Fellas, this is serious business.

With what is at stake, let's lay it out and break down these remaining schedules.

@ New York Giants
@ Kansas City Chiefs
WASHINGTON REDSKINS
BUFFALO BILLS
@ Dallas Cowboys
OAKLAND RAIDERS
PHILADELPHIA EAGLES
@ Buffalo Bills
@ New England Patriots
NEW YORK JETS

Indianapolis Colts

@ New Orleans Saints
@ Tennessee Titans
ATLANTA FALCONS
JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS
CAROLINA PANTHERS
@ New England Patriots
@ Baltimore Ravens
TENNESSEE TITANS
HOUSTON TEXANS
@ Jacksonville Jaguars

Not a lot of wins here for either team, obviously. But I do feel like we have the tougher schedule.

With our schedule, I see two, possibly three wins here. Here's what we need to root for and I know it's hard. We need the Jets to win. The Jets NEED to stay close with the Patriots so that the Patriots aren't resting players late in the season. This goes for the Bills, Patriots, and Jets all-around. We play all three of these teams in the final three weeks of the season and we need all three at full-strength.

I do not think we beat the Broncos on Tebow Day. Gator fans will from all over the great state of Florida will pile into campers and head down the turnpike, occupy Wal-Mart across from Sun Life for some fresh jorts and root on their phony God. This is actually beginning to look more and more like a brilliant business move by Ross in an effort to Suck for Luck rather than sell a few thousand tickets.

For some strange reason, I have the Thanksgiving Day game against the Cowboys down as a win. Maybe it's just me being able to recall the 1993 turkey day game like it was yesterday, but I'm feeling win here. Other than that, I'm thinking we beat the Jets in the final week of the season IF they're resting players. The Chiefs can be very tough to beat at home when you're this bad so that one cannot be guaranteed.

The Colts schedule, I see three to four wins. Jacksonville on that schedule twice helps A LOT. Tennessee is a very beatable team as well. The AFC South is a LOUSY division. It's equally as bad as the NFC West last season. Us being in the AFC East and the Colts being in the AFC South is what kills us if it comes down to a tie.

I know it's tough to be positive, but this "Suck for Luck" campaign can actually happen. And believe me, if we land Andrew Luck after going 0-16, it will take you guys all of four games next season to forget all about losing every game this season if that happens. And in the end, JCane will carry you all, kick and screaming, whining and crying, to better days. Just have to be patient, realize what we are today and that it's not going to get any better with Pat Devlin, Matt Moore, or Chad Henne. It's going to take a legitimate, big-time, major league, NFL elite talent QB to get us to the places that the Green Bay Packers and Pittsburgh Steelers are these days.

And believe me, it's worth it.
 
I'm with ya mang. It's totally worth it.

I'm tired of our qb situation. About time we invested in a first rd qb.

Though is there a chance that Luck will stay in school next year?
 
Manning is not on Injured Reserve yet. If he comes back in November or December, the Colts can easily pick up some wins there. Especially at home against the Jets in week 17. Cross your fingers for a speedy recovery!!
 
They have the Jags twice and the Panthers...those could all be wins...

We might beat the Chiefs...maybe....but honestly...0-16 is looking really good with Moore...

Cross fingers nothing...pray for the man...
 
This is a race for the ages. We have unquestionably the softer schedule. It's hard to extrapolate how many wins winless teams will have. We don't even know if they can win a game. But I don't see more than 3 wins on the Colts sched. We're just gonna have to find a way to pull out some losses. We've got to stay the course. Keep pushing downward. And if we don't dig deep at all and try our least... we might just have a chance.

He's a Senior graduating this year.

He's only a redshirt junior, meaning he could in theory return to Stanford for a year of graduate school. And that would truly suck. Peyton did the same thing, and it cost the Jets a shot at him. They ended up trading the pick to the Rams. Even funnier was that the Jets would eventually take James Farrior with their new pick and SHELVED him for 4 years, until 2001. Then he busted out of jail and became a Steeler, becoming the Potsie we all love.

Academically he's a Senior who cares about his education. He attends Stanford. You're not going to find a one-year Master's program at Stanford.

:lol:
 
After tonights game it´s pretty easy to say we win 2 at best(Denver and K.C). If we lose on Sunday i bet we go 0-16.The Jets are a 7-9 Team and they beat us easily. at least the Rams now have a WR and we can hope they win a couple.
 
Jacksonville isn't all that bad. Their defense has actually been playing well and they gave the Steelers trouble on Sunday. I can see the Colts beating them once, but no more than that.

To me, as I've said before, it hinges on Peyton Manning. It might seem ludicrous for all of us in SFL mode that he would play this year but I think he's reading the tea leaves and is willing to do anything to make sure that Luck doesn't become a Colt. Jim Irsay has came out with a series of tweets talking about how a previous season can bleed into another one so while maybe the Colts don't have anything to play for this year there are at least elements in that organization who consider it important to end strong this year if they can. A CBS Sports story corroborated this with sources saying that Manning has communicated with the front office his desire to play this year and the fact that they have given him assurances that they do consider winning games this year important.

Irsay has put the odds of Manning playing at, IIRC, "slightly less than 50/50." Their bye is week 11, and that's where I think the rubber is going to meet the road on this thing. Let's all hope we're all hearing right around then that he's ready to come back.

Because if Manning doesn't play, I don't think we're getting the #1 pick outside of trading for it. The Colts are a worse team than us and don't play an easier schedule from her on in, IMO. The Vikings are the worst team I've seen play this year but they've already won a game and Ponder looked good enough the other night he might win two more down the stretch. His ability to scramble and execute the bootleg passing game will help their running game, I think. Plus he's more accurate on short throws than McNabb (who for my money has been the worst QB in football this year), and that could help them sustain more drives.

Two wins seems about right. But you know there's almost always that game where you beat someone you shouldn't for whatever reason. That's one reason I circled Dallas.
 
I get the whole suck for luck program some of you are on. Personaly I want him too, but I am not rooting for us to suck. I just cant do that. However regardless of if this team has my support in sucking or not I think our prospects at sucking are really good.

I can say in all honesty I only see 2 wins here at best. One of the pick-ems and one surprise win.
 
It's not just the Colts we have to worry about.

There are 8 teams with 1 or less wins this season.
