Really? If Moore comes back next week, I don't see why it's impossible. We almost won this game with probably the most incompetent QB performance I've seen the ducks put up in at least a decade, possibly more.
I think we could Iowa-ball our way to wins over the rest of our schedule minus Ohio State, the best team is probably Nebraska at home next week. Not saying that's the most likely scenario, but the rest of our schedule minus Ohio State, Nebraska, and Northwestern have looked various shades of incompetent already. It's certainly conceivable.
The inconceivable scenario is the people acting like we could win out and still make the playoff. That's just cope.
What I'm afraid of is rushing Dante to come back before he's ready and either seeing him get injured again or having him totally shit the bed and be totally ineffective in a way like Raiola was today. If Dante is forced to come back like that then I don't see us winning too many of the remaining games.
Well, even under a best-case scenario, I see very little evidence this team won't drop at least 3 more games, and probably more. That's under any possible QB scenario, even a best case. I'm only mildly confident of wins against Michigan State and Washington at this point.

This team is not winning 9 games under any conceivable scenario. I think we're going to be lucky to be .500.
