Playoff Scenario Thread: Bucs, Rams, Viks, Bears are who we want to win *Merge*

[sonnyboy]

These are the teams playing at 1:00pm we want to win.

Of course if the Bucs win, the Bears and Viks wont matter much.

We want the birds eliminated at 4:00pm. A Bucs win or both a Bears and Viks win will do it.

Good to see the Bears off to a good start. May push the Viks. That div is still up for grabs.

Not surprised the Rams are doing well. Clinching the playoffs is a hard party to overcome and focus for the next week for such a young Falcons team. They still have a shot at the Div.


We might just have all the games fall for us and have a shot at the 5 seed.

All we need for the 5 seed is a Falcons loss and a Cowboys win.

 

[thssanders]

bucs are losing right now.... and the giants/vikes game will probably come to the end.... so the eagles might be playing for something

 

[Ren]

It really don't matter cause if we lose we're out I'm actually more worried about a Eagles team with nothing to play for then if there's something on the line

 

[rkhaze]

I have not seen this scenario on tv, but what happens if....

Bucs lose,
Mini and or Chicago win which eliminates philly

but we lose

Does Chicago get in over us?

 

[ajk23az]

If we win we are in, if we lose, we are out. It's that simple.

Yes. If we lose, we are 9-7 and if the bears win then they are 10-6.

If the bears lose and the bucs lose, then the Eagles would get in at 9-6-1.

 

[Hypnotoad]

chicago would get in at 10-6 we would not at 9-7.

 

[percyhoward]

If Atlanta and Tampa both lose, and the Bears and Vikings both win, we'd go into the Philly game with the Eagles knowing they were out of the picture, and a win would give us the 5th seed--making a playoff game at Texas Stadium (against the Falcons) theoretically possible.

 

[Thomas82]

Looking good so far.

 

[Hypnotoad]

I don't like how momentum is swinging in these games.

any help much appreciated.

Nothing could be further from the truth. Playoffs, Playoffs, Playoffs, that's the goal.
Maybe I'd agree if they had been eliminated last week. They'd have a little time to get over it and refocus on ending the season well while knocking us out!

Under this scenario, they get eliminated today, and will be flat at kickoff.

Yes sir.

Looks like we won't be getting any help. Fecals will be alive when we play them.

 

[TD-33]

Looks like nothing will go the Cowboy's way at this point, but the way I see it is if the Boys can't put teams away then what is the point? If they want it, they will take it.

 

[Ren]

when it's all said and done the cowboys will have to make it on their own anyways it was always going to be that way

 

[Apollo Creed]

So we need the Bears and the Vikings to win to eliminate Philly, or just one of the two?

Both if TB loses
