Games this week should improve our draft status

This is all assuming we don't pull a miracle and upset KC. 

 

NYG vs WFT - If WGT wins this game that puts them tie with us on record.  I'll be pulling for WFT. 

Det vs Minn - Minn is starting to roll and will move even with us after this weekend.  Plus Stafford is out because of Covid

Hou vs Jax - Both only have one win so one will move closer.  Rather Houston win because Jax is going to be ahead of us anyhow. They look terrible Hou would only need one more to tie and two to go ahead of us.  

Den vs Atl - Denver is already even with us and play us later,  I'll be pulling for Atl to win so they'll be even with us. 

LAC vs LV - Would love to see Herbert and Co. beat Gruden would put them even with us. 

NE vs NYJ - NE will keep NYJ as the top pick and move into a tie with us. 

BTW Dallas has no change against the Steelers. 

I'm not sure of the tiebreaker but we should move up into the top 10 after this weekend.

Assuming all that happens the draft order is

1. Jets

2. Giants

3. Jaguars

4. Cowboys

5. Texans (Dolphins)

6. Bengals

7. Falcons

8. Panthers

Interesting.   We play many of those team that are even with us or will be after this weekend. 

I think our remaining schedule KC, TB,  GB, Minn (as long as Cook is playing) and N.O are losses. Det. Den and WFT are a toss up.  Den and WFT have good defenses.  TB isn't a fan of good defense.   IMO Detroit is our best bet for another win. 

THAN AGAIN.....ANY GIVEN SUNDAY

I can see these teams improving their record before it is all said and done. 

Bengals - who looked good last week against Tenn

Atlanta - If they stop giving games away

Dallas - Just because they play in a weak division

Texans - They should crack two or three more win.

Our games against MN and DET games will be huge for draft position. We really should win those games but if we continue our slump from these past 3 weeks, losses against those teams would go a long way towards us getting a high pick -- both because it's us adding losses against bad teams but also they're bad teams whose records will improve moving them behind us in the draft. 

 

I don't want to finish this season worse than the Falcons. Plus I highly doubt they go QB in this draft since they wouldn't get Lawrence or Fields who are likely the only ones who may be worth moving on from Ryan for, so if they're ahead of us it's another team that probably wouldn't be targeting Lance or Wilson.

Minnesota, if they are playing well, is a better team than us. They looked good beating GB. Cousins can also beat the Vikings by himself which is what was happening before last week.

I'm not so sure. Their D is an absolute mess, much moreso than ours this year. Cousins is comparable to Teddy and Cook basically carried them to the win against the Packers, plus it was a division game which can go either way. They're close to our level if not worse.

As I said before.  Any given Sunday but the Vikings look amazing against GB.  I think they are going to push for a wildcard team.  I know it's a long shot but that game surely put the fire in them. 

Cook was dominate.  When you have a RB like that.  The passing game gets better and they have some weapons in their WR Corps.

There was talk about this on NFL radio and the word is Stafford may play on Sunday against Vikes pending test results.

    • They're examples of denying reality. Here are some others: ,- Bryce is the worst QB in the NFL right now (no he isn't) - Bryce is the worst QB in NFL history (no he's not; that's stupid) - Well then Bryce is at least the the worst QB in the league over the last three years (nope, he's actually improved a lot since year one, which was a turbulent year anyway) - That's not true, he hasn't Improved one but since his rookie year (oh come on) 🙄 - Well, even if he did, we can't win with him (obviously we can) - Yeah but not unless everyone else is damn near perfect (think the game film from our wins this year would back that up?) - Even so, we won those games in spite of him (officially the stupidest argument available) And no, those are made up. You can find those quotes and other equally moronic statements in various threads around the board. I know some folks always need to characterize whatever they're against as the worst thing in existence. It's hyperbole, and it's hypersilly. Likewise, you've got some who are so absolutely emotional about it that even if you think Bryce isn't good enough (which I do) they'll still call you a stan if you don't agree to label him the lousiest passer in existence 🙄 It's just dumb, and it's not realistic. But on the flipside, here are some statements which are; - Bryce is indeed capable of both playing in, and winning, an NFL game. Not on a consistent level though, and consistency is huge. - He is also capable of completing mid-range and even some deep passes; hell, he threw a beauty this past Sunday  - Yes, he has improved over his rookie season and over last year. Arguing against that is disingenuous. - Believe it or not, other players are the roster do make mistakes in games also.  - And lastly, while I know it hurts some people's narrative and arguments, Bryce does indeed deserve credit for the winning games he's played in this season. ... Every single one of those statements is true. And since i acknowledge all that, I must be in favor of keeping him in place then Except I'm not 😕 ... Don't know of anyone who doesn't think he'll get the fifth year option. Not ready to guarantee anything beyond that, though. So bottom line: Yeah, Bryce is fully expected to be our quarterback through next year. If there were a logical, realistic path to acquire a more capable starter and transition Bryce to a backup I'd be elated, but that's a pipe dream. This where we're at  I don't **** it, you don't like it, others don't either. But here We are so let's make the best of it that we can.
    • What does it matter how fast the wrs are with Bryce he is not hitting them anyway
    • Let's be real. Signing Matt Kalil who was at the time inconsistent at best was always an extremely risky move and largely initiated by the fact he was related to one of our most prominent players Ryan Kalil. Memories get fuzzy the longer time passes I guess. Go watch some old Panthers games with Ted Ginn nearly losing us games. Then watch Cam Newton keep going back to him again and again and again. Then read all the Xavier Legette criticism while making excuses for Bryce being swept by rookie 2nd round pick Tyler Shough. Throwing TMac under the bus is just further proof how deranged the Bryce Young defense force has become. Bryce Young can barely compete in this gutter iteration of the NFC South. Let's see him take this WR core to the playoffs in an NFC South with Drew Brees and Matt Ryan
