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.

    • It's funny how the teams with the great QBs stay at or near the top of the league every season.  Yes it is a team game, but the QB has the biggest impact in most NFL football games. 
    • Look, no one is ever a perfect player.  Since the QB handles the ball on 100% of plays offensively (unless there's a direct snap to a RB or something), I can absolutely see where they get an outsized blame and gain from what happens at any given snap of a football game.   Theoretically, there shouldn't even be a stat or idea to a 4th quarter comeback or game winning drive because you should already have done that during the game.  Losers!  Right?  Just because you win late doesn't take away the fact you tried to lose the game for your team! I'm not a fan of that opinion, but again, I'm just a moron with a keyboard.   Bryce has limited tools.  Bryce has not inspired the same level of confidence in us as Cam Newton did in year 3.  I certainly get that.  We traded a TON of assets to get Bryce, and we still suck.  (I mean, since we've lost games, we're losers right?) I completely understand that some fans are just unhappy with a limited QB and a team that isn't performing well, unless the other teams are worse losers than we are. I will say this:  Bryce will fight until the end.  Sure, he's has some real loser football.   But in close games, he's doing his best to comeback (even against a winner of prevent D). Now is it better or worse if your QB plays their best ball in the first half and sucks 2nd half so long as they finish with 300 yards, 3 TDs for your fantasy points? Who said stats are for winners anyway?  The Panthers and Bryce has a long way to go.  I'm enjoying the winning right now.  Though I do start each game thinking "how will we fug this up today?" Because it's been such a poo show in the Tepper era.  Will he prove to be a legit starting NFL QB?  Maybe not here as evidence by our record with QBs who were high draft picks.  
    • Ive never liked the term game winning drives because they include games where the QB was part of or was the reason the team was behind in the first place. Ive been arguing against this stat since the Delhomme years. It should only count when the QB is out of the equation of reasons why the team fell behind in the first place and is at least half the reason why he led the last drive to give them a lead. It shouldnt count if they just hand it off most of the time and the RB is on fire and they go down and score a TD or FG.
