Perfect time for the Mini Bye Week

[Hawkeye19]

This W feels good and now the team gets an extra 4 days to rest and prep for a Dec push.

Getting Lee back will be huge for the D, and assuming we can roll the Giants next Sun— we then only have the Raiders game left to play without Zeke.

Looks like that game will be the pivotal matchup in regards to whether or not we even have a chance at the playoffs.

If we can win the next two— we would be at 8-6 and Zeke’s return would be a real morale boost for the final 2 games.

IMO— this is setting us up nicely for a late season push. No easy task by any stretch— but all winnable games if we play our brand of football

If the team can win the next two, then the battlecry "Us Against The World" may fuel them further...specifically, Us Against Goodell and his Filthy Little Minions that wear stripes"

The big issue is we need a lot of help, even if we win out.

If we win the next two, both without Zeke, I will start to entertain thoughts of a decent season after all.

The Raider game will be interesting.

Some help. But realize that some of the teams that would qualify right now (i.e. everyone in the NFC South except the Bucs), have a ton of games against each other. Atlanta and NO haven't played each other yet. Atl has a game left against Carolina as does NO. Two of those teams also see the Vikings.

It will be hard under those conditions for two South teams to earn the wildcards.

We might need help but some of that help is just a product of the fact that it is not possible for all three of those teams to win out

If we win the next two and then win the next two (Seahawks, Eagles) we would still need a couple of things to go right to make the playoffs.

I would think if this team were to win out we would be very tough to take out in the tournament.

This would be a team returning to the playoffs after a 13 win season that’s battle tested, on a current 5 game winning streak with a fresh running back and an assumed healthy defense and offensive line. (This team won’t win out without Sean Lee)

We would be that team “no one wants to face” in the NFC.

As long as Geno doesn't derail us!!!

I don't think 10-6 gets in.

Not this year.
