If the Eagles lose tomorrow, are we in?

If not, if the Eagles win tomorrow and we beat them next week, who else has to lose?

Whats the big deal? Even if we make it to the playoffs we'll just choke again.

We beat the eagles next week.

Then either of these:
Atlanta loses tomorrow
or Tampa loses the next 2 games

Washington beating Philly tomorrow would be a plus though.

I know most of us could care less right now, but I am confused about the playoff scenarios.

The media outlets are reporting that the Cowboys have to win at Philly. Then Atlanta lose one game. Or Tampa Bay lose both games.


Why would we need Tampa to lose both games, and not one game?

If they lose one game, and we win in Philly... Both teams would be 10-6
And the first tie breaker for a wild card is HEAD TO HEAD.

We beat Tampa. head to head. .So can anyone explain why the media outlets are reporting this?

Just hope that:

#1: We win next week.
#2: Minnesota and SD win tomorrow.

Then we should get the #6 seed from what I understand.

Then also hope that TB loses and the Eagles lose tomorrow as well.

Because they are wrong.

If we beat Philadelphia and Tampa Bay loses one game, we would win the tiebreaker against them or a three-team tiebreaker against Chicago and Tampa Bay (or Chicago and Atlanta).

We need to beat the Eagles and have either the Falcons or the Buccaneers (or both) lose one game. Those are our only options.

I think we have a shot.

Look, the Ravens were 9-5 and pay their players just like we do.
