The Perfect Week 14 to keep our playoff hopes alive


EgoDogg

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

Games with little impact
Saints at Buccaneers - 1:00 PM
Falcons at Packers - 1:00 PM
Rams at Bears - 8:20 PM

Games that don't matter
Jaguars at Titans
Ravens at Chiefs
Colts at Texans
Patriots at Dolphins
Jets at Bills
Bengals at Chargers
Broncos at 49ers

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.

    • He has been a starter most of his career.  Why does anyone thing he would willing come here to be our 3rd TE?  
    • I've liked him since his rookie year as a prospect, but when he's been asked to play in a large capacity, he has simply not done well.   He does not really add anything, rather muddies up the room.  Fant is TERRIBLE as a blocker, a pure receiving TE.   Let's just put Tremble aside since he's PUP (although I still like him as a TE2, but yeah he's not our future starter)... Sanders has already shown better receiving skills than a Fant and has a nice ceiling.  Not to mention, he's got in-line run blocking skills.  I really want to see what he's capable of this year.  Also has a year+ experience now in Canales' offense, not to mention legit chemistry with Bryce. And after Sanders, I also imagine our staff is waiting to see how Mitchell Evans looks in camp as he's got the in-line blocking skills.  If he looks fully capable of filling in behind Sanders, then I don't see a need.  Overall, keep an eye out on early August moves.  They are usually soft indicators of how staff's view their rookie late rounders and roster overall.  This is a wait and see what the market presents and how they think their unit looks in camp.  
    • Every team has different needs of the backup QB.   On some teams a young hopeful makes sense and on others an old worn out dude makes sense.  We are a little more in the in-between IMO where you probably would prefer a Fields, Pickett, Howell type IMO.   So a young disappoint that you there is still some hail mary hope in.....given BY essentially was benched both seasons for performance (I know that's not the official line going into Seattle but I think most would agree he got a break and should of been benched later that year).  I know we want Bryce to be the week 17 guy all season this upcoming year.  But it's still in the reasonable thought process that the other dude could show back up.
