After last night's game, where do you see the team finishing?

At this point, I see a 6-10 finish, 7-9 at best.

I fear the wheels have fallen off.

But if there is a silver lining in this mess, it may force ownership to make major changes to the team structure.

@NYG W
Oak W
@Chicago L
Green Bay L
@washington W
Phi L

8-8. Whether that is enough to win the division remains to be seen.

If we lose to the Nyg, though, a division title is unlikely and may lead to 7-9 or 6-10.

9-7, reminds me of Philly in 2011 and Seattle last year. Games get away from you sometimes.

At the start of the season, I said 8-8. With the team going 2-2 in each quarter of the season. A few weeks back, I changed it to 7-9. lol.

I will stay with 7-9....but I wouldnt argue with anyone that thinks we end up 6-10.

I've seen a lot of football in my day but last night was among the most putrid displays of football I've seen at any level. It seriously reminds me of the 3-9 year that the Michigan Wolverines had in their first year under Rich Rodriguez. Defense can't stop no one, offense can't get a first down. If we don't see massive improvement over the bye week then we will not win another game. Even the Raiders will beat that kind of putrid performance. The good news is that we get a lot of guys back from injury after the bye so hopefully we can put up more of a fight. I'll say for now we finish 8-8 but honestly, if we come out and play against New York like we did against New Orleans then we are looking at much much worse.

we might beat oakland and the packers if rodgers is still out.

brandon marshall and alshon will tear us apart like calvin johnson times two.

philly at home ...we might win.

waiting to see how this team bounces back after getting humiliated in prime time and coming off of a bye week

i'll be honest though, I am expecting a lack of preparation, focus, and pride.. but I have been surprised before

I am just not seeing how this team beats the Giants. It took 6 turnovers to barely win, we are on the road and Lee is out. It could wind up quite badly.

Same way I see it.

They eked one out with 6 turnovers when the Giants started their season in a complete funk.

One they look to have woken from.

Us on the other hand?

We seem deep into our own funk.

Bad combination.

I agree with you. Also....just imagine for a second.....Can you even begin to think what it would be like if Dallas lost to Oakland on Thanksgiving? Holy moly.

The giants have looked as poor as anyone could during a three game win streak IMO. I hope the return of Wilcox, Hatcher and Mo can somewhat offset the loss of Lee. Offense needs to play better than week one though.

I expect to see a game similar to our other games vs the Giants. Close and down to the wire.

Let's see. If Lee is out three weeks (and given Ware, Claiborne, and Wilcox and Hatcher return and remain healthy)

@NYG- Loss
vs Oak-Win
@ Chicago-Loss
vs GB (Lee back, no Rodgers)-W
@Was-Loss
vs Phi-W

8-8.

If Sean Lee is gone longer than three weeks this season is a wrap and our last victory might be on Thanksgiving.

That said, it's very possible for this team to win all of those games with or without Lee, but cannot aborb another injury on defense whatsoever the rest of the way. Good luck with that.
