Def not foregone. Looking at what's coming up, if they can beat Det and NYJ, it's likely they lose to the Ravens. If they can pull out the W at home against Cleveland, they set up ok for the first half of the second half of the season: Raiders, Steelers, Chargers, 49ers (3 at home). If they're able to make some hay there, it will help with the gauntlet they have to end the year: @Denver, Ravens, Chiefs, @Browns. 

I think there's some potential there, as long as Zac can figure out a way to stop making it more difficult. 

Of course, this is quite an optimistic take...
