I think that 9-7 team will sneak into the NFC playoffs as the #6 team

Can the Falcons go 8-3 the rest of the way, of course. The team has suffered some major injuries, especially on defense, and it seems unlikely though. Last night they started not one but TWO LBs that Ive never heard of. Like ever.

That's almost impossible given the amount of football, college and pro, that I watch. Folks like to focus on the big name injuries (mostly due to FF) but the real nuts and bolts are missing OL and DEF.

Look at the Browns. Losing Joe Haden > not having Richardson. Its a fact. Hell, they put some scrub journeyman at QB who was playing better than anyone that they had taking snaps for years. Including 1st round picks.

Yes, Weeden is a big downgrade from Hoyer. Cleveland will win in spite of him rather than because of him.
