Playoff Picture

I' love to think that, but after looking at the upcoming schedules the division winner could very easily come down to the Broncos/Chargers game week 17.

If the 5-8 Chargers can beat KC and TB, and if Denver (8-5) loses (which there is very good chance of) to Carolina and Buffalo, it will come down to that final game.

 

Interesting...

 

I think you're in great shape to win it, Carolina and Buffalo will be tough games, but I don't think the Chargers will have much of a chance in Tampa Bay. Tough place to play, tough defense, and Jeff Garcia is an animal.

You may escape winning it @ 8-8, but Chargers will probably be 6-10, or 7-9.

 

I'm sure glad the refs gave us some love early on... :icon_mrgreen:

 

So if the Eagles win out and the Falcons lose at least one game, we're in.

 

Were in if we win out and the falcons tie a game too ther-twothumbsup:

 

Yup and the upcoming games are the bucs vikeings and rams. I really hope they lose to the bucs cause i dont expect the vikes or rams to beat them.

 

Once again we need Jeff Garcia to save us
lol

 

:icon_lol:

I just hope Andy & Marty learned a lesson from the running game the past two weeks. If they go back to the old way of passing so much, we won't win out.

 

I think our chances of winning out are pretty good the browns game shouldent be to hard the skins arent the same team we played the first time and the cowboys game will be tough but we can beat them. We should have won the first game but mcnabb caused a fumble.

Dident know your his little messanger lol. Leave it alone i like the fact he has me on ignore hes annoying.

 

I obviously don't.

 

I agree that we can win out, but don't forget what this team has done at times this season. I thought the Bengals would be an easy victory. The Skins & Cowboys are both division opponents who beat us. Neither game is a gimme.

 

Definitely we have to go all out on all 3 teams no taking any team lightly.

 

Too much green on this page, I gotta interrupt.

But in all seriousness, I think we'll beat the Bucs at home next week, the loss to the Saints HURT, but if we win out, that wildcard spot is ours.

We can still win the division, if Carolina wins tonight, that helps us out big time. Carolina has the hardest schedule left, and they have a hard time winning on the road.

The scenario:
We win next week v. Tampa
Carolina finishes 1-2
It wouldn't matter what happens with New Orleans or Tampa afterwards.

We would all be tied at 11-5 (except NO at 10-6....at best), it would come down to common and conference games which we've done best in (I believe).

 

He's right.

 

right now

the NFC South is way up for grabs

everyone has beaten each other except for 3 division games that have yet to happen

the two remaining division games coming up, the one this weekend and the one in week 17

if Atlanta beats tampa bay this sunday and New Orleans beats Carolina in the final week

everyone in the NFC south will end up with a .500 pct in division games lol

as far as Common games and conference games go

Conference

Carolina - 7/3 .700
Tampa Bay - 7/3 .700
Atlanta - 5/5 .500
New Orleans - 4/6 .400

Common games

Carolina - 6/1 .857
Atlanta - 6/1 .857
Tampa Bay - 4/1 .800
New Orleans - 4/2 .667

 

The NFL sent out their scenarios this week and they are 3 pages long. I think there are 7 different ways just Carolina alone can make the playoffs this week...

I'd love to see a copy of that...
