Nearly Impossible Scenarios that could happen in the
2015-2016 season
Disclaimer: As the title suggests, these scenarios are
unlikely to happen so don’t take the claims too seriously. These are meant to
be fun scenarios to imagine because they have potential but that’s all they are
right now; potential scenarios.
Who doesn’t love to imagine wild fantasies? Whether it be
about your life, where you want to live, what places to travel, or anything in
the world, fantasies are always a fun way to observe life. Fantasies are also a
fun way to dream and eventually make goals to pursue in life. Well, why not
have fantasies about football and think about the different possibilities of
the season? The only twist here is these fantasies aren’t likely to happen,
which will just make these scenarios even more fun to look at. Well, why don’t
we just get right to them. Remember, these are for fun, and not to take
seriously…for now.
5. The Texans and Chiefs reach the playoffs while Denver
falls short
This is the most likely of the nearly
impossible scenarios. It’s not far fetched to imagine that the Chiefs win the
AFC West division and Denver falls short of the wild card at a 10-6 record. So
who would take away their wild card? The Texans, of course, because they are
one of the better teams in the AFC. The Texans aren’t going to beat the Colts
for the AFC South division and need the wild card to make the playoffs. Sorry
Texans fans. Maybe when you get a franchise QB, you’ll give the Colts more
trouble.
4. RG3 reclaims his former glory and takes the Redskins to
the playoffs
In a make it or break it year, this
is what RG3 has to do if he wishes to play in the NFL or at least show that he
can still be what he was his rookie year. However, RG3’s biggest problem is his
ego. While injuries are apart of his failures, RG3’s refusal to listen to his
coaches to work on his mechanics is his true downfall and if he can’t push
aside his pride for once, he won’t be on the Redskins roster much longer.
3. The Saints boast the No. 1 running game in the NFL
Now that the Saints have CJ
Spiller, they can go back to what they do best; have a great running game and
Drew Brees to save the day when the running game just isn’t enough to keep the
offense rolling. With Sean Peyton’s complicated schemes and offensive play
calling, the Saints can easily have a top 5 running game. However, boasting the
No. 1 running game could be a chore with so many competitors that already have
a great running game.
2. The Dolphins take down the Patriots to make it to the AFC
Championship.
This is arguably the most
improbable scenario of the ones listed. In fact, I’m not sure what’s more
improbable, the Dolphins beating the Patriots in a playoff game, or the
Dolphins making it into the playoffs and passing the Wild Card Round. I only
give them the benefit of the doubt because Tannehill is an under-rated QB and
Suh will wreck offensive lines for the Dolphins defense.
1. The Vikings win the NFC North in a week 17 upset of the
Packers
This all depends on how much the
Packers dominate this year and how high Minnesota goes to reach their
potential. This scenario is number 1 because, frankly, it’s the most exciting
scenario to think about of them all. Imagine this, Rodgers, arguably the
greatest quarterback of all time, going up against an up and coming quarterback
in Bridgewater for the division championship with playoff hopes on the line.
Also, don’t forget this is Adrian Peterson’s comeback year and he’s going to
want to show the NFL world he is still the best running back to play this game
in this century. This storyline is loaded with drama and it would be a great
game to end the NFL season with.
