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.

      The Cavalry is Coming

      By Seltzer · Posted

      I'm super excited about the guys we're getting back, and fortunately this year, outside of Robert Hunt, we haven't had any season-threatening injuries. Rico has earned the start, but I am excited to have both available.  The team is finally turning into the run-first team Canales said he wanted to be. As for JT Sanders, I think he has lost the most be being out. He is probably our best receiving TE, but with the emergence of Mitchell Evans & with him and Tommy Tremble both absolutely balling in run blocking, it will be hard to fix something that isn't broken. I'm hoping Turk Wharton can help with our pass rush. We really havent gotten to see him much due to injuries, but we desperately need anyone to provide some pass rush juice, which is what he was brought to do. I'm the most excited about Jalen Coker returning. Theilen may have been the most clutch last year, but I've watched a lot of film, and Coker was the most consistent WR we had when he was out there last year.  I think he can be an ideal #2 to Tmac. While Coker doesn't have the raw athleticism XL does, his route running, savvy, and overall football IQ simply make him better.  I think with the fact Coker can play both outside and in the slot will give our pass game more versatility.  We have been running a lot of 2 TE sets, and I think Tmac & Coker should be the primary WRs for 12 personnel. The other WRs (XL, Tremayne, Renfrow, & Horn) all have roles, but I dont think any of them can fully replace what Coker can do. I do think Renfrow will be inactive this week if everyone is healthy bc of how valuable Tremayne is for ST and as a run blocker. So happy that we are playing meaningful football heading into November. We are still almost certainly a year away, but we are absolutely moving in the right direction
