Do we have a shot at a first round bye?

[CATCH17]

Title?

 

[theanimal23]

Yes but will need help. I believe Green Bay and Detroit have better conference records -- they will play each other in week 17. With Stanton hurt, Arizona could lose out. We need to win out, and have Seattle win the NFC West. We have a slim shot at the #1 seed

Title?

I think the title's fine.

 

[endersdragon]

Yes win next week, Eagles lose and Seahawks win we basically will clinch in next week

Looks like if AZ looses out, we win out then Detroit looses to Chi and GB looses to Detroit we would get #1 seed

 

[Future]

Basically, we have to win out to get the bye. If we do...

We'd need the Cards to lose their last two to Seattle and SF.
Both the Lions and Packers need to lose a game.

 

[JBS]

We have a very small chance at a bye week...it's really unfortunate...there are obviously scenarios but we need help...

 

[khiladi]

I just want to play on the road. Dallas is just a bad home team. Jerry's World is starting to get on my nerves.

Correct. We need both Det and gb to lose a game...that sucks

Gb losing to buf actually hurt our hopes for a bye...damaged our chances big time

Can't see Det losing to Chi.

 

[Redball Express]

Title?

Sure.

This team has a champions will to win regardless what the other team does.

I've not seen this since the 1966 team..

or the 1971 team..

or the 1991 team..

the team can go as far as its heart can take it.

Lesser teams have won SBs than this one.

Why not us?

 

[hmcorp]

Would rather finish in the fifth seed somehow but I know thats impossible almost. road all the way would be the best for us.

oh well home loss in the first round.

we suck at home.

I do not think the Cardinals lose out. The Seahawks should soundly beat them, but the 49ers have given up.

 

[Alexander]

Can't see Det losing to Chi.

Nor do I see them beating Green Bay, they never win at Lambeau.

 

[Alexander]

This makes me want to say "Playoff bye? Playoff Bye???" in Jim Mora voice.

 

[Chuck 54]

Absolutely....if we win out.
Right now, I'm hoping we are totally focused on beating Indy.

 

[1fisher]

[NorthTexan95]

Can't see Det losing to Chi.

Det nearly lost to Minnesota this week. If they lose to Chicago I wouldn't be totally surprised ... but I'm not counting on it.

 

[bracey]

Not really. Our only hope at a bye is if GB loses at Tampa next week or have the 49ers beat the Cards and Rams beat Seattle in the final week.

 

[Tenkamenin]

Nor do I see them beating Green Bay, they never win at Lambeau.

Winning at Lambeau is tough but Det has a better D than GB, this bodes well for them in a divisional championship game.
