Wild card race

[Duncan81]

I didnt see another thread about this but anyway here goes.....

what does the wild card playoff race look like we should be right there in the thick of it with a win today right?...

[mr beauxjangles]

Here's the situation (obviously dependent upon 4:00 games):

Division leaders:

New Orleans (9-0) (6-0 NFC)

Minnesota (8-1) (6-0 NFC)

Dallas (6-2) (5-1 NFC) - game in progress against Green Bay

Arizona (5-3) (3-2 NFC) - game in progress against Seattle

Wild Card:

Philadelphia (5-3) (4-2 NFC) - looks like falling to Chargers and to 5-4

Atlanta (5-4) (4-3 NFC)

New York (5-4) (3-3 NFC)

Green Bay (4-4) (3-3 NFC) - game in progress against Dallas

San Francisco (4-5) (4-2 NFC)

Carolina (4-5) (4-4 NFC)

Chiacgo (4-5) (2-4 NFC)

We're incredibly just one game out. We have the hardest schedule remaining of all of those mediocre teams fighting it out for those wild card spots though and keep suffering devastating injuries. But hey, one game out is one game out. Not a single person on this board thought that we would have another chance at the playoffs when we were sitting there at 0-3 and then again after that Bills loss.

Yup, time to root for some losses by the other WC teams...

[mr beauxjangles]

It's still a huge long shot given the schedule, but it's time to pull for all the division leaders to keep winning - Dallas today, plus Chargers over Philly.

[mav1234]

It's a long shot, but we've got a chance. The Panthers can hang with anyone.

[Sam Mills Fan]

Biggest thing is that the Panthers seem to be getting better while the other teams with similar records seem to be getting worse. I don't know if any of the other teams on that list can say that they're 4-2 over their past 6.

Would be great to see the Eagles lose to the Chargers, they're down 14-3. I can't decide who I want to lose with Dallas/Green Bay? When in doubt root against the Cowboys, I guess.

Fox always peaks in Nov/Dec, and last year completely collapsed in January when it really counted.

No sir. Green Bay has almost no shot of winning their divison but are still very much alive in the wild card. Meanwhile, Dallas is on top of their divison - a loss to green bay would just further muddy the wild water above us. We could use a win from Dallas - push green bay down to our level in the wild card race.

That's how I see it and I hate Dallas.

God help me for wanting the cowboys to win.
