It probably wouldn't feel like it's been SO SLOW if one of these teams would OH MY GOD, DO SOMETHING ALREADY. 

It's just a back and forth game between 2 pretty crappy teams -- those kind of games do exist.

[KillerKat]

Oh the refs bail Ryan out. 

[Jangler]

Wow they had to think about intentional grounding... 

[Lilsmitty09]

Gonna be a hell of a day fellas. In about thirty minutes we can order our division champ shirts, and then in an hour, we can watch the Panthers sweep the Saints and go to 12. HELLLL YEAA

Yes, of course they exist. I wasn't trying to imply they don't, just lamenting that I'm stuck watching it until the Panthers play.

Could anyone explain me how is that we don't clinch bye week with the Vikings L? do the Vikings have a tie breaker over us?

[MVPccaffrey]

The NFC south outside of us is really mediocre to bad.  Winston looks good but the team is mediocre at best and Atlanta/NO are just plain bad.  We will have 15 wins minimum.

I think its because even if the Vikes lose today, if they win their last 4, and we lose our last 4, we would be tied with them and they would have a better conference record than us.  One of their losses is against an AFC team.

Oh, ok thanks, I was wondering which was the tiebreaker they had over us. I just hope the Cards don't get 2nd and have to eliminate with the Seahawks.

it'll be another 2-3 weeks before any seedings are set in stone.

Ryan just got crushed lol

Depending on how things unfold, the #2 seed might actually get the easier first round game.  If the Playoffs go

1)Us

2)Cards

3) Minn/GB

4)NFC East Pickem

5)Minn/GB

6)Seattle

I could easily Seattle winning the first game and giving the #2 seed having a decent chance of catching a NFC LEast team in the second round.  I'm particularly thinking of Washington who seems to play like a middleschool JV squad while on the road, but a superbowl team at home.  I still want the #1 seed, but it's just an interesting thought

[MVPccaffrey]

Looks like we'll have to clinch it ourselves, gentlemen.
