A quick look at the current playoff picture

[Blackspider214]

being 5-1 currently in the NFC is so important for tiebreakers. we already have a win over each divisional opponent.

calm down people, we are in the drivers seat a lot more comfortably than we think.

Things can change in a hurry, though.

The only way we win the division is beating the Saints or Packers

If we don't it's OVER

Brother, you need to get a grip, and a little context.

When we play the Packers Rodgers will be back so we either have to win that game or the one this sunday against the saints. I am saying that because since the eagles get a gift this week and a win because of no Aaron Rodgers, that means we have to beat a team that no one expects us to maintain that 1 game or more lead over the eagles. If not then the eagles may move ahead of us in 3 weeks.

A very realistic scenario in the making:

Dallas lose to NO and NYG putting us at 5-6.

Philly beat GB and lose to Was putting them at 5-6.

Was beat Minny and Philly and lose to SF putting them at 5-6.

NYG beat Oak GB and Dal putting them at 5-6.


Then it starts getting real...

The key game is the Giants on the road. They just don't match up well against them and it will be crucial to have Wilcox and Claiborne back in the fold for that game. If there is any elixir that can rejuvenate a team in desperate shape it is a Dallas secondary running around like chickens with their heads cut off. If they could somehow get the Saints then all the better but I just don't see them having enough defense to win that game if Sproles and Colston are back. Like I said before, Lee and Carter will get severely tested in this game. The wildcard is Ware returning to the defensive rotation.
