Speaking as objectively as possible, we probably lose one more game this season.

49ers, Bengals, Ravens, @Steelers, Panthers, @Bears, Falcons, @Bucs

I know that we don't lose at home, but we probably go 2-1 in that upcoming stretch. The Steelers are about the same caliber team as Carolina. They allow 4.5ypc, which is good for 24th in the NFL. Ingram will own them. Panthers and Falcons have little shot in the Dome. Bucs are garbage. Bears have 5 weeks to become functional again, which would make for a tough game if they do, but their defense is a hot mess.

Even if we go 6-2 over the final 8, we may still get the #2 seed if the Packers win the North. SF and Seattle will both be better over the second half of the season. I think that the Cowboys are about to fall off with Romo's injury, and Philly will run away with the #1 seed (best case scenario for us playing on the road).

Things are looking good, sons!

the 49ers played us so close last year. Other than ATL, I don't think anyone came close to beating us at home.

at least the Saints will have some more days to rest now to get ready for them.

I think its a 12pm kick too so that works as another intangible in our favor. Usually west coast teams don't fare as well in this spot.

i know they've gotten off to a good start but I think hit a skid coming up soon.

their offense is kind of overrated in my opinion.

@ Pittsburgh looks like it is the toughest. They can be dangerous on offense. But i don't think they'll be able to stop the Saints O, especially if the running game is still going the way it is now.

Saints won in Chicago last year and harassed Cutler all day. Marshall wasn't a factor but Jeffery had a big day if I remember right.

The team that worries me the most at this halfway point is the Ravens and Cincy. When they're dialed in, they look like contenders.

I think our home win streak breaks with one of them. I think the mini-bye we get before the 49ers when they have to play a very underrated Rams team is going to be to our benefit.

I think Steelers may beat us as well, Antonio Brown is showing he should be in top 5 consideration and LeVeon Bell has slimmed down and looks nimble. Our defense can have their hands full, but same goes for Pittsburgh defense. Dick LeBeau is a masterful DC, so I wouldn't expect any less from the best game of the season too.

Bears are reeling, Panthers at home seem easy enough, Falcons play us close, but we get this one, and tampa bay is in full rebuild mode.

I expect us to go 7-1 at best; 5-3 at worst to end the season.

3 victories from the division (CAR, ATL, TB)
1 victory from SF
1-3 victory from Bengals, Ravens, or Steelers.

So we go from the season is lost to maybe lose one more game?

Lets pump the brakes on this "objectivity"

5-3 would be great. They aren't winning at Chicago in the cold. They'll probably drop one at home. Then I expect them to lose something stupid along the way. Still enough to win the division though.
