Given how the Buccaneers seem to perform at times that is a very difficult three games. The Saints could take the division.

Do you have any info on Evans, Godwin and Fournette's injuries?

I know AB and Edwards will be back next week and AWJ and Sherman should also be back.

Won’t know for a couple days.

As I’ve said before, Godwin seemed to pass his Lachman’s test and was cutting on the sideline after the big hit. Doubt imaging gets performed unless he reports pain/instability in coming days. Other concern is his neck/brain. They probably were cautious in keeping him out. Nothing was mentioned about a concussion.

Fournette and Evans both had hammies. ME has a history with those. I’m guessing he misses at least a week because reinjury is common and they need him for playoff push. No idea how severe it was.

No idea on Fournette.

This touches on what I was going to say. The bright side is that Godwin didn't seem to suffer a catastrophic injury.

We lost badly but there is still hope we could be fully healthy by the playoffs, or at least close to it.

Tom Brady will never go 0-3 in this scenario

To crib from Ichy's picture last week (because it was too good to lose), this is another tremendous bright side: The first trophy was won when we weren't a #1 seed and we had to beat the Eagles on the road, the team that had owned us. The second trophy was won when we had to win three games on the road against division champions and we did it anyway, beating the Saints and the Packers in their houses. We need to get healthy again, but there is still time . We could still win a third one.

We can still finish the season 0-3 and not even make the playoffs...

I was told that that wasn’t possible.

I've played the then-four loss scenario in which the Saints took the division and I couldn't figure out how to slip past the seventh seed. It must be possible, I guess. But I'm looking on the bright side, we could also go 7-0 and add a third piece of hardware to the two above. Neither is likely, so I choose the happier not-likely.

The main scenario I got. You need a 49ers and WFT streak.

If we wanted to win the Super Bowl we had to get swept by the Saints in the regular season.

I think you're in deep "doo doo" in 2 weeks...

But all kidding aside, every team needs a game like that on the way to the playoffs. Maybe not quite that bad, but a game to keep you more "grounded", that' there's always work to do. I wouldn't get too crazy over it, but with a very manageable schedule remaining, it will be fine.

As the most outspoken JETS fan in here, those games are no fun. We play 15 of them every year (so it seems).
