With Cutler hurt. Its us vs the Lions for a WC

[CharlottePanther]

Not only is Cutler hurt but there is now rumblings of the Bears moving on without him. As the Bucs can attest, nothing puts a franchise in a tailspin like talks of a QB change. The. Bears still have a rough schedule ahead and their horrid D wont carry them. The NFC north doesnt scare me, Cowboys will win the NFC while the rest of that division will be lucky to go 8-8. Over to the NFC west, its pretty much a given a WC spot will come out of the NFC west be it the 9ers or the Seahawks, one will win the division and the other wil get a wild card.

In our division, Falcons MIGHT get to 8-8 and the Bucs, well.. The Bucs. Packers are now the clear favorites for the NFC north, the Bears have the makings of a mid season meltdown. The Lions look pretty legit this season. With either the 9ers or Hawks all but certain to nab a WC spot, it looks as though its game on between us and the Lions for the final WC spot. This might be a year we can get in at 9-7. This is the Lions remaining schedule;

Cowboys

@Bears

@Steelers

Bucs

Packers

@Eagles

Ravens

Giants

@Vikings

Jesus....who do they lose to other than the Packers?

[RoaringRiot]

Based on that schedule I think two things 1) like I said before I don't think 10-6 is a playoff lock and 2) might want to look at the Packers' schedule and pray it's more difficult

[nosuchthingasapanther]

why a wild card?

 

the saints won't win the division.

 

watch.

although 5-1, they havent been really impressive.  barely got past the Buccs and Falcons early.  we match up very, very well against them.

You cant trust the Lions. They are major chokers, yes we can be chokers also but the Lions are just as bad. The Bengals just beat them in Detroit. I can see them losing in Pittsburgh, I could see a Ravens loss and even a Eagles upset wouldnt suprise me. Yes the Lions are a pretty good team but they cant be trusted.

Packers and Cowboys are both potential losses other than they seem to have an easy road

[pfish68]

I have looked a lot the packers and Lions both have much easier sched. Totally agree 10-6 and we could be sitting at home. I think the easier road is winning the division, we still control that and the saints still play the seahawks and the 9ers. The biggest thing we have to do is win the next two then split with NEw England and SF games then we can really start to hope.

Lets hope they squander down the stretch as well.

Their D is scary and the O is playing lights out. Now if Graham is out, that changes things. I dont see how the Saints dont win the NFCS, although we win against the Bucs we will only be a game behind

Oh come on now. They are a Tom Brady miracle throw from being 6-0.

I can easily see a loss @Pittsburgh. Steelers seem to be getting some momentum and Pitts is a tough place to play in the winter.

Cincy will win that Division - no real shame in that loss. I don't think you can call the 2013 Lions chokers based on their past teams. If that was the case no one would ever take us for more than losers.

Im not sold on Pittsburgh having "momentum" or being "back on track" just yet
