We Can Potentially be the #2 Seed Sunday Night

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.

      And those targets are mostly going to TMac, who will be a part of the FUTURE of the team. Did it remove the most reliable WR and Bryce's safety blanket? Absolutely. But it's also allowing him to build better chemistry with TMac, Stephens, Horn, Evans, etc. I am pumped to see Coker back and hopefully they can reignite that connection.

      It's the same thing that made Bryce the #1 overall pick. I've never seen such mass delusion about a football player before. Everyone convinced themselves that the fact that Bryce was below to severely below average in practically every physical attribute for an NFL QB just wouldn't matter because he has everything else you need and that'll more than make up for it. When has such an argument ever been made for an NFL prospect before? We watch prospects plummet every year because they run a couple tenths slower in the 40 time than expected. Smitty had everything you want in a receiver except he was 5'9" so he goes in the 3rd round. That's the way these things generally go. If you check a lot of boxes but leave some key ones unchecked you're not an elite prospect. With Bryce though, the physically limitations were always obvious so it gave more time to be able to build that into the equation and come up with reasons for why he'd be able to overcome it. Now we have all these same shortcomings having shone brightly on the NFL field and we STILL have people trying to convince themselves he'll be able to overcome it while ignoring that our past two wins and his improved play have come while riding the back of RB putting up GOAT RB production over the past two weeks. What changed wasn't Bryce. What changed is that Rico is playing out of his damn mind. Pretty much every NFL roster caliber QB can shine if he can get 200+ yards out of the RB behind him.
