Playoff discussion....

[thssanders]

I think everyone already knows, we win out, we take the division.

If the giants lose one game and we win one more game, we are in the playoffs.

What we are looking at right now is that last game against philly. Basically the winner gets the right to host the loser in the wild card round. Almost every scenario has us playing the eagles in the first round. So huge game there. Do not want to play at philly in the first round.

One team that is looking good down the stretch is the packers. They are currently on a 5 game winning streak and are in a tight one with the steelers right now. They already beat us once and we had all kinds of trouble protecting romo against that 3-4 defense. And their offense is as explosive as it gets.

Hopefully we get the 3 seed, just need the cardinals to lose one of their next two and us win out. That way we go to minnesota in the second round if it comes down to it. Don't want to go play at new orleans again.

In a perfect world, we win at home against the eagles in the first round, win at minnesota, and the packers or cardinals somehow upset the saints. Then we would host the nfc championship game. But i doubt that happens

TOO MANY ASSUMPTIONS. VIKINGS COULD STILL TAKE THE #1 SEED FOR STARTERS.

ITS CALLED PLAYOFF DISCUSSION FOR A REASON

If the Giants win out then don't we have to win out to stay ahead of them? Typed this without looking.

yeah, that's why i said if they lose one game then we can lose one as well.

yes, because they hold the tie breaker. If they win out, we have to win out.

Sorry. I read it differently. My bad.

 

[thssanders]

well with the steelers beating the packers.... after looking at the yahoo playoff generator, there is almost no possible way we play the packers or cardinals. So its almost a guarantee that if we make the playoffs and the eagles do as well, thats the matchup we are getting. I pray that its in bid d

One reminder that will make you sick. In this decade we have not won a season finale. We have lost every final game of every season since 1999.

This year, it might really matter more than any other year this decade. At 11-5 we would not only win the NFC East, but also with one more win we would avoid the first decade in our 50 year History where we are only a .500 team. As it stands right now here is the decade by decade breakdown.

1960's...67-65-6, .508 winning %

1970's...105-39, .729 winning %

1980's...79-73, .520 winning %

1990's...101-59, .631 winning %

2000's...80-78, .506 winning % as of right now. Winning out would be a .513 winning %. A split would be the .506 we are at now. Losing both is .500

If we get 1 more win it will mean double digit wins in 25 of our 50 seasons.

Wait, what? If we win out and end up the #3 seed the packers can still be the #6 and we'd have to play them.

Nevermind. Just played with the playoff generator thing and its too slim of a chance.

Look at this scenario: http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/playoffscenario?algorithm=custom&14=45115115&15=51101041&16=55041505

The Steelers win today helps. I was so pissed at that onside kick crap. What was he thinking, that god it diddn't bite them.

The Broncos loss today will put them in do or die vs Philly next week, and that's a good thing for the Cowboys.

I'll take playing the Packers again........in Dallas of course.

Here's hoping the Commanders kick the Giants butt.

If we play the Eagles at Philly in the post season I feel the Cowboys can win that game.

I think that one is messed up.... it only has the packers as 10-5. guess it didn't count the game they just lost yet

Didn't notice that.
