Updated scenario please?

[thewivil]

What happens if the Giants lose, and the Commanders win next week? How will that change our chances for the playoffs?

 

[Avery]

Everyone just please root for the friggin Iggies and Ron Mexico.

 

[Michael88Irvin]

So if either Carolina or Washington lose next win combined with a Boys win and they are in... Correct?

Yes

(and we have the tiebreaker over Minnesota, so they are a non-issue to us)

 

[Hostile]

Everyone just please root for the friggin Iggies and Ron Mexico.

Go Ron Mexico!!!!

 

[Naruto]

Well forget about banking on the Eagles. They're getting beat by the Cards...

 

[Cajuncowboy]

Go Ron Mexico!!!!

Since the Falcons don't realy have anything to play for can we all chip in and offer Vick a free 1 years supply of herpes meds if they win???

 

[Richmond Cowboy]

The only thing we have going for us is that both the teams we need to win are playing at home versus a division rival. Anything can happen.

 

[jksmith269]

Yes

(and we have the tiebreaker over Minnesota, so they are a non-issue to us)

All we need is Carolina or Washington to lose and us win and we are in.

What happens if the Giants lose, and the Commanders win next week? How will that change our chances for the playoffs?

The Giants would have a better div record than us.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

the Falcons do have something to play for

knocking a divisional rival out of the playoffs with a win against them

Good question, I don't have the answer though.

 

[Da Hammer]

Now that I think of it I hope that back-up QB of the Falcons plays umm whats his name Matt Schaub. Vick is playing like crap right now, good thing Atlanta will be at home

 

[Nors]

Huge win - my props to the boys today!

 

[TheEnigma]

The Giants would have a better div record than us.

That wouldn't matter

 

[goshan]

If the Falcons would have won, we would have been in a lot better shape.
I was rooting, but they couldn't pull it off.

 

[Gryphon]

They will still be 7-4, Baltimore is AFC. Regardless, we need them to lose 1 of their last 2.

[wsmith_1972]

All we need is for Washington to lose...correct?

That is a tall order in itself with the current Philly team.

All I'kll say is our chances are not good..

Tampa plays the Aints...and Washington plays the beagles.

 

[SA_Gunslinger]

we need a win first and foremost, and we need a philly win OR an atlanta win.

so, come kickoff....we'll know if we have something to play for or not.

 

[Homerun Trot]

That wouldn't matter

Yes it would, if you're talking about getting in over the Giants, we can't get in over the Skins unless they lose.

 

[CowboysFan28]

Yeah the good thing about it, is if one those two teams does lose...We'll know before kickoff...game is at home, and we should be fired up and blow out the rams.
