say we do run the table and end up with a 9-7 record (unrealistic)-

here is what would (realistically) need to happen for us to make the playoffs:

Carolina 5-7

@NE - W

MIN - W

@NYG - W

NO - W

9-7

Green Bay 7-4 (currently #6 WC)

BAL - L

@CHI - L - absolutely need CHI to win

@PIT - L

SEA - W

@ARZ - L

8-8

NY Giants 7-5

PHI - L

@WASH - W

CAR - L

@MINN - L

8-8

Atlanta 6-6

NO - L - absolutely need NO to win

@JETS - W

BUF - W

@TB - W

9-7

San Fran 5-7

ARZ - L

@PHI - L

DET - W

@STL - W

7-9

Chicago 5-7

GB - W

@BAL - L

MIN - L

@DET - W

7-9

so in the end:

9-7 CAR (we would own the tiebreaker over ATL)

9-7 ATL

8-8 NYG

8-8 GB

7-9 SF

7-9 CHI

Interesting, as much as I'm trying to fight it...the optimist in me is rising to the surface....ATL may very well lose to the Jets and Bills, unless they get their players back...and Matty Ice wasn't exactly on fire before he got hurt.

I agree with the above, Philly's most likely gonna lock up wildcard or division, so there is realistically only one spot out there, and GB would have to sh*t the bed from here on out.

that's a playoff generator and you can mess around with wins and losses.

it honestly doesn't seem too far fetched, our chances are definitely still there. I hate getting my hopes up, though. :[

It doesnt seem far fetched that we are going to win out against New England, Minny, NY and NO?

damn. thats actually not as bleak as i thought.

of course, we have to actually WIN some of these games coming up... but if we can beat the patriots, we can beat the vikings, the giants, and - maybe - the saints.

if we're 8-7 and still in the running by week 17, and we're playing an undefeated Saints team, it will be a HUGE game.

Not as bad as I orginally thought. The two obvious hurdles are us winning out and Green Bay losing several.

Question: Could we also beat Green Bay if they happen to lose only three times to Chicago, Seattle, Arizona. This way they have three more losses to NFC oppnonets. Or would they still have a better confrence record?

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
