[Genghis Khan]

I think they're better than these slop teams that will make the playoffs like Tampa, the Skins, Texans and so forth, but a tier below the Lions, Bills and Chiefs.

I'm not sure they're even that much better than those slop teams.

 

[bbgun]

Why?

Who in the hell wants to make the playoffs just so we can go play in the cold at Philly with Cooper Rush who can barely execute 12 handoffs in a row without fumbling?

I'm fine being competitive and winning a few games but I don't want to be in the playoffs and go that low in the draft.

draft positioning. you don't want to be picking lower than a team that throttled you.

The tiebreaker isn't H2H, it's strength of schedule and we're far behind New Orleans.

I also don't care much about picking 12 vs. 14 or whatever.

 

[Chocolate Lab]

The. Eagles. Are. Frauds.

I see a lot of people putting them among the elite teams this year.

They are not remotely elite.

Good thing I'll be watching the Lions-Bills today because rooting for the Steelers is just gross.

 

[Simpleton]

I'd also like to reiterate that we absolutely need to resign Osa, he's obviously not an ideal run-stuffer but he's absolutely the exact kind of 3T you want, short of having a truly elite future HoF type.

that's if we tie. we presently have one more (meaningless) win than them and it's not inconceivable that we finish with a better record. not good.

 

[NoDak]

Bills just got robbed. WR being pulled early in the endzone AND the defender came over the top early. No call.

 

[Bipo]

Wonder what could have been if we hadn't have fucked around with a bum like Zeke half the year and gave Dowdle 25 per game?

Hurts turns it over

 

[bbgun]

and now their white bread cornerback coughs it up

 

[NoDak]

Philly fumbles punt return deep inside their own territory.

Shows how shitty the NFL is that a sub-.500 team could be picking that low...

We're one fucked up punt block away from being a game out of the playoffs, so you tell me.

 

[Genghis Khan]

The Steelers suck. Russell Wilson SUCKS.

 

[Genghis Khan]

Not necessarily likely but we could legitimately finish 8-9. We'll almost certainly get to 7-10.

There's no tank. Give it up.

 

[Genghis Khan]

And we'd have a real shot at 9-8 if not for 27.

 

[boozeman]

And we'd have a real shot at 9-8 if not for 27.

We went from Team Tank to lamenting about the playoffs.

Tsk. Tsk.

 

[Simpleton]

Not necessarily likely but we could legitimately finish 8-9. We'll almost certainly get to 7-10.

There's no tank. Give it up.

Like I said during the week, we're basically locked into the 10-15 range, even if we lose out or win 2 of the last 3. I think we might even end up at 15 if we win out.

 

[Simpleton]

And the tank died with the win at Washington, you had to have known there was no chance we'd end up in the top 5ish after that win.

If we aren't getting Carter or Graham I don't think there's any real difference between 14 and 8.
