Comparing the second half of our schedule to Detroit's....

Not good.  We're probably going to be competing with them for that last playoff spot.  Through our last 9 games we play Atlanta twice, New Orleans twice, go to San Francisco, host the Patriots and also have tough games against decent teams in the Jets and Dolphins.  Our only real gimme is home against Tampa Bay.  Meanwhile the Lions play the Bears, Steelers, Bucs, Pakers (at home), Eagles, Ravens (at home) then the Giants and Vikings.  Probably their two toughest games (imo) are both at home.  Their schedule is MUCH easier than ours.  I'm not even sure 10-6 would get us in.  Not to put a damper on anyone's day but I'm just pointing out we have to GO HARD! KEEP POUNDING! I believe

Anything can happen, lets look at last year for example

 

This time last year Detroit was 4-4 coming off a playoff appearance.

 

They proceeded to lose every single remaining game with Stafford and Calvin playing.

That includes a week 15 28 point blowout to a reeling Cardinals team that could not win any other game past September. That Cards team was coming off a 58-0 loss to Seattle and a loss to the hapless Jets before that. Lions allowed 3 TDs to currently unemployed Beanie Wells that game.

You should post the Saints schedule too.  I think it's much more likely Carolina wins the division than beats out Detroit for the wild card.  

 

@Jets 

Cowboys 

49ers 

@Falcons 

@Seahawks 

Panthers 

@Rams 

@Panthers 

Bucs 

 

Saints are looking at around 11-5 and that's if the Panthers sweep them.  Things would change a lot if they drop a game against the Jets or Cowboys.  Hell even a loss against the 49ers in the dome isn't a given.  They have a tough schedule same as the Panthers and the best chance the Panthers have to make the playoffs is to win all their divisional games.  Do that and they have a shot, otherwise they will probably finish about 9-7 and miss the playoffs.

    • We could easily pick apart yesterday’s game: dropped passes, blown coverages, bad tackling and red zone issues to name a few. But it was clear that this wasn’t the same team from earlier in the season. They fought back and hung with the champs until the end. That’s what I was excited to see and it gives me hope that we’re on the right track.
    • I think BY played well today and exceeded expectations. I will temper future expectations as he has to string together many games of consistent quality. One game doesn’t convince me that he is a franchise QB or even a guy you want to stick with for another season. One game doesn’t erase all the negative play and limitations from the past couple of years. I hope he balls out and continues to get better but for me the verdict is still out   That said, I think he gave the team and fans hope yesterday which is a lot more than what we had when we woke up Sunday morning. 
    • He was vastly improved today and we need to see more of Bryce the rest of the season to continue evaluate him in order to decide what the heck to do with him at the end of the season. He must play at least like this and improve more from here the rest of the season in order for me to keep him. No more 123 yard passing games and want to see at least this output weekly from him. If this is Bruce improving slowly over time then Canales is even better with developing QB's than I thought he was but still too early to tell and we need to see him the rest of the way as he has at very least earned back the starting gig moving forward.
