In the 5 game stretch of winnable games they just completed they went 1-4 and got outscored 138-88.


At home to the undefeated Chiefs. This is one of those games they win out of nowhere isn't it. Or lose 30-10.

Their season depended on the stretch following their 2 game road trip to LA and Bal. To have come back 1-1 from that they had a shot to realistically beat Car, Cle, Den and aim to split Pitt and Rams. Get to the bye with a winning record at 5-4 or better if they could split KC and Cin. Instead they got beat by Carolina and lose close games vs Pitt and Rams because their offense turned the ball over with 2 fumbles by RB and Minschews picks and fumble vs Rams. Both games turned on a raiders turnover.

After the bye games vs Miami, NO, Den and LAC at home. And steal one vs TB or Atl to get to 10 wins.

This is a team that was 10-7 with rich B but mark davis hired NE people and went 6-11, 8-9 and now more than likely another losing season.

New QB
Well, he's just there to be the Backup. I don't think there is a connection between Arthur Smith and Getsy is there that the 2 offenses from ATL to LV would be similar. So, he's got to learn the playbook. Their QB3 is a PS undrafted rookie from South Alabama by way of Toledo.

In the AFC, right now KC has home field. Beat Bal in the opener. They are still due to play Buffalo later in the year. I think only Bal or Buf can beat them but they can't make the mistakes they have in the past. If Cincy gets in, they always have a shot with Burrow of upsetting KC.

On the NFC side of things, hard to bet against Detroit. Though, I do feel that they need DL help. Does Campbell make more thoughtful vs aggressive decisions come PO? Play the score and situation vs just go for it cause that's who they are?

SF a lot of injuries this season, so not sure they can go on the road to win, especially if they get down.
