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

It is also possible that Detroit runs away with the north, and we beat out Greenbay for a playoff spot.

Fug a playoff berth,let's win the freaking NFC South by counting heads and kicking azz.

It's Week 9 and we control our destiny with regards to the playoffs.  When's the last time we could say that?

 

It's in our hands now.  Let's make it happen.

I understand the concern over the Lions' schedule, but let's just please focus on us. Anything can happen in an NFL season. Worry about us winning, and see what happens. We can't do anything more than that. Just stop worrying about the Lions. It doesn't do any good to stress ourselves out for the rest of the season over the schedule of a potential wildcard spot competitor.

we aren't trying to keep up with Detroit, we are chasing the Saints:

If we win Sunday the SF game will be big.

Not to pat myself on the back, but I said since before the season started the Buffalo game was a must win even more so if we lost to Sea. I hope that game doesn't come back to haunt us.

BTW I am just happy we can have this conversation at the midway point

of course, undoubtedly, our game vs SF is when Aldon Smith comes back

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

Honestly, I don't see their schedule as extremely easy. The Giants could be fighting for the division, Bears won't be easy, Packers are tough, Ravens could get it together, Steelers won't roll over, so the Bucs and Vikes are prob the only ones they are gonna trample. If they do beat them at all. (No Gimmies) "EVERY given Sunday".

If we beat atlanta and san fran that monday night game against the pats will be amazing. If we beat them as well I dom't see any way we miss the playoffs

Have to take care of business on Sunday before any of this is relevant.

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.

Truuuu

Luckily SoS is not a very good predictor of success in the NFL

I'm just happy that there won't be as many of those redneck Falcon fans in our house this weekend   :)

 

Trust me....I sat thru the Mike Vick years and their  fans came in bandwagon waves and were about as annoying as Cowpuke fans
