those.

This is Huge

 

No doubt they will still most likely make the playoffs.  BUT, this will almost lock them from getting home field or bye in the playoffs.  Saints, on the road, and out side a dome in the playoffs have not been good
