Getting into the playoffs is always best. You never know how things will shake out. See the 2011 Giants.

I think we are already too broken tbh. I do not have hopes for the SEA game and KC will embarrass the s**t out of us. They got Reid and we got Sunshine lol. They are going to cook the s**t out of this guy. Beginning of the end. Hopefully, regroup, make some good changes, good hires, signings and shoot for next season.

you can win this div with maybe 9 or 10 wins. LA has no receivers. SEA lost at home to Daniel Jones. ARZ is probably the best team right now. we have 75% or so of the season to get past ARZ. beat Geno. these are not good teams right now. shoot for next season you are being silly here.

i wouldn't call it stumbling. you just want to make postseason. imagine we make postseason, and CMC is back at 100%. that's not stumbling. that's dangerous.

who is in the NFC? Lions, Packers, Boys, DC, Bucs, Saints, Vikings. These are the threats? They all seem pretty beatable. no true powers in this conference right now.

Honestly? Yes.

If we lose, we would be 2-4, Seahawks would be 4-2 and we would be 0-3 in the division and 0-1 against the Seahawks. We would basically be 2.5 games out already in the weakest division.

If we win, we would be in 1st in the division if the Cardinals lose Sunday, or at worst tied for 1st.

I really think Thursday night is as important as an early October game can get. If we lose, we're legit done. If we win, there's suddenly life again.

Of course it is. The entire franchise has promised to commit ritual suicide if they lose. It'll be great for fan morale - no more team to root for!

I'm wanting to see what the excuses will be in the Post Game on Thursday Night. Maybe they will come up with something new since the fans and media are getting tired of the same ole same ole. Yadda Yadda Yadda

Amazing to me that some think making the playoffs is ever a bad thing, lol.

Nfc west is not great, at the end of it all we could win the division with 10 wins. Assuming we win remaining West games and go 1-1 across the board in conference. It may be lights out for top seed but who cares I don't see any all out Juggernauts in the NFC.

Usually I'd say no but with the schedule I just don't see how we come back from 2 losses down and 0-3 in the division.

The saddest thing of all we are not supposed to be in west not great discussion. Yet here we are.

normally I'd say no, because I've seen the team make the playoffs with a similar record of 2-4 (3-5, 2001), but i think this is a must win because after Seattle, 8 of the next 10 games are against 2023 playoff teams.
