Huh? We are alone at 5-11 and the 3 teams with 6 wins have a higher SOS (we win tiebreak).

We likely cannot beat Houston’s SOS so we can only move by the Jets and Giants. The Jets play at Buffalo and they need to win to clinch the division so Jets are not likely to win. The Giants have been awful without Jones but there is a chance that Washington could decide to not try.

Barring some crazy results, we are pretty much locked into 6.

I'm gonna trust your math because I'm hammered and really don't want to get sad trying to find out exactly how poo we are.

How the hell did this team win 5 games??? 

Playing several terrible/depleted teams/back up QBs. 

I tried telling everyone at the beginning of the season that we beat 3 terrible, terrible teams... but I got bitched at for being a "debbie downer." The writing was on the wall when we barely escaped with a win against the Jets, a depleted Saints team, and the Texans.

Hold on there partner. WE beat the teams we are supposed to beat. That isn't the problem. Also we beat the Saints in one of those games when they beat an amazing team before. The problem didn't arise until we went to Dallas and faced a very good Defense and Darnold started seeing ghosts again. 

I'll never get the people that get mad for beating bad teams. Those are the teams you're supposed to beat. like wtf.

I’d be really upset if we trade down and only get an extra 2nd or 3rd. I’d also like to get one of the top tackles and use our 5 day 3 picks on IOL. Then in 2023 we can use the day 2 picks we should have kept this year on top IOL. I think this would be a really solid and talented OL:

LT - pick 6, LG - BC, C - 2023 2nd, RG - Houston’s 4th, RT - Moton

Hopefully, build out some real depth with the other 2022/2023 day 3 picks.

And then in 2024 we can draft a QB and he will take 2 years to develop so we might be competitive by 2026😀

    • Honestly, I view the rest of this season like every game is a division game - meaning you can throw the records out.  Throw the perceived favorites out.  Every week, we have to show up and punch them in their mouth.  We’re gonna have to gut it out.  We can’t go into games against well coached teams and think, “well, the Rams already got that one, McVay is just too good of a coach and they’re too talented.”  “Can’t beat the Niners.  Shanahan is one of the best and they just play everyone so tough, even with injuries.”  We have to go into each game feeling like everyone counted us out and we have to show them why they’re wrong.  And speaking of the Niners - that’s the exact blueprint we need to be looking at - for the last, it seems like at least 5 years, they have been decimated with injuries.  And they still contend to win their division and make a run in the playoffs every year.  Even while starting a plethora of QBs.  Even with their best defensive players being out for the bulk of seasons…  their DNA doesn’t change.  They compete.  Their standard is winning and nothing less, so even if you’re the 3rd stringer forced into action, either show up and play to that level or find another team.  This should be our approach and I think the Saints game was an important wake up call… I occasionally listen to whatever ESPN show is on sports radio in the mornings with Chris Camry and I believe it was after we beat the Packers, they asked him about us and he said, “they’re a young team learning how to win.”  And that is about as accurate or a description as you can get.  It explains the hiccups and the struggles.  But it also explains why it looks so good when we put it all together.  What we need now is our guys to have that light bulb come on as a collective and never look back.  I hope last week was the start of that and it continues tonight and for the rest of the season..
    • The veterans played better last night and they actually were looking for Kon but Bridges and Sexton went for a combined 2-15 from three. That is so bad.
    • https://www.talkbasket.net/206848-lamelo-ball-frustrated-by-hornets-struggles-amid-durability-concerns "Charlotte Hornets star LaMelo Ball is reportedly frustrated by the team’s lack of forward progress, according to NBA insider Jake Fischer." Apparently in his mind being perpetually injured and playing less than Gordon Hayward while on a supermax contract has no effect on the forward progress of the franchise.
