Not with the current state of our pass game.

Dallas plays not to lose and their approach will land them in mediocrity which is why giving up our #1 pick and investing more into this season with this coach and this QB who isn't a good passer was idiotic.

Getting to 10-6 means going 7-2 the rest of the way. Over a full season, that would be 12.4-3.6. I don't think we're that good, and I'd be surprised if anyone here does.

Should-wins: TEN, @NYG
Should-loses: NO

Can we go 5-1 against PHI, @PHI, WAS, TB, @ATL, @IND? It's possible, but I don't see any of those as much better than a coin flip (and some are a bit worse). Mathematically, getting 5 heads on 6 flips is an 11% proposition. So I'll go with that as our chances.

Absolutely. And here's how:

1) Sweep the Giants, which means beating NY there - entirely probable, but not guaranteed since it is a Division game.
2) Split with the Commanders, which means beating them here on Thanksgiving. Again, entirely probable, but not guaranteed since it is a Division game.
3) Split with the Eagles. Is going to be difficult, but is certainly a good degree of probability IMO. Main thing is we have to win the home game.
4) Split with the Falcons and Saints. We probably lose to the Saints, but losing to Atlanta is not a foregone conclusion as many think it is.
5) Beat the Bucs at home. A lot can happen between now and then, but I believe we win that home game.
6) Sweep the Titans and Colts. We'll beat the Titans at home Monday week, and I believe the Colts is definitely a winnable game.

Now, whether 10-6 gets us in the playoffs is another question. I don't believe it'll be a Wild-Card winner because of the Carolina and Seattle losses,so it's Division or bust IMO. The 'skins have to lose 3 or their last 8 (assuming we beat them here) to end up at 10-6. The Eagles will have to lose only 1 of their remaining 7 (aside from a split with us) to be at 10-6, which I think is pretty likely. They still have the Rams and Saints on the road.

I'm not seeing it. 6-3 would be a good run over the last 9 games. 5-4 would be what I expect.

the Texans and Commanders game will haunt this team for the postseason.
