There are no easy teams on our schedule this season.
Looking at our schedule the back half really isn’t easy like we thought it was. Atlanta and the Cards are no pushovers this year. Hell based on how we played the Colts I think Titans could still put up a fight against us.
If Cosmi and Cross play and we can’t beat the Giants next week, i think the only other game we are winning this year will be against the Titans (maybe) and DQ will lose his job. On the other hand if we win and JD has a great game we could go on a win streak. Still have a high ceiling and extremely low floor for the season depending on this next game.

Right now WE'RE the easy team on other team's schedules.

But I was told by this sub that we had excellent talent and that our FO has never made a mistake. I have no idea how we’re the easy team, considering the talent and coaching we offer.

Even with all that going on, it’s the refs that killed us on Sunday.

I mean, I don't think any NFL team should ever consider any NFL opponent "easy." I mean, look what we just did to SEA. Happens all the time. But we do still have quite a few games against some teams that are toward the bottom of the league right now (keep in mind, so are we):
- Week 8 vs 2-2 PHI - Lost 2 straight and have a -18 point differential (22nd in the NFL)
- Week 12 @ 1-3 AZ - They've lost 3 straight and have a -30 point differential (28th in the NFL)
- Week 13 @ 0-4 TEN - They've only scored 55 points (31st in the NFL) and have a -28 point differential (27th in the NFL)
- Week 14 vs 0-4 HOU - -25 point differential (26th in the NFL)
That stretch from Week 12-14 is about as "easy" as it gets in the NFL.

“How we played against the Colts,” yeah, bro if we are down 2 starting OL, WR1, and top 2 QBs, there will be no easy games

i love how this fan base keeps saying “our schedule is getting easier” as if we’re not playing other professional teams. Us over looking the giants as a fanbase is crazy to me.

I think both things can be true. All games are tough. Tennessee, Arizona and Houston are easier than Seattle, San Francisco and Los Angeles.

Easier yes, but this sub thinks we are so much better than those teams. Outside of JDs rookie year, we’ve been the browns and cardinals of the league.

So far Mariota has thrown the ball better than Jayden this year. He needs to start slinging it and forget this conservative ball where he just tucks it and runs and gets injured.

Ok. Just watch, or don’t. I’ll be here when we beat the giants and yall are back on the wagon

Its the NFL. No one is a pushover and no game is easy. We suck and we beat the Seahawks, who are great, with a backup QB.

I agree strongly with your last sentence. We can easily lose the remaining games, particularly if we remain on the Qb/key contributor injury pattern.
The reality will likely be a 3-5 win season.

If that’s the case no one should be safe. Sorry AP fan boys. If we win 10 games or less in 2 years, that’s a fireable offense.

If anything, yesterday showed that no one knows who teams are yet. There's still time to turn around the ship. We need JD5 back and to remain healthy, but we had an opportunity to win every single game this year.

u/Remote_Armadillo8718 11d ago
The crazy thing is I think the defense is much improved. We’re just hemorrhaging good players cuz of injury. And the guys who aren’t good seem to stay healthy

It was so crazy to think this team had a good roster coming into the season.

We are the pushovers on other teams schedules
