No Hope...? Nope. Still Too Early To Call It A Season

[Boxhead85]

Simply put, we should have won yesterday. The Panthers scoring 0 in the 2nd half is inexcusable; that Cam INT is inexcusable; not taking a knee and going into OT against a KC team that had not scored an offensive TD is inexcusable. All that said, it's still too early to throw in the towel on this team. With a win on Thursday night, we are still in this thing at 4-6 and in a three way tie for 2nd in the weak NFC South.

 

Atlanta's next three: ARZ, KC, @ LA

Tampa's next three: @ KC, SEA, SD

NO's next three: @CAR, LA, DET

Carolina's next three: NO, @ OAK, @ SEA

 

There's potential and we control our own destiny. Not saying we win any or all three, but when there's a shimmer of light, there's hope. The team needs to learn how to close out games. Keep that one game at a time mentality. We're down, but not quite out...yet.

decent odds we go 0-3 coming up.

we just lost a game where there was virtually zero stress on our ability to cover....next 3 games people are going after our weakness and haven't had to deal with that the past couple

Maybe someone should've told Shula and Ron that (taking a knee). The play worked and would've been fine had the ball not been stripped. But I'm still all in, still optimistic. 

 I don't see Tampa winning their next three, Atlanta will win Arizona and LA probably and NO will def win LA and maybe Detroit.

I'm usually optimistic, but the season is done.  Yesterday was the final nail in the coffin.  At this point, we should hope that the team plays so badly in the remaining games that they're forced to make a change at OC in the off-season

Brees, Carr and Wilson aren't going to over throw those multiple wide open receivers Alex Smith and Keenum missed these last two games.

The Saints and Raiders will be a shootout. Although the Aint's oline is questionable, they got a QB. The Raiders Oline is legit. They got a QB. Seahawks I think Russell will have a tough time with our front, but they looked good against the Patriots last night.

 

Will be tough for sure.

I had hope up until yesterday.  I even bet a friend last week that we would make the playoffs.  I have tried to stay positive, but losing the way we did yesterday kind of beats hope out of ya.  It is what it is.  Right?   That's how I feel at this point.  Go watch the post game interviews.  It's like 95% of this team lacks any emotion.  Don't see us pulling this out without a big attitude change across the entire team.  They just don't come off as being hungry and without that they aren't going to win out.

I felt that same way as well. I still have a little hope but that all gets thrown out of the window with a loss this Thursday.

The saints are going to light us up again on Thursday.

We have a 3.7% chance of making the playoffs at this moment....so, while you are correct, our season is not technically over yet, your optimism is unrealistic.  There is nothing wrong with hoping we win out the rest of the season and the Falcons start to Falcon but Christ.....some of the people on this board have the most insane expectations at the worst odds possible.
