I believe to have any hope at all of going to the playoffs, they must first beat the Chargers this week, and build a win streak - not a win one, lose one thing. I don't even believe losing to the Chargers this week and winning the rest of their games will help. I know that might sound odd given the fact that they'd be 10-6, but I just have my doubts about a 10-6 NFC East team making it to the playoffs unless they are in second place.
Thinking optimistically, I don't believe this team will have a losing record this year. I think our record will reflect our improvement. It might be 8-8, but I don't see us having a record less than that.

10-6 is possible when you take a look at NFC teams who are leading right now and who they play. Dallas will not beat Denver, Giants, Redskins and Panthers. 3 out of 4 are on the road. They looked like shit yesterday and the difference between our game and theirs, were Referees who wanted to see a 7-3 Dallas team. Realistically, we have the easiest schedule in the NFC East. We could make or break the Giant and Cowboys because they play us after one of them loses. So keep your eye on Tampa and Carolina because they are as inconsistent as the Cowboys. We'll get in.
