I really think the best possible outcome we could hope for now is to somehow beat the Bears and Giants but still miss the playoffs, so everything ends with some hope for next season. I'd personally rather them not make the playoffs and get embarrassed again to end the season. Let them spend the offseason with these bitter losses to Arizona and Carolina and the stupid tie in London in their mouths that caused them to miss the playoffs, and maybe, just maybe they start the season off next year hungry!

There is definitely hope for the 2017 campaign, but from what I had seen last night, we are not a playoff team for 2016. It is almost better to tank to get a higher draft position.

Bolded statement is true. The key words being "LAST NIGHT".
We can't say we are not a playoffs team based on one bad (awful/ugly/pathetic pick your poison) game.

Plenty of not so perfect teams make it to the playoffs every year.
If we make it there, then we are a playoffs team. If we make it to the playoffs two years in a row, we can be sure this franchise is heading in the right direction.

French, the problem was last night was a Home game against a 5-8 team. If the 'skins somehow manage to back into the playoffs, they will be up against much better competition.

Nothing we saw last night says that this team wants to extend their season.

We just don't have the horses this year...I don't think this team has any "magic" to pull out of a hat to start stopping decent offenses, let alone good ones.

That lost was ugly. Worst game of the year (or maybe second to the week 1 game vs the Steelers, don't would have to see that game again).

But it's a week to week league.

AND.

As bad as they looked, that game was a few plays away from being a W. I mean, as bad as they played, it still was a winnable game:

-one blown coverage by Donte Whitner: + 4 points Car
-one blown block by Vernon Davis: + 7 points Car
-one missed extra points: - 1 points Was
-one drop by Davis that would have been a TD: - 4 points Was
