Like everyone else said, definitely still doable, but hard to be really confident

The form is just not there as it should be, for a team making that late charge into the playoffs. As a result, I've got myself comfortable with the reality that we possibly (probably?) won't make the playoffs. I don't think that's the same thing as giving up, but I am emotionally ready if the season does simply drift to disappointment from here.
