If Giants Lose Out & We Win Out- What Happens?

[Cowboys2008]

It's a what-if scenario I think should be examined with the way the wheels seem to be falling off up there in the big apple. Who would have the tie-breaker if this were to happen?

The only question for the Giants is if they can win one of their last two and get the bye week to heal up some guys. They have the division already clinched. But, if they lose their last two and Minnesota beats Atlanta, the Giants end up with the three seed and no bye week playing a wildcard game.

We blew any chance at winning the division last week in Pittsburgh.

What he said.

 

[Cowboys2008]

Oh..

So what was the tie-breaker that clinched it for them?

And we could end up playing them the first game.

Probably because they beat a team or two that we lost to.

Could...BUT since they re-seed after every week that's not a given....If the #6 team wins, and the Giants stay the #1, then they would play them...not the #4 or #5 how the bracket shows right now here: http://www.sportsline.com/nfl/standings/playoffrace/bracket

If the #3 seed beats the #6 team, THEN the winner of the #4 and #5 seeded team would play the #1 seeded team.

And what a shame that is. If we had beaten Pittsburgh, Dallas would be 10-4 and NY would be 11-3 with two games left. NY has a tough one next week and they're struggling. Who knows what would've happened? Oh well. I just hope we make the playoffs.

Division record.

 

[Cowboys2008]

Well that all sucks, but at least nice we're showing them they haven't run away with nothing like they so thought they were going to.

Anyway, all, thanks for the info on my question!

The Giants are 5-7 in the past three Decembers. We're 5-6.

Somehow, I don't think the media got the memo.

Not surpising. I know we get a lot of love from many fans etc. but East Coast teams just get a pass IMO.

You win next week and week 17 won't matter. Next week is for HFA.

I'm saying it now. No way that team loses 3 in a row.

Division record.

No, if we win out and they lose out we have identical division records. The tie breaker would seem to be record against common opponents: They beat Arizona, Washington, St. Louis, Pittsburgh-all losses for us. We beat the Browns, while they lost. They win the tie breaker.
