We Can Potentially be the #2 Seed Sunday Night


Pantha-kun

Recommended Posts

Currently we're the # 5 seed. But if the Saints, Vikings, and Rams all lose while we win Vs Tampa, that means we leapfrog the Vikings (both 11-4 but we have the head to head victory) for the #2 spot.  This weekend we should all be huge Falcons, Packers, and Titans fans lol. 

Some interesting things I found from using the playoff machine

  • For Cowboys to get in , they would have to win out , Detroit would need to drop at least 1 of their last 2, and would need one team out of the Saints, Panthers, Falcons to lose their last 2 games. I think this is highly unlikely, 6 seed will be Detroit or Atl depending on if the falcons lose out or not.
  • Panthers can easily miss the playoffs if we lose the next 2 games (10-6)
  • Saints can miss the playoffs if they lose the next 2 games (10-6)
  • Falcons can miss the playoffs if they lose the next 2 games (9-7)
  • The most likely senario to me is , all the good teams win out except us and the Falcons. Falcons lose to the Saints. We end up beating the Bucs but lose a close one to ATL playing for the #6 seed in the last game of the season.  This means we'd end up facing NO at their place in the wc, with Falcons going to LA to play the Rams in the other wc.

 

In short , these last two week are absolutely crucial. Tampa Bay is NOT a trap game, its actually a playoff game pretty much. Because of we lose out, we could miss the playoffs entirely. The last game against ATL will likely determine quite a lot and could be a battle for the division crown, or just a fight to simply not get knocked out of the playoff race entirely.

Could...Ummm you mean will be the number two seed after this weekend!

It’s still possible, given the hate between the Packers and Vikings and the elements at Lambeau, but wouldn’t bet on it.  With Rodgers it woulda been likely.

The packers fuged us by shutting Rodgers down. It was bullshit anyway they activated him just to play us and fill a NFL storyline. 

Yea story line or trying to make the Playoffs which was still on the table last week end and not now kind of a BIG difference

The Packers are fuging anyone. Just because we're dumb enough to play our injury hampered franchise QB when we're out of playoff contention doesn't mean that other organizations are as well.

Don’t disagree, but even last year I was “OK” with Cam playing in an identical spot as the Packers are this week vs the Falcons.

Playing him in week 17 vs the Bucs...:mad:

The moment we were mathematically eliminated, Cam should've been transitioned into 100% rehab mode. Had that happened, maybe we would've realized he needed surgery sooner and been that many weeks ahead of schedule compared to where we actually were this year with Cam clearly playing well under 100% for about half the season.

If guys are healthy, play them. But if you're mathematically eliminated and guys are hurt, pull the plug.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
