I'm not sure Dallas controls its own destiny....

[noletime95]

If Chicago wins the division w/ both teams tied at 10 wins, I'm affraid Minn might be able to beat out Dallas for the final WC. It's not clear to me who wins the tiebreak between Minn/Chi. Dallas beats Chi in a tiebreak due to conf record (assuming a win vs. Philly). However, it is tied with Minn in both conf record and common oppenents. Minn would have wins vs both the Gints and Panthers, so its not a given Dallas wins the strength of victory tiebreak.

Minnesota has to beat Atlanta to get in. Scratch them off and we're still in as long as we win.

The yahoo generator has us out if Atl wins today and next week and TB wins next week.

So what's the story.

If we beat Philly there's no way they could have a better conference record than us.

The yahoo generator is incorrect because they have Tampa with 10 wins after today but they're at 9-6. For some reason they have them at 10-5 if you put them winning next week, which gives them a better record, but it's impossible to be 10-5 after 16 games.

In terms of Yahoo, the Tampa Bay record is wrong--they haven't updated it yet.

We control our own destiny.

their site is wrong...look at TB's record

D'oh!

I'm not worried about Tampa. My concern is Minn if they don't win the Central.

 

[goshan]

What is Minn's conference record?

Minnesota and Chicago can only get in by winning their division. Neither one is eligible for a wild card. Only one of them get in as the divisional winner.

 

[goshan]

Who has a better common opponents record?
Us or Minn?

Next question. it doesn't matter, see my post above.

They were doing the same with Chi but now it looks correct.

We just need to win.

Hmmmm. I've been repeating myself a lot lately. Bad sign.

minn are 7-4 like the boys - if they lose they will be 7-5

I come to you on da day of dis wedding to ask:

Are you sure?

 

[SilberBlau]

Minn is no problem. If they go 10-6 they win the division. There is NO way they come into the WC picture since Atlanta has 10 wins and we play Philly, so either us or the Eagles go over 9 wins even with a tie

 

[thekavorka]

according to the yahoo generator thing...

if Minnesota, Chicago, and Dallas all have 10 wins:

1. Minnesota wins the division
2. Dallas gets the WC spot
3. Chicago is left out

 

[Biggems]

If GB wins on Monday.....goodbye to Chicago.

We need Carolina to win tonight. That way they clinch their Division and we can hope for tie breakers vs TB.

 

[jobberone]

Now it's doing it again. Ok. We win we're in. Sounds fine with me.
