Call your shot -- playoffs or nah?

I see losses vs KC, MN and Carolina.
No playoffs.

Of course you do.

On another note, when saying "Our opponents we've beat have a losing record" I think you need to remove the head-to-head when doing that comparison. If we already beat them, then of course they have that loss - the question then becomes "How are they against everyone else?" If they're otherwise 4-4 then they don't have a losing record if we don't play them, if we then play them and win we beat a .500 team.

The odds of making the playoffs greatly diminish when you have no chance of winning your division. You then are essentially competing for one of two wild-card spots. That said, I think they have a shot if they beat Carolina and a pretty good one. My only concern is we are yet to beat a team we are an underdog in so this upcoming game is interesting.

I believe you’re right about this next game carrying so much weight. Win on the road at 10 am as a dog gives not only huge confidence but at 6-5 the odds go up considerably. Fall to 5-6 and both odds and confidence drop.

This week we have to, can, and will win this game.

The difference between winning and losing is a win puts us in a wild card slot. Losing puts us 2 games back of Carolina and at least 1 back of Minnesota (thwy probably win so most likely also 2.)

However the Panthers arent that good. We can beat them and we will beat them.
