2017 NFC Playoff Thread

Dallas won as well. With Atlanta earlier did we gain on anyone in front of us?

No. Our only hope is that Seattle loses this afternoon.

 

[manchild98]

We just don't own a tie break against anyone in front of us. And 10-6 will be the worst wild card playoff record in the NFC this year.

 

[manchild98]

Our only change is if Atlanta loses it's last 2 games against the Saints and Carolina and finished 9-7 and Seattle loses 3 of it's last 4 against the Jags, Rams, Cowboys and Cardinals. I don't think Seattle loses 3 of those games.

Divisional tiebreak rule works in favor of the Lions, need to tie with both South teams to get in.

Lions should hold the tiebreak over the Seahawks in a win-out scenario.

yeah I just checked that against the seahawks. Right now we are 3-1 against common opponents and the seahawks are 2-2 with another game against the cardinals remaining.

don't forget about the 2 teams that are tied with the Lions as well. There could be tiebreakers with them.

Even IF they win out...it's still a longshot.

Cowboys-Seahawks will probably sort things out

If the Lions can't beat the Packers, then they're done anyway.

We own the tie break over GB and Dallas right now.

Wins tie break over Dallas based on best win percentage in common games. Division tie break was initially used to eliminate Green Bay (Detroit wins tie break over Green Bay based on head-to-head win percentage).
Wins tie break over Green Bay based on head-to-head win percentage.

that and they need to win out and pray other teams lose.

 

[manchild98]

Rodgers probably comes back next week. They have @Carolina, Minnesota and @ Detroit. He'll make sure we finish 9-7.

 

[grandy]

Seattle is going to lose

Phi not allowed to win this game... wentz injured. Not allowed to win games if people get injured.

Having a quality back up is so huge. Foles didn't miss a beat. Great game.

 

[manchild98]

I keep seeing a lot of people saying Wentz torn ACL.

 

[biggunsbob]

Glimmer of hope !

Glimmer of hope !

Really? I thought that's not what we wanted?

 

[manchild98]

Seattle, sitting in the 7 seed, controls it's own destiny to win the NFC West if they beat the Rams at home next week.

Well if we are going to end up 10-6 I want them in the playoffs. Lions will screw up any draft pick anyway .. might as well be in the playoffs .. which I doubt will happen.
