As bad as some of these games have been, I don't think we are out of it at all. The start to the season hasn't looked great but there is a long way to go. Burfict has only had 3 games to get back at it, Tyler Eifert hasn't played a game yet, we have a new offensive coordinator that should improve as the season goes on, the officiating should start evening out for us (wishful thinking but it can't get any worse right?), and the schedule gets a lot easier from here on out.
That doesn't even mention the fact that the Ravens have some injuries and are on a 3 game losing streak while the Steelers just lost their starting quarterback for 3-6 weeks and have lost 2 head scratching games themselves. Getting a wild card could be difficult but not impossible, while I feel like we are right in thick of it in terms of competing for the division. If we can get into the bye week with a 4-4 record I think this team makes the playoffs.
