That thing doesnt really make any sense, because it has both us and Tampa going 12-4, with Tampa winning the division. Also it has NY going 15-1. So that would mean that our only loss for the rest of the season would be tomorrow at Tampa, and that we would have to beat the Giants.....but that thing has them going 15-1, so thats not possible....

When I clicked it had us winning Monday, and losing to the Giants. So I guess it takes a minute to update.

Are you clicking and picking your own winners week by week and generating your own scenario?

So basically, based on the most likely scenario, the Panthers would have to win out in order to get a first round bye, beating at least the Bucs and NYG. And it looks like we are not going to be able to rest the starters at all because things won't really shake out until we finish at NO. NO and Atl play today and Atl/ TBay next week. Atlanta is likely to lose at least 1 of those. 10 wins for the Saints will not win this division or likely result in a playoff berth, so they are likely out...they will be looking to spoil our chances.

It's looking more and more like that game at NYG is going to be very meaningful, and if the Giants falter between now and then, it could still be up for #1 seed.

But it looks like 2 more wins (11-5 record) would almost certainly land us in the playoffs somewhere. Dallas and Wash are on the outside looking in in this scenario and Atlanta has the inside track on a wild card berth. It is inportant that those wins come vs NFC teams because we really need to have a good winning percentage in the conference. Tampa always seems to play better against the rest of the NFC than we do. So...the only loss we can shoulder and still stay on track is the Broncos game.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
