to be realistic you also need to look at the other teams across the NFC and especially in our division. We already are out of contention with the whiners, they beat us 2 x's...that could be 1 WC spot we lost on. Haven't played the hawks yet, but they are scoring more points in any 1 game then a 3 game span for us, kinda hard to consider a split much less a sweep.
Then you need to look at the other division the NFC East has 3 teams well in front of us record wise.....Looks like the South and North will just have division winners.....so I can't see a 9-8 team even smelling a WC spot...to go 10-7 would mean we go 9-1 the rest of the way...........which 1 team beats us? hawks, chiefs, packers.....I just don't see it.
It could happen but IMO that would be maybe the greatest comeback season of all time, by anyone.......
