But as I look at this situation..

I have a hard time believing we can win 5 more games and get to the playoffs.

And if we do..we do not go very far.

There just seems to be too many pieces missing with injuries, etc.

And I still think we need to wait until next year when we have Beard back..

and fix our leaks at safety.

And we get a starting caliber TE.

The safety can be fixed with Earl Thomas.

The TE in the draft.

Beard has to come back and play well.

I do not trust the defense to play like this the rest of the year.

And I do not trust Linehan to be able to call winning games.

Not trying to have a depression thread here..just wondering how you guys really see things.

What are you guys thinking..?

I'm taking it one week at a time. But the talent we face in upcoming weeks aren't better than us aside from the Saints. They could very well lose out as well but this team has no reason to sit here and fear the Eagirls, Giants, Colts, Buccs or Commanders.

My feet are on the ground and I am not expecting much because, when this team gets your hopes and dreams up they crush you. However never say never. NY GIANTS twice with no Offense.

Yeah and one of those runs the defense was terrible but had a solid pass rush in the post season.

Fact is NO ONE knows what team is going to show up week to week. Since Cooper has arrived and Sua has been put it, it is at least clear the Offense is "Better" and not embarrassing anymore. The D can obviously keep us in games. I think to predict anything beyond each game is going to be a foolish labor.... I hope for the best and expect the worst. Probably better to go about it that way.

Giants have a lot of talent actually, skills talent at least, they seem to be on a little run here. Would be nice to see them win a few more to take them out of a top QB pick.

Just get into the playoffs no one can predict what will happen once in.
Especially in the NFL. Even if it goes according to plans......going to the playoffs doesn't hurt you no matter what anyone says. Even if its one and done. Some of these players need a one and done game. Some have no experience.

Every team has talent. Every team can lose. I was not saying we should win out or even that we would. My point was....there is only one Saints team we face for the rest of the season. If we take the "You are what your record says you are" approach? They shouldn't fear anyone left on this schedule. Play their game and win.

We could win 6 more we could win 3 more we could win no more.....and at this point none of those scenarios would surprise me.

Ask me again in two weeks and it might be different but for right now it's just a week to week thing....and this is Commanders week...need a w

..I see your points. Its a process of one game at a time. Who knows if Jerry picks up a safety 2 wks now? Or even a TE? I also feel your fear with Linehan...lol.. I do too.. All we can really do is hope, that for some reason he will get that One Hot Season and calls what the Dr ordered.

I know most peeps, already want to talk drafting and should get such N such. But, we got something simmering here. Lets see how far it goes.

My thoughts? Other than NO, we have more talent than the other teams we face. So what does that leave? Coaching. We have amongst the worst on offense. So games will come down to coaching and we lack that part. Should make every week interesting
