Click here to see the playoff machine show us that if we win out we still get the 2 seed. 

 

Here is the rules for breaking a tie for two teams in the same division:

Conference W/L does not take hold until the 4th tie breaker

TO BREAK A TIE WITHIN A DIVISION

If, at the end of the regular season, two or more clubs in the same division finish with identical won-lost-tied percentages, the following steps will be taken until a champion is determined.

Two Clubs

  1. Head-to-head (best won-lost-tied percentage in games between the clubs).
  2. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the division.
  3. Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games.
  4. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the conference.
  5. Strength of victory.
  6. Strength of schedule.
  7. Best combined ranking among conference teams in points scored and points allowed.
  8. Best combined ranking among all teams in points scored and points allowed.
  9. Best net points in common games.
  10. Best net points in all games.
  11. Best net touchdowns in all games.
  12. Coin toss

 

 

So as long as we handle are business the panthers will have gone 11-1 against common opponents with the Saints while the Saints will be 10-2 against common opponents.

I wanted to post this because even I was thinking we lost the tiebreaker due to losing all of our games in conference whilst the Saints have dropped one of their games to the Patriots in the AFC.

If we win out and Eagles somehow lose today we actually wouldn't have a bad shot at the 1 seed. Would be a similar way to get the 1 seed to how the Seahawks got it in '14 after starting kind of slow like us this year. Eagles have a tough schedule going forward.

this really makes our games against the vikings and saints even bigger.

if the panthers win every game from here on out and the saints lose to just us, we'd be tied, but we'd be the number 2 seed. if we win every game except the vikings, then that would put the saints ahead of us, since they also lost to the vikings and would keep our common opponents record at the same 10-2.

If the Rams win out could they have the tiebreaker over us?

hmmm. i think so.

we'd win the division for sure though if that's the case if we win out.

I don't think they'll win out though. Hopefully they beat the Aints but even outside of that they have a toughish schedule. Seahawks could win out too, could that give them the 2 seed over us?

Hopefully we just win out. The rest will take care of itself. Unlikely multiple teams go 13-3 or better so if we do, we have a damn good shot at a bye.

Dallas should beat them tonight  and Sehawks can defiently beat them at home. 

#1 seed is possible long as we take care our business.

      Boy the flyers look good early. Lots of bad plays and slow start by our team. Hope that changes before the score changes.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      I guess I should have stipulated outside the sacred cow.   I complained from year one that Bryce should compete for and win the starting job on his own merit but no he was just handed it. I have been right there with everyone that wants competition.  But I don’t really have a huge problem with it for this season the way it has gone because where are the viable people we don’t have to trade for? I actually am okay with tiny hands Pickett because he is so close to Bryce arm strength wise and to be honest, skill wise. Probably. And it is only a one year deal.  That also takes into account that the QB class is looking stacked next year and if Young fails miserably then we get either a reset or a real competition and there will be more guys that I would like looking at in the FA QB class next year as well.    I sort of accept where we are this year and look at it as another treading water year (at QB). I just want to get to next year with some clarity. More than anything. And they did empty out the room. Again, who was really there for us?  And I know it would not be a true competition at this point anyway. They are giving him the year, like it or not.    Also I don’t give a poo about winning games IF he sucks and or goes down after sucking because draft position and that stacked QB class.  And I want out from under him So Bad.     So I guess it is several factors that lessen my anxiety over his backup this particular season.    I am not trying to convince anyone, but you asked. That’s how I look at it.
