Remaining games of Teams in Playoff Hunt

I have color coded the remaining teams records with red orange green blue

Red being contenders above .500 and orange right around .500 and still competitive, green is below .500 and injured with blue being a sunken ship team.

 

 

NFC NORTH

5-3 Green Bay:

CHI 4-3

PHI 3-4

NYG 2-6

MIN 1-6

DET 5-3

ATL 2-5

DAL 3-4

PIT 2-5

CHI 4-3

 

Thoughts: A lot of green left on their schedule. Very winnable games. Look for them to lock up the NFC North crown in a few weeks.

 

 

5-3 Detroit:

CHI 4-3

PIT 2-5

TB 0-7

GB 5-2

PHI 3-4

BAL 3-4

NYG 2-5

MIN 1-6

 

Thoughts: All that Green and blue doesn't bode well for us. Only 2 games left against winning teams. And one of them is the Bears without Cutler. They almost certainly will grab a WC slot unless a breakdown happens...

 

 

4-3 Chicago:

GB 5-2

DET 5-3

BAL 3-4

StL 3-4

MIN 1-6

DAL 3-4

CLE 3-5

PHI 3-4

GB 5-2

 

Thoughts: A nice dose of red and orange. With Cutler out 3-4 weeks, I can't see them making a legit run. Their record should be 4-6 in three weeks and then they will have to work to get back in the race.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

 

NFC WEST

6-1 Seattle looks to have the West won aswell:

StL 3-4

TB 0-7

ATL 2-5

MIN 1-6

NO 6-1

SF 6-2

NYG 2-6

ARZ 4-4

StL 3-4

 

Thoughts: Look at all that blue!! Bottom feeders ready to get eaten alive by Seattle. Hopefully they are at least able to beat New Orleans for us. They should win the West, easily.

 

 

6-2 San Fran:

JAC 0-7

CAR 4-3

NO 6-1

WAS 2-5

StL 3-4

SEA 6-1

TB 0-7

ATL 2-5

ARZ 4-4

 

Thoughts: Tougher schedule that Seattle's, but not enough to drop out of the wild card slot, IMO. The truth will be revealed in the next 3 weeks for them.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

 

NFC SOUTH

6-1 New Orleans:

NYJ 4-4

DAL 3-4

SF 6-2

ATL 2-5

SEA 6-1

CAR 4-3

StL 3-4

CAR 4-3

TB 0-7

 

Thoughts: The best way for us to make the playoffs is win our division, IMO. New Orleans has a tough remaining schedule, as do we. If we can sweep the Saints, I think we win the South.

 

4-3 Carolina:

ATL 2-5

SF 6-2

NE 6-2

MIA 3-4

TB 0-7

NO 6-1

NYJ 4-4

NO 6-1

ATL 2-5

 

Thoughts: Atlanta and Tampa games HAVE to be won, and we can only afford to drop 2 games in our remaining schedule, IMO. Neither of them against the Saints. If we can have a 6-4 record in three weeks- I like our chances!

Not looking past this Sunday, but the 2 following will be very telling. I think it bodes well for us that the meat of our schedule comes at the end, when we have done better with Chico & the Cam....

 

I thnk we can give SF a run for their money & possibly beat NE straight up...

i think this is pretty spot-on. we can afford two more losses but any more than that and we're in deep poo.

I think we have to beat both SF and NE and I think we can definitely do it. We should be able to sweep the Falcons and the Bucs. I think we can beat the Saints twice but it's an unrealistic expectation since we nearly play them back to back. The refs will probably cheat us out of the game in the Dome.

It all comes down to the conference games (Atl 2x, NO 2x, TB, and SF)  Keep in mind, the tie breaker between us and Detroit, San Fran, and Green Bay will be conference record.  We go 5-1 in those six and we are in (in my opinion).  We go 4-2 in those six and we will need to go 2-1 against the AFC east and also watch the lions and packers as 10-6 may not get in.

 

That fact makes the New England game, not as important as this upcoming Atlanta game or the 2nd Bucs Game.  Each and every game is absoultely huge, but taking a loss to Atlanta this weekend would be far more detrimental to this teams playoff hopes than losing to New England.  With that said, I hope we crush them both. 

 

 

 

With all that said, it is still way too early to be looking at this.  This team needs to just beat Atlanta this Sunday and take it one week at a time.

    • AT got what he deserved. Be gone and enjoy those 4 catches and the bench and your pay cut
    • we have been bad offensively basically every game Rico Dowdle hasn't gone full Tecmo Bowl Bo Jackson on folks.  
    • Strongly disagree with the premise here. Without getting too into it, the biggest gripe for many has always been his footwork and pocket presence.  Shallow drops, happy feet, bad awareness - his overall technique is highly unconventional and not beneficial to his size/frame.  His upper body gets mad out of sync with his lower, drops back parallel to the LOS, erratic behavior. When you take that to the NFL level, you get swallowed up. And he got shellshocked and started bailing way too soon on plays. Unnecessary throwaways when he should step UP into the pocket and hit.   He got away with it in school because sooo much of his work was out of structure or quick hits to Jamo.  He was able to not bail early and stick in the pocket this last game. He also was dropping deeper than he usually does to create sight lanes. He can’t really outrun DLs so he needs to create that space via drop to survey properly. When he does these bs skip hops in the gun, he barely drops and is flooded. He needs to stay active with his feet but learn to step into the pocket more.  His average arm when he’s not doing this right turns Pennington esque.
