This season is by far not over. But I think we can afford one more loss. (Well I guess 8-8 could win you the division, never know, this is one of the worst divisions in football).
Carolina (W)
Houston (W)
@ Jacksonville (L)
@ Chicago (W)
Detroit (W)
Carolina is a tough game but at least we're at home. That is obviously a must win at this point. Assuming we win that, Houston is a very winnable game at home.
Jacksonville is probably a loss on the road. Obviously Chicago is a must win and then Detroit to make them 0-16.
9-7 is still doable.
If we don't make the playoffs, I'm going to be p'd off. I don't get the comparisons between this team and the 05 team. We're coming off a season we were 13-3 with the same team in a division that is one of or if not the worst in all of football. We've lost so many close games, its going to really annoying to miss the playoffs.
And if we miss the playoffs it will be even more annoying because we will probably finish 8-8 with a mid range 1st round pick. If your going to miss the playoffs, do it in style like 1-15, lol.
Overall, we're alive and kicking, it was a beatdown yesterday on every level but its not over.
