NFC Playoff status ***merged*** **updated 12/20 post #226

[Alexander]

This is the only somewhat realistic scenario that can get us in at 10-6. We would just need to beat the Commanders in week 17 for us to get in as a sixth seed.

This has the Cardinals losing out. Possible, but not likely.

Pretty sure we don't control our destiny in the division race, despite last night's win. If we beat the Eagles next week and both teams win out after that, Eagles still win the division (provided they beat the Seahawks this week). No, the only way we would control our destiny is if the Eagles lose this week.

Yes, I corrected myself earlier. You're right.

I think Sunday is the key game for the Cards IMO. It's a home game and if they win they will get a little confidence back. If they lose they will really start doubting themselves with 3 tough division games left.

If I read the chart correctly, there is a 66% chance of the cowboys NOT making the playoffs (along with vikings and rams at >99% of missing the playoffs)

With a victory last nite against the Bears, the Cowboys climbed back into the wildcard seat as the #5 seed with a 66% probability of being a playoff team. They still control their own destiny in the Division race.

A victory over the Eagles next week will give them a shot at one of the top seeds. They'd better find a way to plug that hole up in the intermediate zone the Bears exploited in the 4th quarter if they want to win a few more games this year.

34% chance of no playoffs ergo 66% chance of making them.

I think you're looking at the Falcons row. We have a 34% of not making the playoffs.

 

[KingintheNorth]

Every single time I look at the standings and playoff hopes that Commander game hurts a little more.

oops, my bad, was never good with numbers

 

[cowboys1981]

Ellington will be out for Arizona. That ship is hitting rock bottom.

 

[The Natural]

vs. KC, @ STL, vs. SEA, @SF

Arizona could conceivably lose 3 of 4 games

 

[windward]

I sincerely doubt that there will be games on Tuesday, December 16th.

Lol that game is supposed to be Friday, December 19th.

 

[Bungarian]

LOL at if we somehow make it to Green Bay. You guys are so all over Green Bay's jockstrap so much. Like they are invincible or something. That team has 1 less loss than we do. They are very beatable at Lambeau, not at Lambeau.

huh?

I almost expect it.

 

[Bungarian]

Eagles will lose to giants or skins.

They may lose them all and pundits have raised the issue. Wouldn't surprise me or for them to win them all or most.

 

[Beast_from_East]

If the playoffs started tomorrow.....................we would be playing at Atlanta

 

[mldardy]

huh?

What do you mean huh.

 

[HoustonSucks]

I have no idea how to read these things. I'm glad there are people here who can. I'd rather read a piece of music or Shakespeare this just makes me go ***????

 

[HoustonSucks]

I'm beginning to worry if Dallas takes the division and has to play Philly again at home. I'd rather they hit the road at this point.

Nightmare

Does anyone know the Seahawks were listed ahead of us in the race for a wild-card spot when we had the same overall record? I thought the first tiebreaker was head-to-head, giving us the advantage.
