We're making the playoffs

[*PhilHos*]

Ok, so without reading too many of the recent threads, I can only guess the doom-and-gloom is at or above GameDay thread levels with people calling for wholesale changes like replacing Zac or trading every good player we have, etc. Well, as much as I would like to see a few changes myself (namely, Lou has to go; I like the guy and he does a great job against the Chiefs, but we need someone to do a great job against the rest of the league), I still think we're making the playoffs.

And we'll most likely lose at least 1 against the Steelers just because they're the frickin' Steelers. But I think we'll beat most of the other teams we'll face even if it's by just outscoring them. I see us ending with 10-11 wins assuming only a little defensive improvement which should be enough to get a Wild Card game if not the division depending on how the season goes for our divisional rivals.

I held out hope that we could beat the Eagles, but like I said in the rest of my OP, that we still struggle with running QBs and Hurts is a much better passer than Lamar is, IMO so I'm not surprised that Philly beat us.

Assuming we make no trades or major changes (shocking assumption to make, I know), I still think we will make the playoffs, though with the defense as it currently stands, we'll be one-and-done. But I think we're still going to sneak in. That being said, there's still plenty of time to at least fix the defense via scheming and playcalling (especially if someone else were doing the scheming and playcalling, hit hint).
