For the Jones family to have to make drastic changes, another 12-5 season with an early elimination would not even move the needle, they would even consider extending MM. This team appears destined to be irreverent by thanksgiving, which will put the pressure on them to change their ways. Will it work? Time will tell, but what hurts them the most is being outside the spotlight and them being a non playoff team does that!

Just think if they beat the Eagles next week.

If they are going to be cheap in FA high draft picks are the only way to go. Detroit are who they are for sucking. SF got Bosa and company from sucking a year. We got Dak and Zeke for sucking when Romo got hurt.

They certainly can, but they need some of their defensive starters to come back.
They have to find a way to survive today as well. If they end up 3+ wins back of both Washington and Philly next week really doesn’t matter all that much.

They also need the offense to pull their heads out of their butts. It won't matter if all the defensive starters return if the offense can't put any points on the board.

Like they say, when life gives you lemons you need to make lemonade. Take this opportunity to play all your young guys and anyone else that needs experience and/or evaluation. Trade everybody that has value and isn't a key player in your immediate future, all progress stoppers, Clean freaking house and get yourself better draft picks at the same time!

The team has over achieved 3 straight seasons during the regular season. Now they have fallen. And honestly they need to lose a lot more games. In part to obtain the better draft picks but also if Jerry only wins 5-6 games he will be more likely to make bigger off-season changes and that is what we really want.

I wouldn't call those last three seasons over achieving to be honest. On paper this group of players should have been a serious contender. The talent was there. Several reasons held us back. First and foremost the inconsistent play of our QB. Secondly the FO never took the risk (in investing draft picks) to add those one or two missing pieces. Thirdly, the performance of all parts of the team never really reached their max at the same time. It was always one part not meeting it's goals. And lastly our leadership never really was worth the name. Whether it's Dak, the coaches, the FO... they have been all either divas or lame ducks.

So that team did exactly what it had to offer: beating up the bad teams with pure talent, but coming short whenever a formidable opponent stepped onto the stage. They were never able to go that extra mile, because then you'll need all those factors mentioned above to push you over the edge.
