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.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I see Bryce's development this way: He improved when his supporting cast improved.  TMac and Dowdle saved his arse last year, but in fairness, most good QBs have good WRs and good RBs--and good OLs.   The 2025 OL underperformed, actually. They were above average, but they should have been elite if you consider the salary cap.   As soon as we signed Lewis and Hunt, I started thinking, "That's not sustainable.  With Ickey about to get paid a LT salary, Moton and Hunt grabbling $50m per season combined, and Lewis around $17m--that would be nearly $100m and the Center just walked.  Yikes.  What does that mean?  Rico walks, Mays walks, and we do not have a top 5 WR on a second contract.  We do not have an elite TE, and only 1 is on a modest second contract. And now Bryce will demand $50m for his incremental rise to mediocrity?   So when we sign Bryce, we will get weaker at other positions.  Hunt, Moton, maybe Ickey and Lewis, will all be casualties--that is the right move regardless (not sure yet about Ickey, but he was not elite) Bryce is one lucky, entitled camper.  No competition since being drafted, and he lost his job for a while to the aging clipboard holder.  Now we are bringing in UDFAs and busts to compete with him.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      Probably not.  If we are taking a QB, it would be a prospect to replace Bryce and not a flyer type player.  I can't say for sure, but I doubt he would have cracked the top 3-4 QBs even if he were to play this coming season.

      The Giants, Cardinals  and Dolphins should have moved on, but they didn't and ended up cutting their QB early into a monster second contract and had to eat a TON of dead cap money.
