I still don't believe we will make the playoffs barring a nice winning streak Ace, but as long as we aren't mathematically eliminated there is still hope.

Minny: Iffy, Brett Favre is either hit or miss and against our secondary he could have a decent day.
NY: Iffy, especially considering we haven't beat them since our late season winning streak in 2007.
Bucs: Iffy, we always have a hard time against the Bucs and they have a good team this year with lots of good young talent.
Cowboys: Iffy, they've looked good in 2 consecutive weeks against the Lions and Giants, and we're not going to be facing the same team with the same attitude they had in week 1.
Jags: Iffy, just because they have a decent team and I'm thinking this will be a close game.
Giants: See the first Giants post above.

So in the end I can pretty much easily see us winning or losing every single one of these games. It all depends on our attitude, the right combination of preperation and luck, but it is doable. Still though our team has been very inconsistent this season and I wouldn't be suprised if this continued, and we finished 8-8. Not to mention there is a lot of competition for the 6 playoff spots in the NFC this year.

Other competition for 6 playoff spots:

Eagles
Giants
--------
Saints
Falcons
Bucs
--------
Bears
Packers
--------
NFC West winner, one of those teams has to take that title. Might be the Rams.

So as you can see that's 8 teams right there, and we do have the edge over Bears and Packers if it comes down to tiebreakers, but Saints/Falcons is out of our hands and our game against the Bucs will be huge if we need to get in over them. It definitely won't be easy and if we don't make the playoffs I won't be too disappointed, because I'd rather reload and get better for next season anyways, and if we did make the playoffs I don't think we'd survive long.
