Current playoff picture:
5th - Seahawks (8-6, just lost to the 49ers)
6th - Vikings (7-6-1, just beat Dolphins)
7th - Eagles (7-7, just beat the Rams)
8th - Redskins (7-7, just beat the Jaguars)
9th - Panthers (6-7, play tonight)

Everyone else is eliminated.

Seahawks play the Chiefs (11-3) and Cardinals (3-11) in the next two weeks.
Vikings play the Lions (5-9) and Bears (10-4) their last two weeks.
Eagles play the Texans (10-4) and Redskins (7-7) in their last two weeks.
Redskins play the Titans (8-6) and Eagles (7-7) in their last two weeks. 
Panthers play the Saints (11-2), Falcons (5-9), and Saints (11-2) in our last three weeks. 

The only team in a good position are the Seahawks, who just have to win a game to get in. They could also tie a game and probably get in, and could lose out and still get in depends on how everyone else does. They control their own fate.

Out of the rest, the Vikings are in the best shape and control their own fate. However, if they lose out they are basically done. Why? the Redskins or Eagles play each other, and unless they tie that means one of them is guaranteed a win, which would put them at 8 wins. With the Seahawks at 8 wins as well, that means 7-8-1 won't get them in - but 7-7-2 might however as that equals an 8-8 record.

The Eagles and Redskins both play tough teams this week, meaning they might both be 7-8 going into the final week with a climatic "win and in" game against each other.

Meanwhile our fate pretty much rests on tonight. If we win out, we have to hope for either the Seahawks to lose out or for the Vikings to lose once. We could get in at 8-8 in theory but it's not likely at all, our season basically rests on tonight.

Seahawks will be 9-7 and pretty much guaranteed the 5 seed since they hold most tiebreakers I think. Vikings definitely lose to Bears if you ask me but likely beat Lions, which means we’d have to win out to get in over them.

 

I suppose if the Vikings do lose out we could get in at 8-8 easily with Skins losing out and Eagles losing to Texans, which are both the most likely scenarios for them in my opinion, but that hinges on the unlikely scenario of Vikes losing out.

So if we lose tonight

We are 100% out.

Because even if Seattle loses out , theyd have the head to head

The Eagles and Redskins face each other so 1 of them wont lose out.  And both are a game ahead of us

Not 100% because the Vikings could lose out (7-8-1) or lose and tie (7-7-2) and that would allow an 8-8 team to get in.

The NFC is straight trash this year outside of the top three. All we had to do was not suck horribly this year and we would've been guaranteed a playoff spot. Started out 6-2 and then Ron said, "Hold my beer..."

The same goes for the AFC, and hell the best team is considered a wild card team. Pretty fuging bad.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
