Right here, right now . . . Are we making the playoffs? I'm going to say yes. This team has been playing sound, fundamental football on both sides of the ball. I think they're going to do this.
In game panic mode setting in! I take back everything I said about not wanting to draft a QB! Not really, but this is the type of lackluster performance that lets doubt creep back in.
Like Wayne Fontes coaxing a winning streak out to save his job in the 90's, these boys are on a roll and should win on Saturday. With all the key pieces missing for the Jets and how good this team has played the past month I think we are going into New York and winning. A win against the Jets sets us on the course for the playoffs as I think we have a real shot to win out against some very bad opponents.
No, I wouldn't want to do that. We are just in a unique situation this particular year given all the draft capital we have to make a move that nets us both an elite defender and starting QB on a rookie wage scale.
I trust Brad Holmes and I am all for keeping Jared Goff at this point if that's what the front office and coaching staff decide. He's played well enough to stick around. It is just food for thought to think of other scenarios like this.
