The NFC playoff race is still wide open and up for grabs. With Green Bay and Arizona losing QBs for long periods of time and the Cowboys staring down a Zeek suspension there are a lot of flawed teams ahead of us and we're currently only 1.5 games out of the WC and 2 games out of the division.
IF we can somehow figure out how to keep teams under 20 points a game, we still have a chance to turn this season around and perhaps sneak into the playoffs with a 9-7 record like we had last year which wasn't enough. This year I think 9 wins will be enough.
Just trying to look on the bright side, but it's a pointless argument for our playoff chances if our defense doesn't turn it around.
