I know it looked daunting at the beginning of the season, but many of these teams are having tough starts to the season. I see a lot of winnable games.

u/Wormus 3d ago

Agree. Just need to get healthy and play our game.

u/OwenLincolnFratter Greg Olsen 3d ago

I still think it looks incredibly daunting. Even the teams that are having “tough starts” are .500 or better and have incredible defenses. Like Baltimore, Seattle, Denver. And even the bengals are still good.

u/DamnItHeelsGood 2d ago

By no means does it look easy, I’m just saying there looks to be more winnable games in there than I expected a few weeks ago.

u/Papagayo_blanco Greg Olsen 3d ago

I don't know about you jabronis, but that looks like 15-2 to me.

u/Veebsa 3d ago

That’s all I see here!

u/slipbegin 3d ago

Not nearly as daunting as it looked at the beginning of the season. Really helps that Ravens, Broncos, and Seahawks games are all played at home too.

u/drectorscut89 3d ago

Id love to see us rip off 5 wins in a row after the bye. That at Green Bay game will definitely be the toughest one of the next 5.

u/the_big_sadIRL 3d ago

The game that worries me the most is honestly either the Vikings game or the last Atlanta game. I know Bryce is Atlanta’s daddy but anything can happen in divisional games, we all know that

u/FeloniousFalafel 3d ago

Bryce's release time is keeping Flores up at night. Worry more about the high power offenses. The teams with bad offense/good defense will be a lot easier

5

u/the_big_sadIRL 3d ago

I keep holding out hope our very expensive defense will start to click.. I hope they do cause the raw talent is unbelievable for our D

u/Curolina Big Cat 3d ago

It seems to all come back to the LB play. (and injuries) Lloyd has looked good.... Definitely a huge improvement over last year already.

1

u/godsstupidestwarrior Bryce Up Son 3d ago

Is he back in this week?

3

u/Curolina Big Cat 3d ago

He played against the Lions. He should be good to go. I was talking about all the other injuries (Horn, Jackson, Scourton, Cam Jackson etc.)

u/BreakImaginary1661 2d ago

Raw talent? They have the dudes that are legitimately very good at what they do; DB, Lloyd, and Phillips, with some young talent that could be good. Our two starting corners are pretty damn good too obviously, but they don’t help when they are on the sideline with injuries. I just don’t see a dearth of talent on that side of the ball. Lots of dudes that could grow into their potential but few that would be considered high end, proven talents.

u/kafka_lite 51 3d ago

We have to mop up on the division.

26

u/9_Nightwing_1 30 Seasons 3d ago

10-11 wins is achievable this season. Teams like Philadelphia, Green Bay and Baltimore aren't as scary as thought before games were played. We'll see. 4-2 in division is a must.

11

u/NumerousStick5395 3d ago

I’m certainly not chalking Denver up as an auto loss either.

7

u/QuitCallingNewsrooms 3d ago

Every season is a war of attrition, but this year is just nuts. Hurts going out on an Eagles roster that has maybe a few starters that have played every game so far? Whatever bug is up Mayfield's ass that made him pedestrian after getting a $150M contract? Green Bay at times like they just heard of football after showing up at the stadium. Bo Nix has confidence problems. Seahawks don't look like they won it all last year. Lamar's ankle seems to be built out of papier mache, but the Raven are one of two genuinely tough matchups for us the rest of the year. Vikings being the other, which is wild to say for a team led by ... Kyler Murray.

The NFL is a weird place, man

4

u/PretentiousCrustacea 3d ago

I don't see how anyone sees anything other than 15-2 honestly

3

u/exenn_ 3d ago

6 of our next 8 games will have playoff implications.

1

u/BreakImaginary1661 2d ago

It’s the NFL, every game has playoff implications.

1

u/exenn_ 2d ago

Every game does not. There are two conferences.

1

u/BreakImaginary1661 2d ago

Overall record isn’t the first thing that determines playoff position?

1

u/exenn_ 2d ago

No.

division winners get seeds 1–4 regardless of whether a wild-card team has a better record.

the No. 1 seed in each conference receives a first-round bye, so winning the division is valuable because it puts the team in a spot for that top seed.

3

u/WoWMHC 3d ago

My heart says 14-15 wins but my brain is saying 7-8 wins lol

1

u/godsstupidestwarrior Bryce Up Son 3d ago

That part 😂

2

u/Odd-Flower2744 3d ago

Every time I fall into the trap of thinking wow we can win 4 out of the next 5 we lay an egg then win some game we shouldn’t.

Already happened when I penciled in a W vs the Browns

1

u/DeusVultSaracen Bryce Up Son 2d ago

Yeah. I don't trust the team implicitly this week but we didn't let a backup pants us in Week 2, and that was divisional, so I think we'll take care of business (probably still with some anxiety).

The one I've gone from confident to bad feeling about in the past couple weeks is the Packers. Short week, primetime, Lambeau, they'll want revenge. Watson and Golden will probably dominate our depleted secondary. Micah will likely be back. Just doesn't seem like the matchup for us.

2

u/Emergency_Spite_8778 3d ago

I love what Bryce is doing. I am as optimistic as I've been in years. This schedule scares me.

2

u/Offer_No T-Mac 3d ago

We can win most of these games I mean
Philly, yes
Tampa it’ll be hard to do it twice but yes
Green Bay, yes it’ll be tough in lanbeu on Thursday night but I think gb is just as good if not worse than us
Denver, no
New orleans yes don’t shit around and we sweep
Baltimore, idk about Lamar Jackson so this is a maybe (1/2)

2

u/Offer_No T-Mac 3d ago

Minnesota, if we keep this high scoring offense going yes
Cincy, kinda a weird call but probably not
Pittsburgh, yes we should definitely win this game but it is against Rico
Seattle, probably not but maybe at this point in the season
ATL: we SHOULD win again at home

2

u/Remintz Cookout 3d ago

“But it is against rico” he’s deuce bro I don’t think we need to worry about him lol

1

u/Agosta 3d ago

Got way too big of a head over two games.

1

u/DeusVultSaracen Bryce Up Son 2d ago

Probably not but I bet the Cowboys were saying the same thing before he dropped 200 on em

2

u/Superb-Struggle1162 Coke Head 3d ago

bo nix looked like ass last night. They squeak out wins, but not bc of the offense.

1

u/Agosta 3d ago

Their defense is gonna swallow us.

1

u/Offer_No T-Mac 3d ago

Maybe not

1

u/Agosta 3d ago

Press X to doubt

1

u/Offer_No T-Mac 3d ago

Yeah maybe t Mac can pac up ps2

1

u/DeusVultSaracen Bryce Up Son 2d ago

IIRC, Jalen Coker was the only receiver to score a TD on PSII in 2024.

1

u/sluggmilkshakes 2d ago

Depends if Pat Surtain is back.

1

u/Lnp816 3d ago

Idk, denver hasn't been doing the best despite having a winning record, if we can get the run game going we've got a chance I think, and Pittsburgh im not super worried about dowdle rn, he hasn't been popping off this season either but that could change by the time we play him so we'll see

1

u/Offer_No T-Mac 3d ago

I just consider that Denver has been good against good teams us idk

1

u/Nova_KonYuko Panthers 2026 12-5 Keep Pounding 3d ago

Bro we r beating Broncos idgaf what anyone says I’m going to the game and panthers r undefeated since i been to their games

1

u/Booga-_- 3d ago

Fuck the Falcons and Bucks.

1

u/jesuswasahipster Kalil Bear 3d ago

I like our chances in a lot of these games. The South is very winnable and outside of the 49ers and Vikings, the NFC is wide open.

1

u/vanilla_w_ahintofcum 3d ago

I see some really good defenses on the schedule. Hopefully our offense keeps rolling.

1

u/combatmurse 3d ago

It’s going to be a rough one, but if we can win it will solidify we are a legit contender and Bryce is the real deal. This year is make or break for him and i think canales as well. If we can get our starters back and stay healthy i think we have a great year!

1

u/WaltzIntelligent9801 Retro Logo 3d ago

Ngl... This looks very 10-winnable. Cautiously optimistic 😂

1

u/Potential-Ad1139 3d ago

We can achieve over .500

1

u/Shhhitsme23 3d ago

Should be 3-1 right now but hey 3 game win streak incoming

1

u/Agosta 3d ago

If we beat the Eagles the Browns loss doesn't really matter tbh. That was an expected win/loss flip before the season started for me.

1

u/carolinafan36 3d ago

I see 8-9 wins max and I hope I'm wrong

1

u/DumplingBoiii Bryce Up Son 3d ago

I smell a winning record.

1

u/Luissalinas98 Ice Up Son 2d ago

If I’m being honest probably 9-8 or 10-7 but man I’d love an 11 or 12 win season

1

u/RozRL Division Champs 2025 2d ago

Our schedule looks much easier now than it did before the season for me. Eagles, Packers, Broncos, Seahawks, Saints, and Bucs all look worse than I expected them to be. Obviously we won’t win all those games, but I feel much better than I did coming into this year.

1

u/Uncle_Snake43 2d ago

There a many, many winnable games left.

1

u/BreakImaginary1661 2d ago

9 wins and the division seems reasonable with a sneaky 11 wins possible.

1

u/BreakImaginary1661 2d ago

A defensive backfield with the injuries ours is dealing with plus really bad OL play (Bryce has been insanely good when you look at pass pro numbers) isn’t a recipe for season long success.

1

u/I_Hate_Wake_Boats49 Bucket 2d ago

Next 3 games are definitely winnable. Honestly the Broncos, Seahawks and the Vikings are the only two I done feel confident about in this whole schedule.

1

u/mazzotta70 Beason 2d ago

8-4

1

u/carterallan86 Carolina Reaper 2d ago

3 games coming up that if we can get any kind of defence going are winnable. 5-2 is achievable and would be insanely good. Broncos, Saints and Ravens will be a tougher run.

1

u/11_25_13_TheEdge Cam Newton 2d ago

9-8 Division winners. Take it to the bank.

1

u/Red-Panther17 1d ago

The fan in me says 15-2. The real in me says 11-6 which is still on top of division
