If you consider this season over for us already then read no further.

First the obvious and easy ones.. AFC vs NFC games.

Patriots over the cowboys

Bills over the Giants

Now for the NFC battles in order of importance

Us over the falcons

Saints over the Bucs- saints are more likely to win the division and our best shot is at the 2nd wildcard spot

Vikings over the Bears-bears have head to head tiebreaker over us so we need them to fail miserably from here on out and the Vikes are not likely to be any threat for a wildcard spot

Skins over the Eagles-let washington win the east and knock the eagles further out of contention

49ers over the Lions- not as big a deal as the games mentioned above but the logic behind it is the niners seem poised to win the west anyway and either Green Bay or Detroit is on pace to get the 1st wildcard spot if they don't win their division

Now before anybody makes an ass out of themselves let me just say if all goes well if the season ended today the 2nd wildcard spot would go to a team with 2 losses(3 losses if the above happens) and we are very well still alive.

we just need to go on a hot streak starting tomorrow.

in b4 somebody post the playoffs, PLAYOFFS??? video.

The Niners over the Lions is going to be the hardest one to happen. Vikes over bears is second hardest.

Isn't it "whom?"

I would disagree with the Saints. If we are going to the playoffs we need to win 9 games probably. If we win 9 games we will win the division as long as the other teams all beat themselves up. I would rather have a flat division.

Ya your right we have a better chance of the Saints going 4-7 or worse and us beating them in a tiebreaker vs us getting the 2nd wildcard spot.*ends sarcasm*

Did you even think about that post before you made it?

I did.

I think statistically we would want the division to all win against each other as opposed to one team running away with it.

      Other NFL Games Week 7

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      If you look at almost all Daniels stats, they are as good or better than last year minus perhaps Completion Percentage. I don't think Daniels himself is having very much less individual success than the Redskins are reverting to the mean.  https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/46003861/nfl-teams-likely-decline-lose-more-games-2025-season-predictions-vikings-chiefs-commanders-lions-colts#wsh Barnwell wrote about them in the preseason as a team that had an inordinate amount of luck or success in one score games that wasn't very likely to be repeated.

      We thinking of the same Mike White? He probably won’t even make it off the practice squad.

      I would heavily push back on the notion of Tomlin and Cowher inheriting "collapsed teams." From 1980 to 1991(prior to Cowher and after their Super Bowl victories) the Steelers experienced just 4 sub .500 seasons. In fact the winning percentage for those years was 0.505. At most that was relatively mediocre, something fairly akin to the pre-Tepper Panthers. From Cowher through Tomlin(1992 to Present) it has been the NFL's best franchise. 22 playoff appearances, 4 Super Bowl Appearances, 2 Titles, 15 times winning the division. In fact they have only experienced 3 sub .500 records in that 34 season span.  That isn't ever a scenario where rebuilding happens. It's constant and consistent retooling so that your franchise floor is always high. It's smart business decisions, exceptional drafting and quality personnel moves that create a situation where that floor STAYS high.  It was precisely BECAUSE we opted to go through a complete teardown and "rebuild" without any of that competence being in the organization at all that led us to where we are currently. A situation that will more than likely continue for well over a decade longer.  Long term successful franchises do not "rebuild." They are in a constant state of competent flux that sustains them through some leaner periods without ripping the foundation completely out that led to that success in the first place.
