The Perfect Week 14 to keep our playoff hopes alive

Recommended Posts

I did this last week and pretty much everything went our way, except the most important thing -- us winning. Anyways, I'll do this until the playoffs begin or we're officially eliminated.

Games that matter
Panthers at Browns - 1:00 PM
Giants at Redskins - 1:00 PM
Eagles at Cowboys - 4:25 PM
Vikings at Seahawks - MNF

Bold = Who to root for if you still want a playoff birth

Playoff Standings if all goes according to plan

Rams at Bears - 8:20 PM

Games that don't matter
Jaguars at Titans
Ravens at Chiefs
Colts at Texans

We actually have a realistic shot IF we can take care of Atl and Cle and get one of the Saints games.  

Agreed. Despite the team forgetting how to win the last 4 weeks, the universe decided to keep us alive. The last 2 weeks were pretty much the NBA playoffs. Yeah, you can drop 1 or 2, but it's still possible to come back.

This week is pretty much sudden death for this team though. Lose it and you can all but kiss the season goodbye.

Sanchez is playing for washington now (lol).  Just need the Vikings to lose a couple and somehow finish 3-1.  Its now or never.

Vikings Remaining Games:
@ Seahawks
vs Dolphins
@ Lions
vs Bears

No actual gimmies in there. Just have to handle our own. Easier said than done as of late.

If you take our games out of the equation, we have a pretty realistic shot of making the playoffs.

Yeah if the season ended today and they swapped us for Washington b/c Buttfumble and then the head to head against Philly, they may let us in the college football playoff. But we'd be backing in and Oklahoma is sneaky.

Having been bored on a conference call, I had time to do this.  Here are the "in the hunt" teams for the wild card slots, their records, the record of their remaining opponents, and who their opponents are.  I don't know what it tells us other than if the Eagles manage to win their division or somehow grab a wild card, they will have earned it down the stretch.

All three NFCE teams are listed, even though one of them will elevate themselves off this list because the NFL will require that somebody wins the division.  I personally think the Redskins have a bigger hurdle than the Eagles because they are down to picking QBs off bar stools due to injuries.

Seattle (7-5, 21-26-1)

  • Minnesota (6-5-1)
  • At San Fran (2-10)
  • Kansas City (10-2)
  • Arizona (3-9)

Dallas (7-5, 21-27)

  • Philadelphia (6-6)
  • At Indy (6-6)
  • Tampa (5-7)
  • At NY Giants (4-8)

Minnesota (6-5-1, 25-23)

  • At Seattle (7-5)
  • Miami (6-6)
  • At Detroit (4-8)
  • Chicago (8-4)

Panthers (6-6, 28-19-1)

  • At Cleveland (4-7-1)
  • New Orleans (10-2)
  • Atlanta (4-8)
  • At New Orleans (10-2)

Philadelphia (6-6, 33-15)

  • At Dallas (7-5)
  • At LA Rams (11-1)
  • Houston (9-3)
  • At Washington (6-6)

Washington (6-6, 20-28)

    • Bryce and Dave will determine how many games this team wins next year. It’s not on the WRs. The RBs. LBs. This is about 2 things: 1. Can Bryce continue to come up big in the few key downs that decide most games?  2. Can Canales evolve his play calling to counter punch like the big boys do. Half time adjustments.  teams that score 30+ points on the regular win more games than not. That’s on Bryce and Dave. The offense is top 10 at every position group, save for TE and QB. A baller TE is gravy but not crucial when the receivers are dudes.  The defense is the defense. It’ll be better this season, hopefully by a large margin, but Dave/Bryce is really where it’s at. 
    • Normally I'd wholeheartedly agree with this. But I feel like teams figured out this offense after the Raiders game. Bryce was so inept the first 2 games that we couldn't really even run the offense. Dalton's first game showed what we had. But after that game, coverages got a lot tighter and windows were smaller. When Bryce came back in, his ability to extend plays made a big difference. It's really difficult to stop a QB that can beat/escape 1on1 tacklers. It puts a lot of pressure on the defense when you blitz. And he was completing throws in tight coverage with anticipation. Point being Bryce wasn't throwing to wide open receivers that were schemed open by the offense. Occasionally yes. But not often. 
    • With the additions we've made to our roster combined with the state of the division and the conference as a whole there is no excuse for this team not to make a legitimate push for 8-9 wins. Anything less is honestly inexcusable. There will be no more free passes for being a doormat in this iteration of the league where even mediocre teams are competing for playoff spots.
