Easiest remaining NFL schedules: 1) Falcons 2) Saints 3) Chargers 4) Seahawks 5) Packers 6) Jaguars 7) Bears 8) Colts 9) Chiefs 10) Redskins


I don't see anyway Seattle misses the playoffs this year. They are 2-4 right? So is everybody in the NFC. In fact the last wild card spot only has 3 wins. The Vikings. The Vikings have to play GB twice, Sea, AZ, and STL. Do you guys really believe you can't gain a game on that team in the next 10 weeks? Seahawks also have the 4th easiest schedule. Not one team in contention for the last WC spot are listed in the top 10 remaining easiest schedule

Man I would hope so....

After starting off with 3 undefeated teams in the first 6, two of which were on the road, its gotta be time to even out.

Although to be fair, we still should be AT LEAST 4-2 all things said, even with that beast of a start.

As is always the case, the team playing the best football in January wins the SB. The team has a talented enough roster, lets see if they can pull it together.

Skeptical, but hopeful :)

...and you're optimistic with this revelation? We score fewer points than either of these teams. If we are to go on a winning streak, then we need to start scoring points!

Not very reassuring. The Falcons and Saints are two teams that are both likely wild card contestants.

Most of this team's issues are fixable, or just require an adjustment of tactics. (Other than some of the infighting in factions within the team, but winning will probably calm some of those storms too).

For instance, in the 2 min drill - we have been able to march down the field. We seem to gum up when we have more time, and in OT we seem to leave the 2 min drill behind.

Lynch getting back up to speed is going to be big for us.

Wagner coming back is going to strengthen our D, and hopefully getting some more of our corners will at least minimize the completion % against vs when CJ is in. Conversions will get harder for opposing defenses.

I think this team makes the playoffs as a wild card. We won't get beyond that, but we should get a wildcard.

Actually no, we don't. Saints and Seahawks are both averaging 22.3 points per game, tied for 17th in the league. In a 32 team league, that's basically average. Not great, but certainly not horrible as you seem to be insinuating.

Does that average include special teams and defensive scores?

Quick checking shows that includes all scoring. Without st and def scoring our O averages18.3 ppt.

Bigpumpkin didn't specify offense, he just said "we". Luckily for us, defensive and special teams scores count too. So "we" score 22.3 ppg, same as the Saints.

I am in complete agreement that it would be great if "we" could score more points. I also think it would be great if "we" could hold on to double digit 4th quarter leads. Plenty of blame to go around and plenty of room for improvement on both sides of the ball.

Sooooo....what are you attempting to say? We don't scare anybody?

Saying I have my doubts. Saying they have yet to beat a playoff contender. Questioning if they are contenders or pretenders in 2015.

Wow, I was just seeing what our O was scoring. I didn't say all points didn't count. I think counting on d st scoring isn't a given and that our o needs to do better as well as our d so "we" can win games.

Ehhh that doesn't really say much though. You can look at it from the other side of the coin as well. All of our losses have come against teams with a combined 19-3 record.

Easy schedule? We should have lost, AT HOME, to the Lions. The same Lions that just got their first and only "W" of the season. What is "easy" really?

The way we are playing now I think the ninnies beat us.

Hope I'm wrong but this team has to show me it can find ways to win games instead of find ways to lose them.

Yeah...hopefully an "easy" schedule helps get the mojo back, because even if we make the playoffs...those teams will all have winning records.
