Thoughts on if we end up being a fringe playoff wildcard contender, we keep the Drew train pumping? I know Payton ain't going nowhere with a 10-6 record.

Yea, it's possible. But it is far from likely. Maybe a 5-10% chance they turn thing around.


Get to 2-2 and we'll talk.

If the NFL told all Saints opponents. You aren't allowed to run your offense only the Saints are going to run offensive plays then may be we will go 10-6

We still have to play these QBs:

Matt Ryan 2x
Aaron Rodgers
Jameis 2x

What do you think those guys are going to do to our defense? If average/mediocre QBs like Bradford light us up..... Really good guys like this are going to have unstoppable rampages (See: Brady, Tom). All 5 of those are automatic losses as far as I'm concerned.

Then you have these QBs, which are decent:

Matt Stafford
Cam Newton 2x
Kirk Cousins
Jay Cutler

So let's assume that at least a few of these we show 'em whose boss. We win 3 of 5.

These QBs we play suck and may even be able to be stopped once or twice by our terrible D:

Jared Goff
Josh McCown
Tyrod Taylor

Let's say we 3-0 these folks

0-2 + 0-5 + 3-5 + 3-0 = 6-10

Sucks to suck

Your math is almost perfect. We will steal a division game from Winston.

Bringing us to that nice and steady 7-9. We are about to 4peat.

yeah, i concur. these two games are almost as winnable as any. we have got to build some positive momentum. 2-2 is better off than how we've faired lately anyways. If we lose this week, i just assume someone rip Drew's shoulder off in the process.

The first 6 games are brutal, all 6 are playoff caliber teams, we just need to show we can be competitive.

Offensively it's hard for us to sustain drives when they blanket Thomas and snead is not available as a safety valve.

Defensively it's 2 new starters on the DL (onyemata, Okafor), 3 new starters at lber (Klein, Te'o, and Anzalone), and arguably 3 new starters at db (Williams x2, lattimore)

It takes time.

14-2 is still semi possible as well ,but call me crazy I don't see either of them happening. We need to face it we are a 7-9 team again if we are lucky. I was optimistic about this year ,but that game Sunday made any and all optimism disappear.

This defense is worse than ever. With really bad defenses the last 3 years we went 7-9. With this defense I doubt if we can win 6 games.

This defense can't stay this terrible and have Allen keep his job.

I'm banking on either improved coaching by Allen or improved coaching by Nolan as interim DC after the bye.

How will we win 10 games with lumbering linebackers and an O Line that can't open holes for the backs? Freeman and McCaf will have their way lined up one on one with our backers. Anzalone is the DJ Welter of professional football.

You have Jameis (should be in the decent category) in the category with Ryan and Rodgers , but Stafford and Cousins are both better than he is. We fricked.

There's real opportunity in the middle of the schedule to get ahead of we can get this thing even. This is 11, obviously we can drop a Detroit or Washington type game and still hit 10. Atl might not be playing for much 2nd last game.
