Message: <blockquote data-quote="Magooch" data-source="post: 1053746" data-attributes="member: 17987">It’s quite literally just the standings and nothing more. There are three teams ahead of us in the NFC standings. We have had five chances to get a win against one of them and have failed to do so five times.  Odds are that we will need to beat at least one of them, probably two (and depending how things fall, I think it’s even possible all three) to get to the Super Bowl. I don’t want to sound like a total downer but I think it’s just being realistic: why should I believe that after failing to so five times that a sixth chance will be the ticket? Getting a single win against Detroit or Minnesota (or even Philly) wouldn’t necessarily mean we’re conclusively “better” than them, but it’d at least make it easier to feel like we could be confident in knowing we could beat them. The Commanders have a win vs a “better” team in the Eagles. The Rams have a win vs a “better” team in the Vikings. The Buccaneers have a win vs a “better” team in the Lions. We have none. I’d feel a lot more confident if we were able to say “We beat ____ once and can beat them again” rather than having to say “we played them close once or twice and if everything comes together we could win”. I think there’s a lot of things about our team to be excited about, a lot of promise for the future, but I think it’s not too unreasonable or pessimistic to say that we’re not in the top “tier” right now. It is what it is. We’ve had plenty of chances to prove that isn’t the case and haven’t been able to do so. Obviously I’ll hope for the best come playoff time…and again I’ll acknowledge that IF we play our best in all phases we can beat anyone… but I’ll also acknowledge that IMO this is not a particularly likely outcome based on what we’ve seen thus far. Hope they prove me wrong.</blockquote>
