Easiest to hardest:


(Gotta go 5-2 to have even a chance. Maybe that might not even be enough)


1. Commanders - They seem awful. Should be a win especially with how fractured they're likely to be at that point.

2. Giants - They can be a grind (they have been all year).... they're one of the most confusing teams. But they're 2-9..... you gotta beat them. And Dart is gonna give us some freebies and bad throws. Gotta expect he's gonna do more of that than Dak will. (being the veteran he is)

3. Vikings - Usually we own them.... but they're not terrible. They might actually be better off with Wentz than McCarthy, but I don't know what they're doing. Are they giving up this year for the future development of McCarthy? But good news is they look like they're about to get into real regression with those division opponents coming up.

4. Lions - I'd actually have the Lions easier than the Chargers (not by much) just because they seem like they go high to low. High against the middling-to-bad teams. Low against probably the best 3 teams they've faced. (Eagles, Packers, Chiefs) Still Goff is excellent with a pocket to throw but awful with pressure. Confident in us winning if we generate a good amount of pressure. But will we? Think the pressure is all on the Defensive Line this game. It's newly minted.... and some people here are saying they're really good. Or was that just the Raiders?

5. Chargers - Again, usually we beat the Chargers..... tho it's not by much. Expecting them to give a great fight. Could easily be a loss tho. Not saying they'll be easy. But they've given up 37 sacks this year... we've given up 16. D-Line has to own this game against one of the worst O-Lines in the league. Again, pressure definitely should be all on the Defensive Line this game.

6. Eagles - They're definitely better than we are, but who really knows. They gave up a lot of yards to Wentz who probably could've (and should've) won if he didn't throw a pick 6 to a guy he didn't see in the middle (probably blocked from his view). Jaxson Dart didn't look bad against them. Stafford look like he had them dead to right. Dak the first game.... a tight game. Nix even had his scabs against them. Not saying we're gonna win, but they've been lucky 4 times this year and won all their close games.

7. Chiefs - I've conceded this loss. I don't think we're winning no matter what week we play them.... especially coming off the short week feels impossible. Bad matchup.... hard hitting team, a veteran coach against a newbie. Game over. I won't shine any ray of light on this one. Other 6? It's possible.... just not favoring us against each and every one in succession.
 
The Lions if they didn't have so much speed on offense i'd give us a chance ONLY because their coach gambles far too often

Eagles if we can stop their offense we can possibly stay in the game, I don't see Dak having a clean pocket all game with Phillips and the other guys on the DL
 
right now i am just hoping they beat the eagles so that our thanksgiving day has meaning - should the lose to the eagles, which they likely will, then i am probalby not even going to watch on TG.

Our offense is better than the Eagles. And if we can get a few extra drives because of our defense being better, we don’t have to play from behind.

Did you forget we have a running game?
 
People are taking way too much from beating the pathetic Raiders

Yes the D is better and the O seems back on track BUT we are still a losing team and deservedly so
 
It's the time between the games that will be an issue 4 games in 18 days. I would rank from hard to easiest as follows

1) Lions
2) Chiefs-will be desperate
3) Eagles-good time to play them?
4) Chargers-O Line issues
5) Vikings-QB issues
6) Giants
7) Washington

When did the Eagles give up a lot of yards to Wentz?

Even a solid run of results likely puts us at 8-8-1. The rest of this season needs to be about building momentum for next season. Things are too far gone this season. Those losses vs the Panthers and Cards cooked us.

If the offense can stay healthy and intact it will be a top 5 unit next season. If the defense adds some pieces in the offseason it could be serviceable and possibly above average.

I believe we finish 8-8-1 and get a middling draft pick in the first round.
