There are 11 teams with losing records, 2 teams that are winless. 9 more teams that have 1 more win than carolina. Were like 1 game out of playoff contention lol. Dont count Carolina out just yet.

ps I spelt Reality wrong. Sue me.

If TB wins tonight we are 2 games out of the division lead and 2 games out of the wildcard spot. While it seems like we aren't that far out of it, it is mathematically very difficult to overcome this with so many teams ahead of us.

We would need to go 9-3 through our remaining games most likely.

Winning against NO would keep us alive in the Division hunt...

people it's not the wins and loses its HOW we are playing.

How many of those other teams have a QB putting up our #s and are still losing?

Defense wins championships. The only thing we do on defense consistently is allow 30 points.

you are right, but dont get aggravated by arguing this. It's obvious people dont understand it takes time to build back a franchise and those dopes actually thought we would win 10 games at the beginning of the year. Yes, we are significantly further along and way more competitive than anyone with a decent mind could have predicted, but that doesnt make us a playoff team quite yet. I think if you are looking at wins/losses this year then your head isnt in the right place to begin with. One could argue we have played almost well enough to be 4-0 right now, but there are holes and it will take time to fill them. Meanwhile, one with sense would enjoy watching our progression because going into the season, that is all I asked for(realistically).

The fact that we were 2-14 last year and started out 0-2, it's stunning to see how many times playoffs are mentioned on this board. At least they are exciting to watch this year and are on an upward trend versus a downward spiral. Even if we go 2-14 again, it's an entirely different kind of season.

    • Poster board? Were you trying to use the term poster child?
    • I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive short or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads, be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
