The Playoffs is not out of the question for us yet.

I've been playing with the playoff machine some today and we are still in it.It would take us winning out to do it and get some help(remember we own the tiebreaker over the cardinals) and its one chance we could still sneak in at 8-8 so our playoff off chances are not over yet thanks to the extra wildcard spot the nfl has now.

There's also still the possibility, however unlikely, that the NFL expands the playoffs further to 16 teams which would give us even more of a chance. Realistically though, I'd be surprised if we got to .500 and we aren't making the playoffs, even if they're expanded, without 8 or 9 wins at least.

It's an oldie but a goodie.

I guess the best way to describe this topic is that is mathematically possible.  We have to win the 3 we could/should win which is not out of the picture, and then win one or both of the Green Bay and Narleans games.  Green Bay often plays down to the competition, so the world would not spin backwards if we won that.

The easiest way would be an emergency transfer to the NFCE.

    • Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.
    • Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
    • Well, we got our answer on Army today.
