It's funny because while I definitely think we have a pretty good shot against the Steelers(at home on primetime), Giants (home), and Ravens, which are really the only two games we have left that will be against teams who'll finish with winning records (possibly Redskins too)...the rest of the games, especially those in the division are going to feel a lot like trap games, something we haven't really been in the situation of in so long..
I went into the season "overly optimistic" some would say, but I still think it's crazy that if we keep playing at this level 13-3 is absolutely within reach, and an unheard of 15-1 while insane, wouldn't even be a complete miracle.
that said, 12-4 or 11-5 wouldn't even upset me aside from the feeling directly after the losses obviously.
The Packers and Patriots are easily #1 and #2. Their offenses can run up the score in a hurry. Fortunately we don't have to play them in the regular season.
I think we can handle our conference games but Seattle in Seattle could bite us in the butt if we're not careful.
I'll predict wins against the Steelers and Giants at home.
The Ravens on turkey day could be VERY tough. They're a running team like us so again we should be able to win that one... I hope.
I see one, possibly two more losses... maybe.
So yeah I agree 15-1 IS insane but it's quite possible.
