Hey look both Dawson and Cribbs are doing well. We should have never let them walk.

Having a punt return game would be nice. Oh and the ability to hit more than a 50 yarder.

Common Opponents: NFC South, AFC East
Green Bay: Two divisional and three C.O games remain and it is highly possible the NFCN will be decided by tie-breakers. Green Bay is in great position so far, a win vN.E will put them in excellent shape.

Detroit: The Lions, due to their win vs G.B earlier in the season, could head into Week 17 one game behind and still be win-and-in. So wins vChi, vT.B, vMin, and @Chi would leave them in control of their destiny. Losing a game would mean they'll need some help from Packers' opponents.

Chicago: Chicago has to win out and get lots of help.

Minnesota: Essentially finished, they would need to win out and get tons of help.

Atlanta: They could conceivably finish 6-0 in the division and 0-10 outside of it. Root for history! Seriously though, if they beat N.O again they'd have the tie-breaker, so seven wins might be enough. Hell, six wins miiiiiiight be enough.

New Orleans: After a disastrous homestand they are still in control of their NFCS destiny. A win vAtl in Wk16 would give them the tie-breaker assuming they match the Falcons overall divisional record.

Carolina: One win in the last nine games, a malfunctioning offense, and an employed Shula. And yet they're still only a half-game behind, and 4 sub-.500 opponents (and an inconsistent Cleveland squad) remain.

Tampa Bay: Despite being only two games out, their terrible divisional record and the remaining Atl@N.O match makes their hopes quite slim.

Arizona Cardinals: Remain in fantastic position for the NFCW title, a bye, and the #1 Seed, but their offense is fizzling and the schedule is very tough. They are S.F fans this Thursday since they have a win over the Niners already.

San Francisco 49ers: Another win over a team they were expected to beat, although it was much closer than it should have been. With 2 NFCW losses already on the boards, their push for the division title essentially requires them to win out in-division and hope Ari drops another game somewhere.

Seattle Seahawks: If they can win at Levi's then they'll be in decent shape for catching up to Arizona, although their schedule is quite tough: the Rams are the "easy" match-up.

St.Louis Rams: Must win out AND have Arizona lose out AND have Seattle and San Fran split their series AND have Seattle and San Fran lose all other matches.

Common Opponents: AFC West, NFC North

Eliminated: New York (Wk12)
New England Patriots: Effectively 1.5 games ahead for the #1 Seed due to tie-breakers. Plenty of ways to clinch the AFCE by the end of Week 14. Schedule is quite tough for the next three weeks though, so Denver/AFCN leader/Indy/Miami could make things interesting.

Miami Dolphins: The very tough losses to the Lions and Broncos mean that Miami is very unlikely to win the division and are in need of quite a lot of help in the Wild Card race. Since there are a lot of AFCN matches left, and S.D and K.C also have a few match-ups vs the AFCN, a lot of wins will get handed out among those 6 contenders. Miami will likely need to go 4-1 (assuming a loss @N.E) and get some help to end up in an ideal tie-breaker scenario at 10-6.

Buffalo Bills: Essentially must win out and get lots of help. Very bad AFC record and losses to Wild Card competitors make that path very tough as well, 10-6 will likely not be enough.

Common Opponents: AFC South, NFC South
Cincinnati Bengals: Their final four games are against winning teams, so they can't afford to overlook the Bucs next week. If they can win vPit, @Cle, and one other match, then they'll be at 10-5-1 and Pit and Cle will be at 5+ losses, which is a pretty good base for winning the division.

Baltimore Ravens: Currently holding a Wild Card spot and they arguably have the easiest remaining schedule of all AFCN teams. That being said, their next two matches are vs Wild Card competitors so their status could change in a hurry.

Pittsburgh Steelers: Very tough schedule to finish the season, but they have an excellent tie-breaker setup right now, only falling behind Baltimore when it's a 3-way tie with Cleveland. They need to win vN.O to match the Bengals and Ravens.

Cleveland Browns: Winning ugly but it could get them to the post-season. Their @Bal match matters more than their vCin match since they can't finish tied with the Bengals (barring more ties). For similar reasons they'll root for the Bengals to sweep the Steelers, since that would wreck Pittsburgh's divisional record and help the Browns in tie-breakers.

Indianapolis Colts: Can clinch as early as Wk13 with any 3 {Colts wins, Texans losses}.

Houston Texans: Well, if they can win two games vs weaker divisional opponents, and the Browns can eek out a win vs Indy, and Houston can pull off the upset in Indy, then Houston will be one game behind and in a bad but not terrible tie-breaker position. Anything short of that and it'll be time to scout the draft.

Eliminated: Oakland (Wk11)
Denver Broncos: Denver hasn't looked great for a while now, eeking out another close win vs the Dolphins. They do have a nice tie-breaker advantage with nary an AFCW loss though. That being said, Denver's road games @K.C and @S.D are suddenly incredibly significant, and losing both would likely put one of the Chiefs or Chargers in the lead.

Kansas City Chiefs: Losing to Oakland with 4 playoff contenders still on the schedule really hurts their AFCW title hopes. A wild card is iffy at this point when you compare the schedules of the AFCN teams to K.C. The match vDen is must-win for division title hopes to continue.

San Diego Chargers: S.D is in bad shape vs Denver in divisional tie-breakers and in bad shape vs K.C in C.O tie-breakers. They'll likely need to finish 4-1 or better and get help (or 3-2 and get tons of help), which is a tough path considering their schedule.

Okay, you have the Giants and Redskins being eliminated from playoff contention but either of them can sneak in at 8-8 I think. I at least figured out how to have the Giants sneak in at 8-8 by tying with the Eagles at 8-8 and having the rest of the current 7 win teams ending up at 7-9.

EDIT: I'm not particularly good at this and I'm sure I have tons of unnecessary games selected but

Yea but like I've said before, Rivers has a knack of destroying the Ravens D. Even when the defense had its best personnel I've never seen any other QB that could hang 24+ points on them consistently.

I'm hoping for a game like the one in San Diego that ended with Lewis tackling Sproles 2 yards behind the LOS on a 4th and 2 deep in the red zone. That was one of the best regular season games ive ever seen.

One of these things is not like the other.

In other news. If Detroit loses one of the next three games the away game vs GB could be for 1st place or no playoffs at all.

I fully expect Detroit not to make the playoffs at 10-5



do not want.

There's a pretty decent chance that if Detroit loses DET@GB they get rewarded with playing at Green Bay again a week later.

That's what happened to the Eagles in...2009? 10? They played the Cowboys, lost, then had to play the Cowboys again the next week, and lost again as Romo got his one and only playoff win

Also the Bengals in 2009. They lost to the Jets when they clearly weren't trying in week 17. If the Bengals had won they would have played vs the Texans. I actually told my roommate (who was a Texans fan) "Man, the Bengals owe the Texans a berth, that was shameful."



I regretted that.

It happened to the Packers twice just recently. In 2009 the Pack beat the Cardinals 33-7 in Arizona then lost to them there a week later because Rodgers dropped a ball while being dragged down by his facemask. No, I'm not bitter... why do you ask :smith:

In 2012, the Vikings beat the Packers in week 17, 37-34. Their reward was a wild card date in Green Bay, where Rodgers won his first ever home playoff game, 24-10.

Cowboys-Eagles and Bengals-Jets may be the only instances of this scenario I've seen where the same team won both games, though. At least, I can't remember any others right off the top of my head.

I remember the joke of the 2009 WC round being "didn't we just see this game last week?"

It was a very strange situation - 3 of the 4 games were rematches of the previous week.

That's my trigger, Ross.
Norv Turner is my trigger.

I'm hopeful about the SD/BAL game this weekend.
Hopefully our 4th center will hold up for the rest of the year.

It was McNabb's last game as an Eagle. :smith:

What makes it even worse is had the Eagles beaten the Cowboys in week 17 they would've gotten a bye. Instead they got to lose to Dallas. Twice.

Just hearing the words "Norv Turner" gives me traumatizing PTSD-esque flashbacks of Darren Sproles -2 yard power plays up the middle, constant 7 step drop plays called while having a sieve for an offensive line, and 4th and 29. Can't wait for them to show 4th and 29 over and over again this Sunday during the game since that happened the last time we played the Ravens HOORAY

I wish the 49ers won the Super Bowl so the SF/SEA feud could reach levels of annoying never before seen.

Ray Rice up the middle robbed us of it.

I am grateful I was driving and listening to that on the radio instead of actually seeing it live. I might have broken something

Rahim Moore robbed you of that more than that play. But there was a good possibility the Broncos won that game. 49ers were a far superior team and should have won anyway, but didn't.

To be honest, I felt Baltimore was the best team in football the year before.

It felt like New England was pretty much coasting in on Home Field advantage and having a HOF QB. The rest of their team was pretty poo poo.

(Also Green Bay was better then New York, but Eli went on one of his bullshit runs).

Should have been you guys and New York/Green Bay the year before, and then Denver V. SF the year after.
