Remaining games that should be wins (not accounting for Tomlin's uncanny ability to suck against shitty teams): Bengals (x2) - should win both, Dolphins (who probably couldn't beat Clemson right now), Colts, Browns (win at least one of those), Cardinals, Jets (pulling fans from the stands to fill out their 53-man roster), and steal one from the the Ravens.
That's 8 wins, go 8-8. Steal the other one from Cleveland or take out Buffalo at home, now it's a 9-7 or 10-6 team. Playoffs? Probably not, but stranger things have happened. But if the floor on the season ends up being 8-8 - then the Minkah Fitzpatrick trade looks brilliant in hindsight.
Secretly, I'm kinda hoping for 6-10 or 7-9 so the Tomlin regime is either on an extreme hotseat, or mercifully sent packing.
