Updated NFC Playoff Picture 12/26

[rambo2]

If these are the teams that make the playoffs in the NFC, I think all the roads teams could win the first round games or at least 2 out of the 3 can win them.

You are correct.

This was watchable today:

Losing this game really screwed us. That fumble really took the momentum out of the game giving the fact we scored on the next drive..

 

[rambo2]

Cardinals and Giants? They'll be double digit favorites this n both games.

Did you watch the Eagles Giants game? Have you watched the Eagles play the last 5 weeks? And for that matter all season?

It didn't hurt the Cowboys much. They would still need the Eagles to lose a game to get the 2 even with a win over Miami. The only way it hurts the Cowboys is if the 49ers lose 1 and the Eagles lose 1, then the Cowboys would have been the 1. Now if the Eagles lose 1 and the 49ers lose 2, the Cowboys would get the 1.

It's confusing as hell with the strength of schedule tie breaker but looks like they win NFC East if we tie.

The playoff order of precedence for the Division is:

1) Head-to-Head
2) Division record
3) Record against Common Opponents
4) Conference record
5) Strength if Victory

Eagles losing to Arizona will give the Division to Dallas based in Conference records as long as Dallas wins their last 2 games.

Eagles beating Arizona, but losing to the Giants will give the Division to Dallas based on Division record as long as Dallas wins their last 2 games.

See my post above. Eagles must lose to NY.

Or Arizona.

For some reason I would rather us take the hard path. We seem to be a bounce back team that gets long streaks going. I don’t want to lose another game but if we lost to lions do you think this team crumbles or comes out swinging. I think we come out swinging this weekend.

I'll get a really big kick out of it, if the Eagles lose 1 game and the 49ers lose their final 2 games. It will be so funny on this board. I hope we see Purdy and Hurts making a lot of turnovers again next week.

The Eagles will be rooting for the Cowboys to beat the Lions to get the number 2 seed.

I think that the Cowboys win their last 2 and the Eagles lose a game. I'm real interested to see what the 49ers do with the issues that they are having and playing at 10am pacific time after playing on Monday night. The last time that the 49ers played on the East Coast, they lost at Cleveland.

I hoped the Giants would win last night, but didn’t expect it being at home. But, being at home notwithstanding, Arizona is a better chance for a loss simply because of Kyler Murray. I’m not a huge fan of him, but he’s better than DeVito by miles. The last game in NY is a possibility, but not if DeVito is ghe QB.

They played a very physical game last night but it is the Commanders, so my expectations are low. But that’s why they play the game.

If Trent Williams doesn't play or gets hurt during the game, the Commanders have a decent chance.

 

[CowboysLakerBamaFan]

The Cowboys should win both games and it wouldn't surprise me if they end up winning the division or winning at Tampa and I think that any of the playoff teams can win the 1st playoff games.

I think we're saying the same thing.

Eagles SHOULD win both their games.
Cowboys SHOULD win both their games (though they do have 1 legit team left).

It would surprise no one if both teams won both. That said...both teams have demonstrated they are capable of dropping 1 or both games remaining.

Either team could win their 1st playoff game...and SHOULD win their 1st playoff game. But it would surprise nobody if either Dallas or Philly or both of them flamed out and lost.

They both have the talent to beat anyone...but they both have proven that they can easily lay an egg

 

[Blue&Silver]

We win the East if we win out and Philly loses one I believe.
Would love to send Philly to the five seed to have to go on the road in Tampa. I think they would lose that.

I'm pretty sure they played Tampa, in Tampa, and won already.

Did you watch the Eagles Giants game? Have you watched the Eagles play the last 5 weeks? And for that matter all season?

They aren't losing against the Giants. You don't see punt returns on players blocked into them causing a turnover, and a premier player falling down leading to an INT. That itself lead to 15 points. Remove 15 points from the Giants total and it's a different looking score. Arizona you have to watch

Is anyone seriously thinking we'll win the NFC East now?

There's still a chance. That's all anyone is saying.

Seems more like getting one's hopes up too high, but ... hope on!
