Comparing the second half of our schedule to Detroit's....

Not good.  We're probably going to be competing with them for that last playoff spot.  Through our last 9 games we play Atlanta twice, New Orleans twice, go to San Francisco, host the Patriots and also have tough games against decent teams in the Jets and Dolphins.  Our only real gimme is home against Tampa Bay.  Meanwhile the Lions play the Bears, Steelers, Bucs, Pakers (at home), Eagles, Ravens (at home) then the Giants and Vikings.  Probably their two toughest games (imo) are both at home.  Their schedule is MUCH easier than ours.  I'm not even sure 10-6 would get us in.  Not to put a damper on anyone's day but I'm just pointing out we have to GO HARD! KEEP POUNDING! I believe

Anything can happen, lets look at last year for example

 

This time last year Detroit was 4-4 coming off a playoff appearance.

 

They proceeded to lose every single remaining game with Stafford and Calvin playing.

That includes a week 15 28 point blowout to a reeling Cardinals team that could not win any other game past September. That Cards team was coming off a 58-0 loss to Seattle and a loss to the hapless Jets before that. Lions allowed 3 TDs to currently unemployed Beanie Wells that game.

You should post the Saints schedule too.  I think it's much more likely Carolina wins the division than beats out Detroit for the wild card.  

 

@Jets 

Cowboys 

49ers 

@Falcons 

@Seahawks 

Panthers 

@Rams 

@Panthers 

Bucs 

 

Saints are looking at around 11-5 and that's if the Panthers sweep them.  Things would change a lot if they drop a game against the Jets or Cowboys.  Hell even a loss against the 49ers in the dome isn't a given.  They have a tough schedule same as the Panthers and the best chance the Panthers have to make the playoffs is to win all their divisional games.  Do that and they have a shot, otherwise they will probably finish about 9-7 and miss the playoffs.

    • agree to disagree you are entitled to that opinion even though I find the argument completely bizarre based on data. I could type out a long paragraph discussing those areas but what’s the point. I posted a screenshot that showed Bryce in a similar post snap situation with a free rusher in his face which resulted in a TD - that’s what happened on the play so I posted it. 
    • I've already addressed this notion in a previous reply. You are basing your assertion outside reality if you think Bryce would have not only been more successful but defeated the Patriots in place of Herbert. Bryce got blown off the field by that Patriots team with the highest paid OL in the league. We've seen Bryce with an OL that gave up 65 sacks and it resulted in the #1 pick. And that is not a defense of Herbert or arguing he is a great QB in any way. He has physical talent but he has been similar to Darnold early in his career in terms of his very up and down perfomances. However that does not change the fact that they have significantly less invested in the OL than the Panthers.
    • I think Tepper has been setting the stage where pending there is no miracle he wipes it all clean.  Think you already have been told that with small things like Evero staying.  Bryce is the guy next year.  OC, DC, everything stays the same.  QB room largely the same.  Nothing would really matter there.  They basically get one more shot and it goes how the schedule paired with our 27th ranked O predictably most likely goes.  Everyone out the door together.  Bryce is a bridge tier QB.  I don’t see Dave surviving where he could be bridge QB here in reality.
