Let’s face it - no playoffs this year

We are two games behind the last wildcard spot and even then lose all the tiebreakers. We pretty much have to go 5-2 to have a chance and I just don’t see that happening.  Seattle and Minnesota are both looking really strong

The only way they make the playoffs is splitting against the Saints and winning their remaining games. Yesterday they had a chance to control their destiny. The Falcons beat the Saints, if we had beat GB there was a path for winning the division. Now we have to hope other teams make mistakes to sneak in. 

What I really want to know is whether Ron will get fired if the team finishes 9-7 and misses out on the playoffs. Is it a winning record or playoff birth that will keep his job?

I'd agree, though I acknowledge that "last minute" could come sooner this season than it has in prior years.

I'm looking at Dallas and Philly. That division itself is a poo show, the cowboys and the eagles are sporadic AF. One of them will make the playoffs by winning the division but the other will not make it. All we have to take care of is winning. That's it. Just win. It's that simple. I know that the Saints have a two game lead but they just lost to ATL. We'd be one game away if we'd beat GB. Take care of our business and see what happens. I don't expect them to run the table but if they want to make the playoffs, winning 6 more games is where you'd have to shoot for. If you can, screw it win all of them. If they lose to ATL next week, it's over. Done. Finito. At that point, put WIll Grier in and get some experience for the kid.

We’re probably not making it but New Orleans showed Sunday that they aren’t bullet proof.
 

beat Atlanta Sunday and then go down to New Orleans with a chance to be one game back. 
 

no 12-4 team has ever missed the playoffs and only Two 11-5 teams have missed.  10-6 leaves is out with our conference record and literally losing every tie breaker.   I have little faith that we can win out but may as well hold out hope. The off-season is on the horizon and I’d rather enjoy the next few weeks of meaningful football for as long as we can.

In my opinion. If that scenario happens. I'd look at the whole body of work. That includes the handling of Newton. He didn't handle that right in my opinion. Tepper should see that, at least I think he should. It really irks me that he'd take extra precaution with CMC but when he SAW Cam Hobbling around the Rams game he didn't take the same measures there. To me that's BS and that alone should get you fired regardless of record.

We'd still have to leapfrog Seattle, Minnesota and the Rams though.

And to be honest, I'm not terribly confident that we take care of our end of the deal.

I think Ron has an excuse built in with the Cam injury fiasco. Ron’s issue is the defense. If he can’t fix this over the last seven games, he’s done.  You can’t keep a defensive head coach around that has had a broken defense two straight years.
