So this is the situation: In order to make the playoffs, we’d have to win at least four out of our last five games. We’d have to beat the Packers, Saints, and Rams, who are all 5-6 and right on the playoff bubble. Then we’d have to beat the Eagles at least once which just doesn’t seem possible unless they trot out their backups in the last game of the season. And on top of all of that, even if we do somehow manage to win four, we’d need the Packers, Rams, Saints, Bucs, and either the Vikings or Seahawks to drop enough games to put us ahead of all them.
