Opinion: Next week's game is officially meaningless

[Tabascocat]

There is no way, with absolutely nothing on the line, I put Romo out there against that blitz-happy bunch.

No. Way.

Yea, I might not play Romo but the rest are fair game to play at least half of the game. I would probably start Tony but have a quick hook on him if they are getting close to him.

That's why Detroit will be the one seed if they win but if Seattle and Green Bay win then Seattle gets the one seed after that there'd be a tie between us and Green Bay for the two seed and since there was no head to head you go to conference to break the tie again. But if Detroit wins we get the tie breaker over Seattle because head to head kicks back in

"If two clubs remain tied after third or other clubs are eliminated, tie breaker reverts to step 1 of applicable two-club format"

Head to head is not applicable. It goes to conference record

Ok what's step one? It's Head-to-Head! And if Seattle & Dallas are the remaining tied teams it's applicable!

 

[TrailBlazer]

No the team with the best conference record would get the highest seed then you repeat the whole list to find the two seed anyway we'll find out if Detroit wins. I'm telling you it's like I'm saying you can't break the three way tie with head to head so conference record determines the one seed. After that you repeat all the tie-breaker rules which now would include head to head in the event that Detroit and Seattle are both 12-4. If Green Bay were to win though, Seattle would get the one, then upon repeating the list again since there's no head to head between us and Green Bay you refer to conference record and they'd be ranked higher than us.

Even if Detroit wins. Head to head is not applicable. Head to head is completely thrown out. Even when finding the 2 seed. It'd conference record. Which we lose. The only scenario dallas gets the 2 seed is to avoid the 3 way tie.

It's not applicable! It's thrown out

 

[gdogg24]

It's not applicable!

It becomes applicable if Seattle and Dallas are the two tied teams after the initial tie-breaker! You posted it yourself refer to step one if two teams remain tied! If things were like your saying the rule you posted would have said refer to step 2!

it's thrown out when you're trying to find the one seed you need to do all the tie breakers again to find the two seed!

This is where you are wrong, my friend. It is still thrown out even when seattle and dallas are the 2 teams tied in a 3 way tie breaker after the initial tie break. I wish you were right. Refer to step one if applicable. It's not, it's already been thrown out. This is why you won't find any scenarios where we need Detroit to win to get the 2 seed.

Also seattle would beat Detroit in 3 way tie breaker

It's thrown out in the event of a three way tie which there was for first place, if Detroit wins they win the three way tie for first place. Then you're left with a two team tie for second place which we win with Seattle because you factor back in head-to-head. If Green Bay were to win we'd lose because the head-to-head wouldn't be applicable because for the three way tie Seattle wins that. Then in the two way tie for second place we'd lose that to Green Bay because there's no head-to-head to refer to.

 

[gdogg24]

Also seattle would beat Detroit in tie breaker

Well in that case all the rest of this is moot lol But why is Seattle above Detroit in a tie-breaker? They'd have identical conference records if they both win right? So so what strength of victory? Common games?

 

[TrailBlazer]

It's thrown out in the event of a three way tie which there was for first place, if Detroit wins they win the three way tie for first place. Then you're left with a two team tie for second place which we win with Seattle because you factor back in head-to-head. If Green Bay were to win we'd lose because the head-to-head wouldn't be applicable because for the three way tie Seattle wins that. Then in the two way tie for second place we'd lose that to Green Bay because there's no head-to-head to refer to.

Seattle wins any 3 way tie breaker with Detroit or Green bay and dallas. Then it would come down to det/GB versus dallas.

 

[DejectedFan1996]

I literally can't stop laughing. I know it's wrong but gdogg Trailblazer has explained how it works a million and one times. You are wrong. It doesn't work the way you think it does.

 

[gdogg24]

Seattle wins any 3 way tie breaker with Detroit or Green bay and dallas. Then it would come down to det/GB versus dallas. So you may be right about what you were saying. I have no idea anymore I am confused

yeah you threw me off with Detroit losing a tie breaker to Seattle since idk what would happen with identical conference records?

 

[gdogg24]

If you check out the rules that's what they're saying you have to repeat the whole tie breaker procedure to figure out the other seed. You break the three way tie then repeat to figure out the other.

yeah you threw me off with Detroit losing a tie breaker to Seattle since idk what would happen with identical conference records?

Common opponents. Detroit lost to zona.

 

[gdogg24]

Common opponents. Detroit lost to zona.

But do they have four common opponents? I'm trying to look at the schedule but in order for that rule to be applicable they have to have four common opponents

 

[windward]

But do they have four common opponents? I'm trying to look at the schedule but in order for that rule to be applicable they have to have four common opponents

With the schedule structures the way it is now every one has four common opponents

 

[stiletto]

I think you gotta give them some work in the game against washington. Treat it as a pre-season game. One or two series to stay fresh. Murray should sit but will probably try to go for Emmitt's record.....

yeah I just found them, New York, Arizona, Green Bay & Carolina Seattle went undefeated against common opponents with Detroit.
