In my estimation, there's no way around it. If we can somehow, SOMEHOW, split the next two games then I believe we may still have a realistic shot to sneak into the wildcard, IF that matters to you. There seems to be a line in the sand between fans who would rather get a higher draft pick and not just be one and done again in the playoffs as per usual, and those who think just getting into the dance, anything can happen so why not?
If you fall into the latter then here's the likely scenario. If we can split one of these games (I think it's relatively safe to say we won't win both), that puts us at 7-7 with the remaining games left on our schedule:
@ Titans
vs Steelers
@ Cardinals
Personally, I can see us winning our final 3 games. Especially if we can beat either the 49ers or Eagles and get some confidence and momentum going (personally I think it will be the MNF game at home against the Eagles we can win).
Simple math puts us at 10-7 to finish the season. That would be a nice way to end the season based on the season as it's unfolded so far.
If we drop one of those, that's 9-8 and an outside shot for the 7th seed but none of us would know if that's a viable scenario until the final week.
Sadly, if we lose our next two and go 6-8, I think the fat lady sings, and sings her fat ass off. We are likely cooked and it's on to looking towards next April and next season.
Thoughts? Comments? Suggestions? Kick ass Christmas drink recipes? We are gonna need them.
