The way the NFC conference is at this point in the season, 7-9 would qualify for a sixth seed. We have to win our remaining games and hope those teams who are in the same boat as us lose out.
There is no reason why we should be 5-7 heading into the 13th week of the season. We should at the very least be 7-5. We start off moderately at best in games, then once the 3rd quarter starts, we show our jeckle and Hyde side. Inconsistency and poor execution is the reason why we're not a winning team right now. But then again, 9-7 is reachable.
