for those that still believe........

I'll say one thing about this generator: it's pretty damn accurate. The "How Do I Use This" button in the upper right corner is pretty spot on for Fox this year.

[RazzleDazzle]

damn. thats actually not as bleak as i thought.

of course, we have to actually WIN some of these games coming up... but if we can beat the patriots, we can beat the vikings, the giants, and - maybe - the saints.

if we're 8-7 and still in the running by week 17, and we're playing an undefeated Saints team, it will be a HUGE game.

Please Baby Jesus let us go 8-7 and beat the undefeated Saints in week 17. This will make it the best season ever.

That would be almost as good as a trip to the playoffs, in my opinion.

um u guys forget who we're playing in the remaining 4 games.

yes- we all understand its dismal at best- but look at it like this:

IF we beat New England- we are good enuf to beat anyone else on our schedule..

[Mr. Scot]

New England: Playing badly, but still talented. Could rally against us.

Minnesota: Better team, but getting a bit nicked up.

New York: Arguably the worst opponent of the four, but they need to win and can be dangerous in that predicament.

New Orleans: Could be resting starters (if they're smart) or going for 16-0 (if they're stupid).

[Brooklyn Bully]

The thing about resting their starters. They're going to have a bye in the Playoffs. Say they played Week 17 here. That'd give them 13 days until their next game. I think that's plenty of rest. If I were Sean Peyton, I'd go for 16-0.

Even at the risk of an important player getting hurt in a meaningless game?

Perfect Seasons aren't meaningless. But I do understand the other side of that argument about the superbowl being more important. Especially for a franchise that hasn't won one.

If they don't finish the task, it's a footnote. People will be telling them they had an easy schedule and lost as soon as they faced a good team.

[DaveThePanther2008]

Honestly it looks more plausible than I thought. Greenbay has to tank that's for sure. Philly and Greenbay are the wild card front runners and Philly is just too strong to lose that many games imo.

Green Bay needs two wins and Dallas and Philly need one. It is slim, the gods will have to shine brightly on us. I don't see Dallas or Philly losing out.

Go Panthers

I think we can all say that finishing with a Super Bowl is way better than ending up with the 19-"Doh" record.

Winning the 4 games we have remaining, well, stranger things have happened. I mean, who is occupying the White House at present?

[MurkN]

If we somehow got to the playoffs would John Fox keep Matt Moore the starter or go back to Jake?
