If you want to be a playoff team, you win this weekend

...with all the injuries its gonna be close....If we win...we stole one...

gotta win games to make the playoffs.

gotta win ur division to get 1st place in the division

gotta win the superbowl to get a superbowl ring

10 wins SHOULD be enough to reach the playoffs.

We need  7 out of these 8 winnable games: Eagles, Vikings, @ Giants,  @ Atl, Atl WFT, @ Dolphins, Pats.

If we lose 2 of the above games we have to win one of these:
 @ Cards, @ Bills, @ Saints, @ Bucs, or Bucs at home.

We can lose to the Eagles and still make the playoffs.  I'm not sure if a loss this weekend would define who we are considering what is waiting to come online.

With Horn gone, Henderson still acclimating, Shaq out, and CMC out, it looks like a tough game.

That 7th playoff spot looks like it should be pretty easy to reach honestly if we are even decent. Especially with the news that Wilson is likely going to miss 6-8 weeks for Seattle. Giving TB the division and assuming 1 WC spot is taken up the Cards/Rams that leaves 2 spots for us, CHI, MIN, NO, WFT, SF, SEA. Bears are 2-2 starting a rookie. Vikings are 1-3 but honestly I think they are the best out of the those teams aside from us. Saints lost to freaking Giants and we dominated them in every facet. WFT is the definition of mediocre. 49ers are starting the rookie because Jimmy G is hurt and half their team is dead again in the toughest division. Seahawks will be starting Geno for over a month in the toughest division.

I do agree that this game will go a long way to showing whether we can actually contend with the big boys or are just an also ran that sneaks into the last playoff spot then gets run over easily, but I feel very confident we will be in the playoffs barring major injuries. 9-8 might get in this year.

I get this sense also.  I predict a close game and lots of bitching (rightfully so) directed at the OL.

They have 1 starter on that Oline. They are complaining that Hurts can't, or won't go through his progressions before  taking off. He has bad decision making to go with an overall weak arm. Their Offense is a mess.

 

They lost Graham, and Barnett and Cox are no-shows. Iffy LBs, and a broke down Slay is their best CB.

 

That team, IN OUR HOUSE, has no chance.

Survey says!...you are incorrect.

Hey what baseball game is that in your picture? Is that the Nintendo baseball game from wayyyyy back? If so I LOVED that game!

[CPF4LIFE]

Agreed

[frankw]

The Eagles are better than they look but this is just one game. The bigger picture is if we want to be a playoff team we need to own our home turf. In the past few years it has not been pretty. Turning that around beginning now will go a long way.
