If you want to be a playoff team, you win this weekend

Everything in this league is geared towards the median, 8-8. Salary cap, scheduling, etc

It is the great teams that can pull out 2-4 games from the median to always be in the playoffs.

 

In this league you have games that you aren't favored to win (Tampa comes to mind)

Games that you are favored to win (NYJ as an example)

And Toss up games (Dallas) where it is 50/50

 

Sunday's game is one that "you're supposed to win", it is a lesser opponent on the road and this weekend will show how resilient this young group is, do they shake off a L and win a game they are supposed to win

Feels like a must win to me if we plan on sniffing the playoffs. Now the 5-0 in our next 5 crowd are off their f'ing rockers as well as the we'll be lucky to win 8 crew. 10 wins is a must to get there and we need this one bad at home to a (should be) inferior team. Keep winning those and I think we'll sneak in there.

Yeah, there's actually a lot of truth in saying week 5 separates the pack. We're a bit ahead of the curve, but if we don't pull out a win here, then we're going to have tough sledding ahead. Same goes for a lot of teams that are 3-1. And if you're 2-2 this is a make or break weekend.

1-3 teams, well, this weekend starts determining if your coach is on a hot seat or not. 0-4 teams it's deadman walking time if you can't make any progress (and yes, even for both of the teams with brand new head coaches.)

 

And Urban, I'd advise you to ride home with the team this weekend, even though it is a home game. You need chaperones and a curfew man, the ice gets mighty thin in Florida...

    • To me, this seems like they feel they aren't going to be competitive. I can't help but go back to Bryce. Good guy, but he doesn't inspire people to give it their all. He isn't a "leader" that people look to. There is no Smith, Delhomme, Kuechly, Cam, etc. coming in that door.  It has to be Bryce, but biologically speaking, how often is the shortest man in the room going to command the kind of respect that will drive people? It just isn't. That isn't how we are wired. That isn't how any living animal on Earth today is wired.  I just follow the science guys. 
    • Vick's issue with Reid was that he couldn't take a hit, and he wouldn't go down. Otherwise he was pretty good much of the time.  Mahomes has a system that works. Mahomes doesn't become Mahomes elsewhere because not everyone can extract 125% of the ability of a specific player like Reid can. Kevin O'Connell is beginning to look like he has that ability as well but I'll need to see how he does with his Redshirt Freshman.  I also wonder how much of their playoff issue last year was related to the offense as a whole and not just Darnold. Fans don't really dive into the "why" things happen, they just see the what and complain about it.
