Kevin1778 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Just now, Radar said: Do I? Haven't even imagined making the playoffs. This team making it last year was an aberration. It's a bad football team. It is a bad football team in areas. The Offensive Line and our Wide Receivers are atrocious. Unfortunately you can't win consistently with no O-Line.

I got it. I think they win somewhere between 4-6 games so I am not saying they make it. BUT the path truthfully looks something like this if they want to have a real shot: Wk 6 Win at Texans Watson doesn't play Wk 7 Win at Colts Luck is held in by our D and still shaky Wk 10 Win at Jets Wk 13 Win at Miami Wk 14 Win vs Jets Wk 15 Win vs Detroit Wk 17 Win vs Miami This would give them a 9-7 record and 7-5 conference record. Given how bad the AFC is that would keep them in the hunt. If they somehow could get to 10 wins and pickup a win specifically against the Jags which would boost their conference record to 8-4 things would be solid. Realistically those are the games they have probably the best chance to take at this point no one is predicting wins against NE and CHI/JAX look pretty formidable at this point. You're correct. The four games vs. the fins and jets are pivotal. I don't see us matching up well against Det. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Fischer Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 This board could not possibly accept so much winning and the playoffs would be uttlerly appalling. 2 hours ago, iinii said: Beat the Texans Would be a good start. I really don't like looking ahead because it's hard enough to go possession by possession. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So much more value in next year’s draft at pick 31 than there will be at 32. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re not making the playoffs "possibly worse in franchise history" I'd like to introduce you to the 1976 (245 points, 10 game losing streak), 1977 (3-11, 160 points), 1984 (gave up 60 sacks, 250 points) and 1985 Buffalo Bills (200 points, the lowest in the 1980s!).

Reed83HOF Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 I want to win the super bowl, will that happen this year? Nope... It would be nice to be able to be in the position to win one every year or at least be a serious playoff contender - we haven't been that team in 18 years.

We’re currently on pace to score 202 points. Passing numbers are anemic. Rushing yards are pitiful. I’m not trying to be Debbie downer or anything, I actually predicted us to make the playoffs again before the season.

Augie Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Of course I WANT the team to make the playoffs, but I don’t think they will and it’s not what’s the most important thing for me. I really want to see progress, especially with Allen and the younger guys. We won’t be having any deep playoff run, even if we somehow made it in. I want to see us growing for the future. We have a lot of holes to fill. Show me we are going in the right direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fadingpain Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Kind of a stupid premise to be honest. No one wants us "not to make the playoffs". A better question would be what is better, short term gains with an all-out push for the playoffs, or a view to the long term which maybe doesn't give us the best chance to win now. I vote for the latter approach. I think the team will actually go for the former approach and we will see Anderson starting games. And yes, that's a really bad idea.

But in reality, we’re pretty awful We have 60 points in the four games Allen started. We'll be fine. Also, the running game is slowly picking up now that we're not passing the ball 2x more than running. Allen is 2-0 when we keep his attempts below 25.

jwhit34 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 The only way they make the playoffs is if the offense performs substantially better which means Allen plays better and maybe a receiver or two (including a TE like Croom) emerges as a reliable target and the defense performs at a similar level as the last few weeks. Those would all be great for the future of the team so by all means yes I want them to make the playoffs. Likely? Probably not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PastaJoe Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Unless the team is a legitimate threat to make it to the Super Bowl, I’d rather they don’t make it and get a higher pick and easier schedule next season. And they are definitely not a legitimate threat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they are definitely not a legitimate threat. Completely agree - and I think we can separate this from not wanting them to win. We all want to see them do well on Sundays. But I think we can all agree that the purpose of this rebuild isn't to win 8 or 9 games a year, make the playoffs and never go to the SB. Higher pick > playoff berth at the moment.

Simon Says Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 I think this is a ridiculous question. Why the hell would you NOT want your team to make the playoffs? Losers and their fantasy that tanking is somehow a GOOD thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Point blank period. I’ve been a fan since the late 60s. Not settling for good enough doesn’t mean I’m not a real fan. You need to play the long game and become a contender. This team has been bad for so long that it’s brainwashed some fans into lowered expectations by thinking just making the playoffs is the goal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
