Enough of the doom and gloom. I'm here to tell you that all is not lost. This is why:
You can divide the remaining games into 3 categories: NFC, AFC (non-division) and Division games. Let's start with the NFC.
NFC: 4 games
Arizona and St. Louis at Buffalo, at SF, at Seattle.
It's not beyond comprehension that we go 3-1 here. We should beat Arizona and San Francisco. St. Louis comes in at the end of November. Dome teams almost always lay an egg outdoors in the winter time. The Rams are having trouble running the ball anyway. So 3-1 is not out of the question.
AFC (non-division): 4 games
Pittsburgh and Cincinnati at Buffalo, at Tenn, at Baltimore.
Looks like we can go 2-2 here, winning the home games. It wouldn't be a shocker to go into Baltimore and win in a low scoring game.
So now, including the 0-2 start , this would make it 5-5 so far.
The division games are the key. 4-2 in the division would make it 9-7. The fringes of the playoff hunt!
The next three games are all division games. If we can win 2 of three, we'll be right back in the hunt.
