A. 2-way tie with NYG/DAL The team that wins NYG-DAL game in week 17 wins this tiebreak.

B. 2-way tie with NYG/WAS: NYG takes this tiebreak due to head to head sweep.

C. 3-way tie with NYG/DAL/WAS:

NYG take tiebreak if NYG beat DAL OR PHI beat WAS.

WAS takes tiebreak if DAL beats NYG AND WAS beat PHI.

DAL CANNOT take this three-way tiebreak even if they swept NYG.

NYG CAN lose this three-way tiebreak even though they swept WAS.

NOTE that PHI not included in these since they cannot be in tiebreak unless one of the NFCE plays a tie game.

Sad how whether we're trying to win or tank, we could easily end up in a tie in our division.

We are in last place in the division.
Sole last place.
Right now each NFCE team plays the AFCW & NFCS next season.
The difference for now, the 2 games don’t even give us an advantage. As we would play SF, as they will be healthy so a tough game. And Detroit or Minnesota, depending how the finish, right now Detroit.

if we finish 3rd it would be the same, one of those teams, unless the Bears drop a lot. And as of now Arizona. at least we won’t have to play GB unless we win the division.

I didn’t post the home away games for these teams, I will need to go back to look.

What difference does it make if we win the division or finish last?

Last week I felt good we would beat Cincy without Burrow. I fully expect their spare Allen to look good against us.

If this team wanted any chance, they had to win last week. We are now a game behind Washington and we got swept so that's 2 games. Philly beat us once and probably will again.

It's best to let this team wither away and pick at the top of every round.

Dalton is a terrible QB so this will probably happen.

Meh, I'd be fine if the Cowboys just forfeited the rest of the season. :laugh: I'm over it.

We're not going to end up in a tie. Martin and Erving are out for weeks.
I think if those injuries are serious, we should just them down especially Martin. I don’t want to risk further injury that could affect him next year. The Bengals might not be an easy win. They looked decent from what I saw against the Giants.
