First of all one of us could clinch a playoff spot this week

NO.pngNEW ORLEANS can clinch a playoff berth with:

  1. WIN + DAL loss + PHI loss + ARI loss

CAR.pngCAROLINA can clinch a playoff berth with:

  1. WIN + DAL loss + PHI loss + ARI loss + SF loss

 

 

Secondly the next 4 games and winning the division

1) Obviously if either one of us sweep we will take the division

2) If we match each other the rest of the way we will have identical records in the divison and for common games. Unfortunately the next tiebreaker is wins within the conference which NO holds and advantage by 1. So if we both lose another, we need to lose against the jets and New Orleans can lose to either the Rams or Bucs. EDIT: IF NEW ORLEANS loses to the Bucs we get in on division DUH

3) Strength of victory. NO has a slight lead .435 to .421. Right now our opponents are identical: Panthers and New Orleans at 9-3 Rams and Jets at 5-7 Tampa and Atlanta at 3-9. So technically we want the Jets and Falcons to win and the Rams and Bucs to lose overf the next few weeks except when they play New Orleans. EDIT: I don't think this comes into play.

 

Here are all the scenarios:

 

 

MAKE SENSE?

Sweep the Saints = division winner.

 

Splitting w/ the Saints would require the Saints to lose to either to the Rams or the Bucs for Carolina to win the Division. Assuming a split, Carolina could lose to the Jets (but not the Falcons) and still win the division if the Saints' loss is against the Bucs. If Saints loss is against Rams, then Carolina has to beat Jets/ Falcons.

 

Carolina only needs two wins to guarantee a WC spot so even if we get swept by the Saints beating Jets/Falcons gets us in.

ummm if they lose to the bucs we win the division cause our division record would be better than theirs cause i do not see us losing the the Falcons

      NFC South is now ACTIVATED

      I will as soon as you withdraw your fandom from the Patriots. Informative threads are great but all of these estrogen and emotion driven threads you start are ridiculous.

      Canes vs Panthers 7pm

      By Anybodyhome · Posted

      Will be there tonight and expect nothing from the Canes. They are soft and won't go after anyone, nor will they respond when, not if, Florida starts bullying them. Not to mention Freddie is in net. I fear this will be an ass-kicking.

      QB School - Bryce Young vs Bucs

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Is this not a bit contradictory?  Also surely if any of us are smart enough to evaluate what we're seeing in real time, a former NFL QB can at least manage the same.  Especially considering he's basing his analysis on hours (maybe generous?) of reviewing All-22 footage which he can play back over and over again, focusing each time on different position groups, match-ups, progressions, etc. which is simply impossible for a fan to fully assess in real time.  Unless you're actually at the game, we basically only get the QB/O-line in frame during the broadcast and even in that limited window of the field, there is simply too much happening.  I'm usually broadly focusing on Bryce, maybe peeping the footwork (or lack thereof) and just the overall pocket and whether there is any pressure coming.  I'm not able to watch every individual one-on-one o-line match-up on top of it to see who got beat, who didn't pick up a blitz, which o-lineman didn't shift to help double-team, or whatever else. I think the truth is somewhere in between (as is almost always the case).  Knowing the play call, audible, etc. is pretty important when judging individual performances, which is why we should always take PFF grades with a grain of salt.  But yeah we can also get a pretty good overall sense of how a player is performing just from watching the game on the couch on Sundays.  I still think there's a lot of value in a review video like this.  As long as you have the bare minimum media literacy to take the interesting insights while also acknowledging inherent biases from a video like this (i.e. obviously focusing on the good over the bad).
