Playoff Preview

[TheKey]

There is about a 90% chance that we will play either the Cardinals or the Eagles in the first round of the playoffs. Very tricky situation playing for seeding but also not wanting to show too much. How HCMM handles this will likely determine the outcome of that first round game.

Personally, I'd sit Tyron, Diggs, Pollard, Zeke and Cooper and try to win with what's left.

 

[CouchCoach]

It is quite unusual that a team will face one of it's last two opponents in the playoffs. And that last game does present some unusual aspects regarding that first playoff game.

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

I'd say sit nobody and try and win every game.

 

[Praxit]

...wow.. really strange. Its like almost back to back games, since Dallas will play both at season end. Good Omen for us. *crossing fingers*

I'd give the rest to those who need it.

 

[JBS]

There is not a 90% chance of this happening. Draw a different piece of paper from the hat because 90% isn’t it

 

[TexasHillbilly]

I hope we get to play the eagles in our first round. I want to be the team that sends them home. Just sayin.

 

[Risen Star]

There's an 85% chance he made up the 90% chance.

 

[fivetwos]

My gut feeling for weeks has been that SF will be our first opponent, either the 2/7 or 3/6 game.

 

[jazzcat22]

We keep playing like we did against WFT, or close to it.
Does it matter what team we play.

1000% Correct !

there is a 100% chance that we lose to the Cardinals if we sit all these guys

I wouldn't sit anyone. we prepare as we always have...maybe play them a quarter or half. let those guys get a feel for the opponent, then put back ups in there....also, we are playing for playoff seeding. sitting those players may lead to losses and lower seeding and having to go on the road twice....and play better/tougher opponents....

we did that few years back in last game under garrett and it totally messed up the momentum going into the game with GB.....

Watch out. Evidently the lame mods are deleting “fake” threads.

Get a dam sense of humor mods!

Then you may not get the 2nd seed.

I just noticed WK 18 the Rams play the late game. The Packers, Bucs and Cowboys play the early game. If Dallas and Tampa win the early games then the Rams do not have anything to play for. Assuming all the teams mentioned win their WK 17 games.

You would get fired... 100% chance

these week by week percentage chance stats are so silly. I bet in 6 days they will say something totally different.

yea I'd say the % of it happening it a bit higher

I went and played with the playoff calculator on ESPN and changed a lot of the scenarios around. Eagles or Cardinals every time. The only thing that changed was the seeding.
