Re: 9-7 To The Playoffs?
 

if portis was healthy, i'd be more optimistic. he can make yards out of nothing. sellers can sorta do that, but our ground game is going to require amazing OL support to be any good.

Re: 9-7 To The Playoffs?
 

I do think 9-7 gets the final wild card....

but I need to see alot more than just one win before I say we have any chance of getting back into things. However, I think Carolina (minus probably New Orleans) is the best team on our schedule...

If we get out of the homestand with 2 more wins...then I'll consider it, but one good game isnt changing my opinion.

Re: 9-7 To The Playoffs?
 

If we win the rest of our games we would need....
Atlanta to lose once to us which we have to win for this scnario to work so this is all we need form them

St. Louis to lose 2 (Arizona depends if they show up to play, Chicago, Oakland, Washington again we need ot win to progress, then minesota)

San Fran lose 2(NO should lose, Green bay should be fun, Seatle never know, Arizona?, Denver should win i see atleast 2 losses here

Philly Lose 2 (carolina, US (this needs to be win for this to work at all), Giants should be able to beat them, Dallas will beat them, Atlanta)

Min Lose 2 (chicago, lions, jets, green bay, St. L, a lot of AFC they will lose 2)

Carolina Lose 2 (carolina has philly next week win win scnario, then Giants, pitty, atlanta,NO, Possible for them to lose 2)

Giants to lose 2 ( US theres one, Dallas thers another, Carolina w eknow how good giants D is doing, NO?, )

Point is we have to win the rest of our games ot have a chance but the chance isnt as far off as it seems as long as we do win the rest of our games, we hold a lot of our own fate in our hands and one of these teams can outrank us becuase there are 2 wildcard spots open. NO is the team i worry about the most but our team is hungry and hopefully feeling desperate.

I mean the NFC is looking like shit, so this year would be a year for a 9-7 team to get in.

I mean 8-8 teams have gone in from the NFC before. Wasn't it the Viks two years ago or something?

haha I know it was a mistake, I am just messing.

Re: 9-7 To The Playoffs?
 

Sure alot of things have to happen for us to get in, and yes we have only played one good game, but the big difference for me has been Jason Campbell. It seems like he has re-energized this team, there all rallying around him. Even though we lost Portis, we still have a pretty good lot of Rbs in Betts,Duckett,Cartwright and even Sellers is getting in on the act. We still have Cooley,Moss,Lloyd,Randle El and a pretty good offensive line that hasnt really given up that many sacks. The weak spot has been Defense, mainly the Dbackfield, but with one substitution(Vernon Fox) we could see a big change in the way this D played, he really helped Sean Taylor in a big way, and boy how much better is Kenny Wright at nickleback?
I think we have a much better chance than alot of people on here think, and honestly I think its due to one major sub(Jason Campbell) and one under the radar sub(Vernon Fox), but lets win the next one and then we call all talk about playoffs.

it will come down to conferance record and there is where you won't make it like what happend to us last year

Ah, but see that is where you are all wrong. Unlike the Dallas Cowboys, we aren't gay, and that is big with the NFL.

yea and if we arent tied witht he eagle or the giants...........we arent necessarily competeing against them and the redskins arent gay.

Re: 9-7 To The Playoffs?
 

1% chance of 9-7

God was on our side...re: fumbles not recovered and penalty on Peppers for very very questionable hit on campbell- negating an INT...

doesn't matter, we were due...the turnovers are finally coming our way...

Re: 9-7 To The Playoffs?
 

great comeback yahooooo

reallity check

best possible record 9-7 3 -3 division record and 7 -5 conferance

the giants are 6 - 5 they only need to win 3 out of the last 5 to have the same record and even if they lose to dallas and Philly the second being really hard to do they will end with a 3 -3 division record but they're 5 -2 at the conferance

San Francisco, St Louis, Atlanta, Minnesota are all 5 -6, Carolina is 6- 5 but they all need to win 4 out of 5 to make it (carolina has to doit because you have a 1/2 game lead).

That's 5 other teams that can take 1 of those 2 final spots and all of them have a better conferance record that you guys

And all of your final 5 games are against NFC teams fighting for 1 of those 2 wild card spots now that's tough including 2 divisional games and youi have zero percent margin of error

Sorry I don't see it be Glad Campbell has promise for next year

Re: 9-7 To The Playoffs?
 

I think our only chance will be tied with a team or teams that we have beaten. We will take it in the 1st tiebreaker "head to head", and throw div and conf records out the window. We do play a few teams that are in the wildcard chase yet. Just cant get tied with Minn Tampa etc..
