Is Arians even capable of change anymore? They seem like they're stuck in the same mold they were three years ago.

It feels like there's a hundred ways to answer this but, the cardinals added like half a playbook just for david johnson, and when we got peterson we instantly went from like 70% passing down to 50% and further to 40% this week after palmer got hurt. The radio broadcast mentioned they were going more with zone run plays than the previous week, which I couldn't really tell you without a notepad and the game footage but I'll take their word for it, so they're constantly changing strategies and schemes.

The 6-6 game was actually really dope cause both defenses were on point and the missed field goals were funny. This game is gonna be sloppy, low energy, bad football.

@ ARI

@ SF

@ JAX

There isn't a single gimme game left after the Niners. 10-6 might be the best-case scenario.

Seahawks may be facing Jimmy G, though.

They'll still win, mind you, but his good looks may stun enough of the Seahawks' defensive players that things get sketchy for a while.

I expect Seattle to win both games against Arizona and the last one against the 49ers. That puts us at 8.

Atlanta? Tough to tell, depends on if Earl is healthy. Toss up.

Philly? Wentz is the real deal but it's at home. Toss up.

JAX? Bort is bad but their defense could make RW's life hell. Toss up.

Rams? It's Seahawks and Rams, who the hell knows what happens.

Dallas? I'd expect us to lose that game.

So yeah assuming we win half of those toss up games we are probably at 10-6, which is probably enough for a WC this year depending on if the Rams continue to win out.

HOU @ LA

NO @ LA

I think the hardest remaining games are NO, PHI and @SEA. Minnesota reminds me of Jacksonville except with a worse QB and I think the Rams match up against the Titans well.

You will beat New Orleans because the Saints are having a good season and it’s the Rams job to make sure they pick up an extra loss that keeps them from a much better playoff position.

Atlanta isn't hot garbage, but they're warm garbage at best. With even a mild serving of RWBS that's a win.

I think I can quietly accept wanting good things to happen to the Rams this year just to permanently cement the Chargers as a total failure in LA. Next year, though, it'll be back to full-throttle gently caress LA.

Atlanta in Seattle is MNF, and the Seahawks tend to play better during prime time. That's also the week after they're TNF, so they get even more days of rest.

I mean, I’m not, but I do go to some games, and it’s been pretty obvious that a lot of the seats are empty because people just hang out on the concourse and decks all game, so I’m not sure Jed cares? Other than it looking bad on TV; he’s still getting the money.

Nah Seahawks always do really well in Arizona. Instead of the usual 30+ point blowout it'll probably be an ugly 17 point victory.
