That thing doesnt really make any sense, because it has both us and Tampa going 12-4, with Tampa winning the division. Also it has NY going 15-1. So that would mean that our only loss for the rest of the season would be tomorrow at Tampa, and that we would have to beat the Giants.....but that thing has them going 15-1, so thats not possible....

When I clicked it had us winning Monday, and losing to the Giants. So I guess it takes a minute to update.

Are you clicking and picking your own winners week by week and generating your own scenario?

So basically, based on the most likely scenario, the Panthers would have to win out in order to get a first round bye, beating at least the Bucs and NYG. And it looks like we are not going to be able to rest the starters at all because things won't really shake out until we finish at NO. NO and Atl play today and Atl/ TBay next week. Atlanta is likely to lose at least 1 of those. 10 wins for the Saints will not win this division or likely result in a playoff berth, so they are likely out...they will be looking to spoil our chances.

It's looking more and more like that game at NYG is going to be very meaningful, and if the Giants falter between now and then, it could still be up for #1 seed.

But it looks like 2 more wins (11-5 record) would almost certainly land us in the playoffs somewhere. Dallas and Wash are on the outside looking in in this scenario and Atlanta has the inside track on a wild card berth. It is inportant that those wins come vs NFC teams because we really need to have a good winning percentage in the conference. Tampa always seems to play better against the rest of the NFC than we do. So...the only loss we can shoulder and still stay on track is the Broncos game.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      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.
