Do we still make the playoffs?

We're just good enough to get a s**tty draft pick now.

You're giving this team too much credit. After the beating we're about yo get from NY, your draft expectations will be improved

With the how Kyler Murray and Russell Wilson are playing right now(things can change), I don't see how anyone but AZ or SEA win the division. That's right now. Things can change. But both of those QBs looked incredible on Sunday.

LOL. Kyler Murray is still debatable. He wasn't the reason they beat us.

Wilson is proven, but their defense is butt.

Also, how do you know how everyone stacks up after just 2 games into Covid season? You give up way too easy.
Also, when we played Arizona, we had no Deebo, Aiyuk, Kittle did nothing the second half, and no preseason. Once we play some more games, we'll get in the groove, and we'll have Deebo, Kittle, healthy Jimmy, Mostert, and Sherm.

After all the injuries we've had already, including 2 season ending to starters it was appropriate that the server went down this morning. This is after the MRI truck broke down yesterday. This was supposed to be the Revenge season. It's looking more like Montezuma's Revenge.

To make the playoffs they can't lose more than 1 or 2 non divisional games

They'll probably split with every nfc west team not named az. That's 4 losses right there
Playoff teams are all going to be the ones who manage to avoid crippling injuries in the year of Covid. We already had ours it will take a miracle to string enough wins together to get healthy enough to make a push. Eagles, Giants, Carolina and Denver are probably already in serious trouble too. If you have a MVP level QB you can hide a big loss like Irvin for the Seahawks but even they will start to crumble if the lose a few more like we have.

We haven't even seen any positive COVID tests yet. In another couple of weeks after teams have traveled a bit more, we may start to see some, especially if the coaches keep violating the rules. How long before the players start doing it.
Instead of Will we make the playoffs, a better one would be "Can we field a team next week?" And then after that, same question for weeks 4,5,6 and so on. If we have another disastrous day like Sunday, there won't be enough guys left to even fill out the O and D. And like Catch said above, we really haven't seen any covid cases yet. And they almost have to be coming....and if not here, then elsewhere. But we know it can happen. Yikes.

I mean if jimmy can start playing like Tom Brady then yes we can make a run, the offense can carry the defensive injuries with kittle and deebo coming back, and I would deff be a player in trying to trade for Odell Beckem if I were Lynch , time to get aggressive herw
Our division is currently 7-1. I don't see us winning the division, especially given our injuries. Our division is way sick.

Zona looks like they will scrap to the death. They're a formidable foe.

Seattle IMO is the top team. Tops in the NFC too. RW is balling.

Rams: defense looks mean and Goff looks more comfortable.

I don't see us fairing well at all vs those 3.

Saleh cant do jacks**t without talent, hence no we won't.
Teams that make the playoffs are generally the teams that get healthy in the final 1/3 of the season. We are a long way from that time which gives us a ton of time to make adjustments in the defense and get the offense rolling. We still have a ton of talent on this roster. No reason to go all "chicken little" just yet.

Remember, all NFC West will play there in NY as well.

Not the Hawks, they play jets and Giants at home. So do the Rams only 9ers and AZ play at Metlife

Figures. But yeah, no luck involved there with the schedule

I know, I don't see why people didn't watch the film on Kyler Murray, he missed many throws (easy ones at that) and he did not do too well as a passer against us as well as many other teams last year. He's a very good quarterback overall and his running ability will keep him dangerous but we lost because of a blocked punt and the fact we couldn't get less than a yard on fourth and goal.

As far as Seattle goes, their defense is absolute garbage.

But then again having all pro players and good starters will definitely kick our ass. Hopefully they are all back except Bosa by the Rams game. I would love to see how the Cardinals would be without Chandler Jones or the Seahawks without Jamal Adams. We lose our defensive players like it's going out of style and our division opponents are healthy as usual.

I think we make the playoffs as a wildcard unless other teams in our division get injured then we can easily take the division. We are a much better team than Seattle and the Cardinals WHEN healthy but then again they need that handicap to even compete with us.
