NFC Playoff Picture - 12/26/2011

[grandy]

Arizona just won, so they're still in it.

How Detroit can get into the playoffs
- Winning one of their next two games
OR
- Seattle, Chicago, and Arizona losing one of their next two games

How Detroit can miss the playoffs
- Losing their next two games
AND
- Chicago winning their next two games
- Seattle winning their next two games
- Arizona winning their next two games

All 3 teams will have the conference record edge over the Lions in each case

How Detroit can get the 5th seed
- Detroit wins out and Atlanta loses one game
OR
- If Detroit wins one of their next two and Atlanta loses both their games

Here is how I see it:

If we go 2-0 (11-5):
In Guaranteed

If we go 1-1 (10-6):
In Guaranteed

If we go 0-2 (9-7):
Only way not in is if one of these happen:
1)Seattle goes 2-0 we are out based on tiebreaker
2)Arizona goes 2-0 we are out based on tiebreaker

Chicago still has a chance based on conference record

There is no way Chicago beats GB at Lambeau

Perhaps, but it's still mathematically possible.

 

[tinselwolverine]

Chicago still has a pretty easy schedule left so hopefully the Cutler loss has a big impact and they crumble. That loss to Atlanta really looks like it MAY cost us a playoff spot.

Dallas being in the mix helps us though, if the Gmen can claim that East spot we hold the tiebreaker over Dallas. The Gmen taking first and the Bears fading with the loss of Cutler would help us tremendously when it comes to a playoff spot.

It doesn't matter either way.

The GMen have to win the East, or they're out.

???Most likely no but its possible on chi in gb. Nonetheless, just win next week and no worries.

Chicago still has a chance based on conference record

GB needs to clinch home field advantage next week so they can rest guys vs the Lions. GB lost today so they're going to take it out on Chicago next week.

 

[Mitchrapp]

If SF loses tonight, GB will clinch.

 

[manchild98]

Mitch[/color]]If SF loses tonight, GB will clinch.

Shit (game is Monday Night).

 

[Mitchrapp]

Yeah, MNF. Though I find it hard Chicago can win. Though if I had to quess assume they clinch, they want to get that stink out and they'll bust Chicago.

GB needs to clinch home field advantage next week so they can rest guys vs the Lions. GB lost today so they're going to take it out on Chicago next week.

GB could clinch home field Monday Night actually if SF loses

They have the head to head tiebreaker over New Orleans

Doing the math for SF right now, but it would require GB to lose out and SF to win out

 

[grandy]

I believe SF could gain home field if they win out and GB lost the rest.

Common Games
Detroit (2x for Green Bay)
St. Louis (2x for SF)
NY Giants
Tampa Bay

SF would be 5-0
GB would be 4-1

 

[manchild98]

Mitch[/color]]Yeah, MNF. Though I find it hard Chicago can win. Though if I had to quess assume they clinch, they want to get that stink out and they'll bust Chicago.

Yeah. That's there rival and they will want to prove to themselves that the Chiefs game was a fluke. Chicago has zero offense right now. Unless Rodgers gets hurt I can't see a scenario where the Bears pull off an upset on the road.

Seattleand Arizona play each other so that will knock one of them out.

 

[zoombabyzoom]

How in the fuck does Arizona have 7 wins?

 

[adam86107]

If season ended today we'd have handshake fight part II: Yell down in the Bay

 

[cheeno]

Better if SF loses. They would move into the third seed which would set them up to play the sixth seed which just might be...

 

[adam86107]

Yeah i was assuming they get 3rd seed

 

[adam86107]

I like Detroit's chances of getting the 5th seed.

2)Arizona goes 2-0 we are out based on tiebreaker

Since Seattle plays Arizona week 17, doesnt that mean we clinched today? Or am I missing something?
