What should be the most huddle centric ending possible?

we lose to Tampa.  Game ends early and we all switch over to watch Shough lead them on a….GWD

Shough gets enough "big time throws" to eclipse Bryce "the cannon" Young's single season record.

I don't give a crap about the Falcons game if we can't take care of business Saturday I don't want to be in the playoffs.

If we lose to the Bucs on Saturday I'll absolutely be rooting for the Saints. Sorry, that would just be the saddest, most undeserving feeling division championship possible. I'd rather not win it than "win" it that way.

There are “win it that way” or “lose it that way” scenarios in many games throughout the season. I’ll take it if we would get into the postseason by this unlikely scenario.

nah man I ain't here for a participation trophy.  If we were a good team who has underachieved all year I might could accept it but we are a bad team who has honestly just had some serious luck this year.  If we can't win it outright I don't want it.  Call me a bad fan I don't care.

I don't want to back into the playoffs. If they can't take care of business, then stay home.

See the "participation trophy" thing is not on point. As always, literally, it's all about math. Each team begins the season with the same opportunity and if it comes down to a tiebreaker, that means one team did enough while the other one(s) did not. Win one more game throughout a 17 game season, and you don't have to rely on tiebreakers.

I get what you are saying is technically correct but winning a division with a losing record off a loss on a tiebreaker just feels dirty.  The NFC South does not even deserve a team in the playoffs this year.  I wish they would just take the best teams regardless of divisions but it is what it is.

It's no longer unlikely

How strange.  No one wants the NFCS Title.

(1) The Falcons have done everything imaginable to give it to us.

(2) The Saints stink but have done everything imaginable to keep it from us.

(3) The Bucs spent half a season in each role.

(4) We keep shooting ourselves in the foot when it's right there for the taking.

Ironic that the end result will come down to all four of these factors this weekend.

The playoffs is like a big dance....................you need to have a ticket to get in and no matter how you end up with a ticket you are in the dance .........and what happens from there is anyone's guess.

At the beginning of the season.............who would have thunk the Panthers have a better record by the end of Dec than KC would???

I'm no fan of Bryce or this HC but another game means more season for you guys..............

We basically have Seattle or the 49ers at this point right? I’d rather avoid the Rams again. If we have to play an NFC West team, I would prefer we play one that we haven’t beaten already. 

Can't play the rams after their loss last night.   

Out of the two I'd strongly prefer they niners as their defense isn't very good at all, and both opposing QBs are turnover prone.

[WUnderhill]

Weird mindsets. If they win the division, they win the division. I get wanting to beat the Bucs, but jfc get a hold of yourselves.

I don't want to back into the playoffs. Either win the game or sit down
