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.

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

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

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
