We should take a moment to acknowledge the work being done by Bruce and Dan to keep our damn good culture intact. It's important to recognize that not all players need the selfish motivation of "playing for a contender".

For those that may care, the chances of us going 9-7 are 75,606-1. The chances of us going 1-15 are 19-1. Our best chances to pick up wins are against the Giants (55%), Jets (52%), and Lions (35%).

Don't forget the success our running game is having. Guice is in the middle of a career best season running the ball and today was just shy of 20 yards away from the best game of his career.

Well, if we're going to keep doing this, then I'll mention that going through FiveThirtyEight's projections, the odds of us going 10-6 this season are 507,068-1. The odds of us going 1-15 are 23-1. Our three best chances for a win are against the Giants (57%), the Jets (49%) and the Lions (37%).

But isn't that how we find all our starting tight ends?

The odds of us going 11-5 have been cut to 996,037-1.

After noodling around on fivethirtyeight.com, I decided to take a look at their NFL predictions. For those that don't go there, they've got a system that gives percentage win chances for every game the rest of the year based off of team strength. So, for example, they estimate we have a 49% chance of winning in Miami this weekend, but only a 27% chance of beating the Niners at home next week, etc. For what it's worth, they had us as 6-10 material before the season, and that forecast has now slipped to 3-13. Anyway, the important thing is that yes, they believe it is in fact possible that we can finish 11-5. Of course, they give odds of 2,038,459-1 on that happening. The odds we finish 0-16 currently sit at 62-1 according to their calculations. So they're saying there's a chance...

We've got one; we just need to sign another linebacker to replace him on the defense.

Morgan Moses just saw this, forgot to read the word "accountable", and picked up three more penalties.

Yeah, but we're not nearly as talented as that powerhouse 2010 Browns team.

Don't listen to him, Reaper Skins. He's just a shill for Blue Raspberry Kool Aid.

Great for those double TE sets!

We should probably sit all our quarterbacks until the O-Line is better. Move Doctson to QB, Flowers to WR, slot in Adonis Alexander at LG and let it roll.
