The only losses I see right now are @NO and @Dal. The rest look very winnable which would take us to 10-6. Still doable guys.

Still too many holes, especially on offense. No running game and minimal production from WRs. Throw in the injuries, and 8-8, maybe 9-6 will be it.

If we can pull off some magic the next 4 games and go at least 2-2, 3-1... we will have a shot to and a nice feeling run in December. But I'm with j_y. 9-6 seems to be the ceiling to me. And I'm. It sure if 10-6 will even be good enough for a WC this year.

Agree w/ both of you guys. I just hope that people don't start calling for certain people's heads (e.g. Gruden) if things don't work out as well as folks would like. We need to look at this objectively (actually being objective - not just saying you are objective when your biases are insanely obvious).

Still say AP would have helped us right now, just saying...No, I don't care about next year either.

I agree. We needed a RB. What was the asking price for Hyde?

I think the 49'ers may have dangled Hyde but don't think they were serious about trading him.

The price couldn't be that high b/c he is a FA next year.

Hence, it was too high. They're mistake! Maybe we will take a look in the off season. In any case, RB will be a scrutinized position as will WR.

I think 9-7 is in play, especially if they come out of the next two weeks 1-1. 10-6 if a lot of things go right. 8-8 should be worst case.

Of course this is assuming injuries don't get worse and we get some guys back.

Hey, pass the pipe. Really think we're going 6 and 2 next 8 games. It's our year of just being hurt. I do believe if we had the Eagles schedule of playing teams at the time they have we'd be 6 and 2 right now, but man,, we're just so banged up. I'm hoping for 9 and 7 and a wing and a prayer of a WC.... but don't see it. Now,,, if we get past Minn and NO ill start drinking the kool-aid.

I saw a very interesting picture of Minnesota's run. They have beat Flacco, Hundley, Kizer, and more trash.

Well there is no guarantee of anything & of course any more significant injuries would throw a monkey wrench into all of this. However if they beat the Vikings they will have a very favorable schedule moving fwd. Elliot's suspension is back on for now so good chance he misses the next Redskins-Boys game. They still have the very tough game in NO. Beyond that you are looking at Giants twice, Broncos (at home), Chargers (at neutral LA site - lol) & banged up Cards (at home). Those 5 games are certainly winnable - time will tell.

As GKE pointed out with the exception of the Saints (who they beat early when Saints were not playing well) the Vikings have basically only beaten crap teams this season.
