Must win game

[Joe Bear]

This was always marked down as an L for me. Splitting was a pleasant surprise. Hammer their ML.

Really needed the win against the saints, like bad. 
 

10 games probably gets the 7th seed this year. Tampa probably wins 11-12 so division is out of question unless Mayfield gets hurt or something.
 

Which means now, our best shot is: Beat the Falcons, 49ers, Saints. And then we need to win 2/4 between the Rams, Seahawks, Bucs, and Bucs. 
 

Possible, but unlikely. Now losing to the Saints- very unlikely.

We needed the Saints game for respectability. 

Now any win on our schedule can be written off as a fluke result.

No, the Saints game was the must win game.

I don't disagree

I may be in the minority, but I watch every year because I’m hoping we make the playoffs.  We a competitor pulling for a team in a competitive sport, why would I watch knowing we’re just gonna suck anyway?  Even in years that we know we’re going into it thin, I still want to believe we’ll be one of those miraculous one-year-turnaround stories.  Why else should we be watch if we don’t want to compete?  And yes, I’m aware competing can happen without winning, but the playoffs are the minimum goal in my mind.  Nobody wants to waste their time or resources to lose.

That being said, as long as Bryce is playing, we will not be making the playoffs.

I mean....I just watch because I have been doing it for 30 fuging years. Tepper has slowly robbed me of the wishing for playoffs. 

I just watch because I have been doing it for so long.

This is me.

We used to have rituals in the house, family and friends wearing swag, cooking out, even in the down years.

Now we watch every game mostly alone.  Maybe a family member or two come over but thats got more to do with they know what Im making for dinner.

The wins just are not as sweet and you become numb to the losing.
