Oakland and Cleveland are the best chances of a win, but honestly I don't see the coaches letting it happen. Merv has his play-not-to-lose game plan out, so expect him to run the clock down on every possession to get out of games as quickly as possible.

We have won several games without him.....just not recently.  The team is not very good elsewhere.  When we won games without him in 2014, the line could block, Hill ran well, and the defense played well. Dalton ran for 5 TDs, and caught a TD pass during that season, our OC got creative.....or "cute" as some on here would surmise.  When he missed last season, the line was shit, and the defense could not get off of the field on 3rd down, and Dalton himself had a shaky season.  This season, the line is not good, we have A SHIT TON of drive killing penalties, and the defense is worse.  The starting QB is a bit culpable in this as well, but how many 4th quarter comebacks did he lead during the beginning of the season again?

There is more to it than the QB, but that does not fit the narrative.......the truth is, it's a total team failure, and largely a symptom of bad coaching.  When Aaron Rodgers is playing like shit (I have him in fantasy, he's absolutely destroyed my season....lol)and the team is losing, Green Bay fires their SB winning HC.....in Cincy, a coach with no playoff wins gets an extension.  You be the judge.......
