Ok.... Looking at our schedule, we could very well end up picking inside the top 10 in the 2016 draft. After that brutal stretch, we aren't making it to the playoffs nor having a winning record. Not being negative, just stating facts.
OK. If we win a few of those games than, mathematically, we won't be eliminated from the playoffs, hence, we would still be in the playoff hunt.
Bengals, Steelers, Browns,49ers, Cardinals - I reckon we win 4 of those.
People act like the Ravens didn't just start two games on the west coast. The goal is to split on the road, go undefeated at home. That goal becomes tougher now, but I'd be more worried if they didn't win their first game at home.
