I see 3 realistic shots at wins left on our schedule.  That would put them at 8 wins which is where I thought they would be when it's all said and done.  Never considered them a playoff team from the start and Cam won't change that.  Even as good as he's playing right now it will only keep us from getting blown out. You cannot expect him to carry this team.

Need to at least spit with TB and have a couple "upsets" too. Too late to start the season over and get that 7-1 start..... 

Panthers need all the other wild card to either beat each other or out right lose. 

Washington in beating TB and Carolina looking down right scary if they make it in as well.

We are 5-6, we realistically need to be 9-8 to have a shot at a wildcard. Do you think with out remaining schedule we can do it? We would have to sweep NO and beat the Bucs at least one.

I think with the explosiveness we saw from Cam, and gettting healthier, we can make a push. I have a very hard time believing we will go into Buffalo and win, or sweep TB, but the others look largely winnable. All comes down to this teams perseverance, and coaching (unfortunately). 

If this is truly a playoff worthy team they will find a way to get to 9-8. Also, no one is "unbeatable" this year. Each week a "top" team loses some game they already penciled in as a W (see Titans this week).

However, as others have said there are likely going to be teams like the Eagles and Vikings also at 9-8.

The path is still there but it is extremely narrow now that Minnesota, San Fran, and Philly have all caught on as of late. 
 

I think the Saints continue to fade, but I’m not sure we can overtake those other three unless we go 6-0 or 6-1. 
 

I don’t think 4-2 gets it done.

The whole notion that there are games you can pencil in as wins and losses this year is completely out the window. We could sweep Tampa and beat Buffalo and get blown out by Miami. This NFL season has been completely unpredictable leaguewide. The Titans have beaten the Rams, Bills and Chiefs but lost to the Jets and Texans. The Bills lost to the Jags and got smoked by the Colts last week. The same Colt McCoy led Arizona team that got pummeled by the Panthers is undefeated otherwise, with convincing wins against the Seahawks and a surging 49ers team who have outscored their opponents 94-42 in their last 3 non-Cardinals games. The list goes on and on. Let's stop worrying about who is on our schedule and who we "should" or "shouldn't" beat and focus on just playing good smart football on offense, defense and special teams. Cause when we're clicking, there's not a team in the NFL that scares me. When we're not, we get blown out by the Giants.

TB's offensive line does not bode well for our defensive line (Given what DAL and WAS were able to do).  I can actually see a Buffalo upset but we're probs looking at 7-10 or 8-9.

Which is strangely in line with many predictions from early in the season.  But I don't think we expected to get teased at how good we could be or how shoddy coaching would be.

With how much better the offense looked I'd say we have a good shot if our defense can recover from what ever the poo on Sunday was. Also for a side note we need to throw out the all black jersey combo. They look awesome but  they are bad luck. Every time we wear them things go wrong.

      I don't think it's any weird or unique clause, it's the offset language, same thing so many contract disputes are over. It just means that including it, if a player is cut and then signed by another team, the original team would be able to subtract how much they're getting paid by the new team from what they still owe him on their guaranteed money. For example, it's why Russell Wilson signed for the minimum last year with the Steelers as that was included in his Denver contract.  So if he signed with the Steelers for $1 million, he'd get $1 million less from the Broncos, if it was $2 million, he'd get $2 million less, basically he couldn't make any more money than he was already going to make, so you sign for the minimum to not take unnecessary cap room from your new team while giving extra cap room to your old one. The problem with trying to include it in rookie deals is that a team trying to include it, it says they think they don't really believe the player will make it 4 years with the team before they cut them.  And this usually comes up with one or two rookies in most seasons, the difference is it's usually handled much more quietly and not as public and ugly as this one. The other difference is that it's happening with the Bengals, which I believe I saw are one of the few (or only?) team that doesn't have protections for rookies in rookie and mini camps to be able to participate even if they haven't signed their contract yet.  The other teams have injury protections that allow them to still play, but the Bengals do not, which is also why this one is so public and ugly, as most the time this happens, the rookie is still participating in the rookie and subsequent mini camps, giving them more time to get the contract done before training camp when they'd then hold out.
