Current NFC Standings (Its not Pretty)


Hoenheim

Recommended Posts

 If the playoffs started today we'd be the 8th seed. 

  • 1. 49ers 8 - 0  (5 - 0 conference) (NFC WEST DIVISION LEADER) (1 SEED)
  • 2. Saints 7 - 1 (5 - 1 conference)  (NFC SOUTH DIVISION LEADER) (2 SEED) 
  • 3. Packers 7 - 2 (4 - 1 conference) (NFC NORTH DIVISION LEADER) (3 SEED)
  • 4. 8. Cowboys 4 - 3 ( 3 - 2 conference)  (NFC EAST DIVISION LEADER) (4 SEED)
  • 5. Seahawks 7 - 2 (4 - 1 conference) (5th SEED)
  • 6. Vikings 6 - 3 ( 5 - 2 conference)  (6th SEED)

 

  • On the Outside  Looking In...

 

  • 7. Rams 5 - 3 ( 3 - 3 conference) (with head to head tiebreaker over Panthers) (7th SEED)
  • 8. Panthers 5 - 3 (2 - 3 conference )  (8th SEED) 
  • 9. Eagles 5 - 4 (3 - 4 conference)  (9th SEED)
  • 10. Lions 3-4-1 (2-2-1 conference) (10th SEED) 

 

Getting off to a bad start in the NFC has left almost ZERO room for error. We pretty much have to beat the Packers if we even want to sniff the playoffs wc spot.

just went through the remainder of CAR, MIN, LAR, SEA schedules... [legit teams fighting for the WC spots]

looks like the Rams will easily take the 1st WC spot.. MIN and SEA and CAR could all end up with a 10-6 record and tiebreakers will come into effect.. I have us splitting with NO because they might be resting starters come week 11..

So the key is to keep winning?

winning eliminates all errors.  13-3 should win 1st or 2nd seed right?

Rams are not that good.  They could end up 9-7

people are saying its mid season whatever..

I'm looking at the standings and this Green Bay game looks like all or nothing 

If we only lose one game the rest of the way, we are certainly making the playoffs.  We are likely to make the playoffs even if we lose two (but depends how the other games fall out).  But I can't help but worry if we have to sweep both ATL and NO because no matter how bad a division rival's record is, those games are always rough, and we are going to need to if we lose to GB.

edit: it seems like it is possible even if we go 5-3 we could make the playoffs if the rest of the NFC slumps a little.  They might, too... GB and MN didn't look nearly as good today...

Lots of teams will make lots of errors.  Last year at this time, we were solidly in according to most experts. 

 

To early to worry about what other teams are doing.  If we get to 11 wins, we will be in.  10 wins is always dicey.

If the freaking Bucs don’t blow another one the Packers, Vikings AND Hawks all lose today. It’s an uphill battle but anything is possible, we have a defense capable of keeping us in games and a qb who for the most part makes good decisions with the ball. Will need other players besides  CMC to make plays .

    • What's up gents, the OGs remember me, the guy who single-handedly gave the Panthers the greatest uniform in history moniker. Not too long after that I got involved with Pro Football Focus (pre-Collinsworth acquisition) and ended up taking backseat here to preserve some objectivity. But from a distance I noticed a lot. After the end of the Cam era this place devolved into the most un-fun, petty, negative cesspool of whining and bitching that has ever graced the internet. The worst part of it all is that the level of discussion turned into the most ill-informed, hot-take, unnuanced crap, rife with people talking out of their posteriors as if they have any clue about what they are watching. Once you get into the professional side of the sport and actual film rooms, you start to understand there's an absurd number of moving parts to pretty much every snap and the details you are privy to are truly only half the picture. The absolute most important thing I learned from being part of professional level football analysis is that quarterbacking is literally the most intricate and difficult position in all of professional sports, and that the NFL itself is struggling to develop any workable model that allows them to understand what makes one succeed vs what makes one fail. Because of this paradox it has also made the quarterback position itself grossly overvalued from a fan and media standpoint, creating an absurd fixation on the results delivered by a single player who has to rely on the contributions of everyone around them. This also drives the dreaded inflation of QB salaries that inevitably cause even elite teams to lose key talent all to pour cash into the one player supposed to be able to single-handedly elevate the entire team (and defense and special teams and coaching and ownership by some mysterious proxy), yet without those same players even talented teams can wander the wilderness searching for the right guy to take advantage of their talent window. The discussions the last few years around Bryce has personified this insanity, as this board has devolved into some sort of electronic civil war between the hyperbolic Young supporters and the vitriolic Bryce haters. The reality, like practically everything in this world, is somewhere in the middle. He has traits that can absolutely elevate a team with creativity, play recognition, off-arm angle throws, mental toughness, etc. He's also physically limited, with mostly "good-enough" qualities for most situations that a professional quarterback is asked to do, and will never be an overpowering physical force like pre-injury Cam. But "good-enough" physicality represents a large majority of championship-winning quarterbacks, even in the modern era. There's a reason the corpse of Peyton Manning took the chip from elite physical specimen Cam, because the team surrounding him was talented enough to get him there, while we all know Cam was the driving force of that 2015 team. That's no knock on him, that's just how the game of football tends to work: the more complete team usually wins. The summary is this: if this team lives or dies solely on the performance of its quarterback, then it is absolutely a paper tiger even if he plays brilliantly week in and out. There are no superheroes in this sport, there are only conduits that proxy the collective efforts of much of the team around them. And no one alive can tell you how the position is played perfectly, it's all a confluence of circumstance and what unique collection of traits each player brings to the position, which can never be truly recreated season after season, even for the same player on the same team. If this place remains a raging hellscape of idiotic hot takes I will happily remove myself again and do something more productive for yet another decade, but maybe's there hope that we can all get back to the old adage, and keep pounding.
