Final 8 games

[duke1861]

We are 4-5 as we all know. We are over halfway through the season.

Thoughts on how we finish? Of the top of my head:

NYG = win
NYJ = win
SEA = loss
SF = loss
MIA = loss
LAR = win
DAL = loss
DAL = win

I still have the team at 8-9.

I agree except I think we will beat Seattle Sunday and could finish 9-8.

Still holding to your prediction it seems.
I take it you still think we make the playoffs and get that wild card win?

Rivera is then retained?

lets play the games.

auto wins and auto losses play out better in HS and college.

I can't predict this team anymore. The Bears game broke me in two. You never know which Skins team will show up.

I had us at 7-10 before preseason and 8-9 after preseason. When I saw Watson walk the Browns first team offense down the field in preseason I knew the defense would struggle and posted that.

I'll roll with 7-10. Larsen has been a game changer and I want to see if they are actually going to put Forbes on Metcalf.

Biggest game of the year Sunday.

The jets might surprise us and dallas very well could sweep us.

The only layup I see is the giants in all honesty.

To your point, yes, the defense will be the culprit.

Given that the weaker teams are behind us allegedly per the data, we are 19th in offense and 30th in defense. That is not good.

I think 9 wins will get the #7 seed. Looks like the #2 seed will be 49ers or Lions. If we win that game, I think Harris will consider RR as the HC next year. It will depend on if EB gets offered a HC job. We can't afford to lose EB. So, to keep him we might have to give him the HC job and RR will be fired unless we go deep in the playoffs.

If Howell continues to play at a high level that would be huge for this team. Sure, we haven't really beaten anybody yet. Sunday will tell alot.

Where is the fun in that...lol

We have nothing else to do as we wait for Rivera to be fired and for the new GM to be hired.

Well, I hope you are wrong. We can't afford to let Rivera have access to 90 million and 5 top 100 draft picks.
Sorry, but if that is the scenerio Rivera sticks around, I hope we lose and lose alot.

We can afford to lose EB if it gets the team a better offensive mind. We are still just 19th in the nfl in scoring and averaging 1 point more than under Falco and Turner.

If we lose EB but get be Johnson or Ken dorsey, so be it. I like EB but he isn't the savior of the team you think he is.

I gotta feeling Dallas gets us twice. Hope not. I don't see one layup moving forward.

Why do you have Seattle as a win?
Do you think we are a good team?

I was being a homer when I picked us to beat dallas...lol

We beat them last year.

I think they mop the floor in Dallas with us. Week 17 will be interesting.

If I'm EB the first thing I say to Harris at the end of the year is "Do you really want Howell on his third offense in three years?"

Supposedly Hurney is the guy responsible for Howell being here. The Mayhew hire was always a head scratcher for me.

I want the GM to make the final decision.
If we hire Mike borgonzi, assistant GM in KC, to me, that would mean EB has a very good shot at being the next HC.

They clearly know each other and it would allow EB to stay. My concern is what EB would do to fix the defense.

We'll see. After the frist Philly game I was geeked. You can't predict this team. Lol

I would love to see what Kyle Smith could do with that money and those picks. Additionally, if we are gonna trade picks for a coach, go get McVay, not Belichick.

A first class, top notch GM with a good track record from a winning organization will feel like water to a man dying of thirst for this fanbase. We deserve it.
