Can we have a Nationals type run?

Only if our pitching improves...

Here is who I think we will lose to: Dallas, New England, Baltimore. We might just go 11-5... and might not make the playoffs.

If we go 11-5 with losses to Dallas, and Philly last week, that means we are 11-5, with a 9-3 conference record. Good luck missing out with that record. We’ve set ourselves up for tie breakers. Also, if your scenario came through, that also means we beat Cleveland. I haven’t looked it up, but that puts them at 6 losses, even if they win every other game. So we beat them. Tennessee, Jax, and Oakland have 4 losses already. We beat Tennessee. So remove them. That leaves Jax and Oakland, who can each only lose 1 more just to tie. Again, I don’t know what their conference record would be, but I imagine it would be worse. 
 

I just looked. Oakland has 2 conference losses already with KC and Houston. They play KC again. I assume that would be 3 losses. 
 

Jax also has 2 conference losses. They also have a game against Chargers, so one of those two would have to lose. And chargers are already at 5 losses I believe anyways. 
 

So basically, 11-5 is a lock at this point. The only way it wouldn’t be is if we beat the Cowboys, but lose to Browns instead. And even then, 8-4 conference record would still be tough to beat

That's an interesting post.  Thanks for that; I hope you're correct.  Starting to see the finish line through the haze...

Broncos quarterback Drew Lock has recovered from a thumb injury but he’s still on injured reserve. Denver is expected to have him return to practice after their Week 10 bye.

Denver here wk 12  Nov 24

 

Bills @ Dallas wk 13  Nov 28  thursday , Thanksgiving

 

Interesting that we get Denver at home before the Thanksgiving game but Dallas goes at New England and then has to turn around on a short week.

I thought he was vastly underrated up and through to the time of his incredible super bowl triumph. I thought Ozzie hung him out to dry immediately after that, and then, sometime after,  his skills diminished.

this must be the softest schedule in our history

Easiest schedule of any team I ever remember. Could hurt come playoff time if they draw a tough round one matchup. But honestly zero excuse not to make the playoffs this year. Even an average team talent wise should be able to squeak in this year.

11-5 puts us in as a WC with the other one going to the Texans/Colts.

 

Also, do we get to pick who we play?  NO!  So I’m sick of hearing we haven’t played anyone.  Unless we get to choose what diff does it make?

Let's hope Allen doesn't turn out to be another Kyle Allen or Gardner Minshew
