i "think" its win + either an atl or cowgirls loss. need all but 1 8-5 nfc wildcard team to loose really and win ourselves (i know that much). we cant clinch the di unless we win, get a bucs loss, and likely need to win huge for points reasons. even then i think both the bucs and atl could still win the division.

win 2 and the bucs loose 1 and we get the division as well (if bucs win out we loose 1, idk the tiebreakers). win 3 and we get homefield.

I don't have the official list, but looking at the standings...

We're in with a win and a loss by two out of three following teams: Dallas, Philly, and Atlanta.

Because we are undefeated against the AFC, we don't hold any tiebreakers (our conference record would be worse, since they would have more NFC wins).

philly can win out and tie in the win department, we get 1 win, they cant pass us. only teams that can tie if we win 1 are dallas, and atl. so i still am going with them atm. after that idk tirbreakers on seeding. pure W-L record though that i think does it.

makes an intresting choice, go bucs or atl this weekend????

I believe if we beat the Broncos we get the division. Because TB and Atl have lost to them.

That isn't even close to being correct. An AFC win means very little to us, and if anything, the fact that we would be 4-0 against the AFC would hurt our chances in tiebreaker situations.

Even if Atlanta beats Tampa Bay and we win, we could all finish 11-5. Since we would all have three losses in the NFC South in that scenario, the next tiebreaker is conference record. Since our conference record would be the worst it could possibly be with an 11-5 record (7-5), we would lose the tiebreakers.

We can clinch the division in two weeks, but not this week.

i think in theory we can clinch homefield in 2 weeks as well (not counting on that one). if NY looses the next 2 we get #1 in the NFC. now i doubt that happens, but......

win next week is paramount

dallas has the giants, bucs and falcons go head to head. if we win, no matter what these games are good outcomes. the key matchups for not just us but the who playoff structure is these 3 weeks (14-16). most teams have a gimme in 17, atleast atl and the bucs. nyg have a testy one with the vikes, dallas with philly (but might not matter at this point).

      FA may or may not be the best option each time. You know as well as I do that the LT is the highest paid position on offense behind QB and WR. If you have cap concerns, it would be better to draft a quality LT and hold him for 3-4 years before you have to sign him to a long term (and expensive 2nd contract). I wouldn't want to acquire a run stuffing DT in FA if I could get a younger one much cheaper in the draft.  Let's say no good Safties are on the market when prior to drafting. Once again you'd go to the draft. FA is a good way to feel out the roster prior to the draft, but it's possible to REACH there too. FO's usually end up over playing guys (at least at certain positions) who have already peaked. Besides, you always have to consider that the team that let them go didn't think they were worth the price they were asking to retain them. That certainly applies to our defense. We could draft the BPA at any level of our defense and immediately improve our team. A stud on the line beside DB would help the the run and pass defense. Our LB core needs a thumper/impact player at any position. We need another CB to play alongside JC. We have yet to see a Safety on our roster significantly impact a game this year.

      Maybe Rod will change it up and slot Bussi in net. Why risk the inevitable injury to Freddie this early in the season against a team that will likely win regardless.  Just show up and play to win, that's all I ask.

      Well, I feel the same way about pharmaceutical, junk/fast food and political ads. They all cause active and KNOWN harm to the populace but we are the penultimate corrupt Western country, so that's just where we are as a society.
