Looking at that, who do you think will suck the least to win the division? I think we do finish 8-7-1, New Orleans 8-8, Atlanta 5-11. That Nugent missed field goal last week could end up letting us squeak in.

[SOJA]

honestly nothing would surprise me from here on out through the rest of the season 

[KillerKat]

6-9-1

The way CIN is playing, I will not be surprised if the Saints beat them.

[Sean Payton's Vicodin]

that NO schedule is rough as fug, the only cupcakes they have left are @tampa bay and vs us and the falcons in the dome.

 

it's worth noting though, that atlanta loses a home game because they play in london

This division will come down to in division games

[Brooklyn Bully]

8-7-1

 

NO is damn happy to have those big games at home.

[pstall]

I can't figure this team out. The only constant seems we struggle mightily against 3-4.

[KendrickPanther]

It's foolish to eliminate the Bucs from contention. We are only 2.5 games ahead of them. Are they a dumpster fire? Sure, but we all are at this point.

 

I started tracking something last week. The premise is we win every division game and lose every non division game. That guarantees the Falcons and Saints +2 losses, and the Bucs+1. It guarantees us 8 wins. We are quickly approaching a threshold where sweeping the division locks us in.

 

 

3-3-1 Panthers sweep division: 8-7-1

 

2-4 Saints     10-6   best possible

 

2-5 Falcons    9-7   best possible

 

1-5 Bucs       10-6   best possible

 

Now this doesn't mean anything. We could easily lose to the Saints and Falcons twice each and be out of it. We could also split and pick off teams like the Vikings and Browns. Meanwhile the Saints, Falcons, and Bucs can hurt each others chances or lose out of division match ups. Nothing is even close to decided. 

[Sloth]

We're going to have a tough time splitting with ATL and NO. If we do and get a little lucky versus CLE, I think we can make it to 8 wins.

 

Edit: 2 of our next 3 look like bad losses. I'm hoping we don't completely check out and can finish strong. Just please make it to 8 wins. Get that monkey off our back.
