Looks like we are the 5 seed

Read your link. Common opponents is second. Jets help us out.

Read what was written as I discussed that. Common opponents aren't in our favor and still aren't in our favor even if Philly loses to both us and SF and then we both win out and finish tied at 14-3

Well, if they manage to lose two and we somehow win out, the AZ will be what keeps us from the #1 seed, so yeah, I'd say it hurts.

Arizona could beat Philly also.

Philly could lose to 49ers, Cards, Seahawks, and Giants. All common opponents.

of course, that is obvious, but that isn’t the discussion. They have the common opponent edge now and still would if they lose the next two. They could lose all their games

Anything is possible of course, but There is very little chance we win the division because of the Conference records of us and Philly. Philly can lose to both SF and us and still win the division even if we both end up 14-3, because they are currently 6-0 and we are 6-3 against the conference. After our game Philly plays the Giants twice, AZ once and Seattle in a Seattle. Not saying there isn’t a chance of course but it is less likely than I was thinking before I looked at the tiebreakers. So for Dallas to win the division we really need the Eagles to lose 3 out of the last 6. The Arizona game killed us.

If both 14-3: records would be the same. Head to head would be split. Division record would be the same. the only thing I’m not sure about is the record in common games which would be the division tiebreaker before conference record but after using the “playoff simulator” it appears that would be tied or in their favor.

Naw, the Philly game killed us. And then Philly got all these other lucky wins.

I don't get the urge to call it right now. Still a lot of time left.

 

[RonWashington]

He went out 1st series!

Right and tomorrow the 49ers team that visited Philly last yr is going back . Let’s see what happens . I’m hoping loss 2 visits the Eagles

Right. H2H, Division, and common opponents would be tied. We'd lose the conference tie breaker.

 

[RonWashington]

49ers had no one playing Qb. Purdy was hurt and couldn’t throw passes. Just handed off. 49ers are going to maul the Eagles by 21.

I hope your right

 

[Cowboys1966]

Eagles can lose to SF, Dallas and Seattle in seattle

Even so… We are going to drop a game last part of the season… Tough schedule

 

[Flamma]

Either the 49ers or the Eagles will get the #1 seed. Because like someone else said, we'll probably drop another game. It just aggravates me because the difference between a 1 seed and 5 seed is so huge.

 

[Reid1boys]

well screw it. We know 5 seeds dont win SBs, so Im out for the season. ill see you next year!

 

[Jarntt]

The drama…

 

[mldardy]

Twice

 

[Reid1boys]

Twice

my sarcasm was clearly not strong enough.

 

[THEHEREAFTER]

Fun discussion but all we need to do is focus on beating Philly and letting the season play out. Not wishing injury on ANYONE but this is the NFL and the landscape changes every week. Perhaps we're a wildcard and top seeds lose? Who knows. Control what you can.

Yes. 5th isnt gonna work.

impossible odds.

 

[Bobhaze]

Nothing is decided until it’s been decided. It’s why we play ALL the games before seeding the playoffs.

I'd prefer 14 wins to anything else.
