Let’s go Cardinals

[Panthers Fan 69]

Tmrw we are Cards fans. They beat the Bucs. We are in 1st place via tie breaker.  Been soooo long(2017) since meaningful December football. 
 

let’s go Cards!!!

If Arizona wins tomorrow I think we could win the south next week with a win and New Orleans loss.

The cardinals are beyond lifeless

according to this playoff machine thing it wouldnt be locked unless Atlanta also lost to arizona next week.  Oddly, In the playoff machine thing, if tampa loses out, Atlanta wins the last 2, (last week against tampa), and we lose to the saints who lose next week, but beat us in the last week, the saints somehow win the division, but if tampa beat atlanta in the last game of the season even if we lose, we're in.  This division is all sorts of fugy.

If we win next we we’d both have 7 wins even if Atlanta won out. I think we’d have tiebreaker over them based on division record. I could be wrong.

Im not sure how, or why, but with the scenario I mentioned, this is whats coming out of the playoff machine.

I didn't believe it at first but that's actually right. In that scenario, Carolina, New Orleans and Atlanta would be tied at 7-10. The first tie breaker for the division is record between the tied teams. In the scenario you outlined, those would be:

Carolina: 2-2

Atlanta: 1-3

New Orleans: 3-1

That would be a really sucky way to lose the division but amazingly in play.

The cards are horrific, if the bucs lose to them they are a joke.

I can't imagine the Cardinals winning, but we'll see.

We have two scenarios. We win out or Tampa loses out(plus the saints loose to Philly). Anything else and we don’t make the playoffs. We can lose to the saints, if we beat Tampa next week and still make it in. Caveat: All our hopes would be resting on Atlanta at that point.

The Bucs have been pretty horrific this december.  I think this one is 50/50.
