49ers
tacks x2 
Houston again 
Browns 
Bengals
Ravens 

The two “easy” games left are Carolina and Tampa Bay. If TB has something to play for which is likely in that division as no one seems to want to win it, that could be a tough out as well. 

What are your thoughts? Can we still make the playoffs? 

I think we still do but may be settling for a WC. 
Why? The Houston game. If they continue playing at a high level, and we lose it that may be the deciding game for the division crown.

Tape is out on Levis, and his head coach is handcuffing him. I see those two TEN games as very winnable. Tampa and Carolina are the other two we should win. 10-7 Will take the division. I look at how we've played and the remaining schedule, 10-7 is likely where we finish. I don't think we beat SF or any of the remaining AFC North teams unless Trevor gets hot like he did last year. We simply don't have the juice offensively as it stands and I worry about ETN's workload/durability down the stretch.  We've relied on him heavily to carry the offense and I don't know how much longer we can use him like we have, 380 touch seasons are not ideal for longevity.
