this is a horrendous way to think.

The first step in any good teams plans is to win its division. you must win the division.

This actually is the biggest game of the year. Lose this game and we will have to go on the road to seattle/philly in the first round.

I think the players will understand what is on the line.

:rolleyes:

yeah, lets think continue to pin our hopes on others instead of taking care of business ourselves

maybe whoever wins the Lombardi Trophy will say they just werent worthy enough and give it to us after losing in the first rd of the playoffs too

if we cant win next week, we dont deserve to be in the playoffs, let alone win the division...there is ZERO excuse to lose

We deserve to be in the playoffs since we clinched a berth. Win or lose to the Eagles. Unless of course you can make a case of someone who didn't make that is more deserving. Or maybe the NFL should truncate the NFC Playoff field to five?

Then why start this thread?

Why post in the thead about how much you hate the thread without any comment on the subject matter?

+1 to the post count for me... hoo ray.

We need to be Philly, not because it's a "must win" but more for pride since we lost a game to them that we really should/could have won. I personally don't want to win the Division with a Divisonal record of 2-4......

I understand what he's saying, but to say we "don't even deserve to be in the playoffs if we lose to Philadelphia" is so nonsensical and typical of those who like to overexaggerate everything everytime we lose.

If we cant beat an inferior opponent at home with the division on the line, we dont desere to do anything but sit at home

You just don't get it. We deserve a playoff spot because over the course of a SIXTEEN GAME season, We were one of the top six teams in the conference. There's no one in the conference not in the playoffs more deserving of a playoff berth than us. To say so is an overexaggeration

A team's character is defined not by how they perform against better teams, but how they perform against inferior one's when they absolutely have to win. Next week is a MUST WIN if we want a home playoff game and any shot at a first round by.

If our team cant get up and beat an injury depleted, Jeff Garcia led team at home on Christmas day on national TV, then it proves we have little to no attitude and charatcer.

I don't care what OTHER teams are doing. We dont deserve anything other than a first round exit if we lose next week.

Well, hopefully Dallas wins on Monday and makes this discussion moot.

Well we are already in so your opinion is meaningless.

i am just stating what is mathematically happening.i realize that we want to win this,but mathematically for the division anyway its not a must win.just in case ,our d doesnt show up and we lose.okay.

No, it's not. It doesnt matter if we're already in. We were in back in 2003, but we clearly had no right being there. That team didnt have character. Just because we are in doesnt mean we will do anything once we're there. I'd just as soon go 0-16 and get the first pick than back into the playoffs and get blasted in the first round.

This week will prove a lot about what this year's group is made of

How is it backing into the playoffs when we have as many wins as any other wild card team could ever have AND have beaten the teams like the Panthers and Falcons, one of which is basically eliminated and the other which cannot be ahead of us.

Under no definition of the term "backing in" can it be said that a team that clinches a playoff berth in week 15 has backed in.
