We have two games on Saturday! Also, Green Bay could still sneak into a wild card spot if several very real possibilities become reality.

Wish this awesome Chargers Chiefs game was a SNF/MNF game instead of on Thursday. Going to be sloppy and full of poo poo since the Chiefs just played a physical overtime game and the Chargers have to travel, although the latter rules

I want the crazy scenario where the Browns make the playoffs. Also lol'ing that the Eagles are in okay-ish shape for a wild card if they beat the Rams (they will not beat the Rams).

Lynn told Wyche the Chargers aren't optimistic RBs Gordon and Ekeler will be ready for Thursday. Rookies Justin Jackson and Detrez Newsome likely to be the top 2

The NFC is such garbage that the Lions can not only still make the playoffs, but the scenarios aren't that improbable. Lions win out (@BUF, MIN, @GB) Giants lose one (TEN, @IND, DAL) Bucs lose one (@BAL, @DAL, ATL) DC loses two (@JAX, @TEN, PHI) Eagles lose two (@LA, HOU, @WAS) Panthers lose one* (NO, ATL, @NO) Vikings lose two (MIA, @DET, CHI) *Lions have the head to head over the Panthers, though if it turns into a 3 way tie then the Lions probably lose out Really the least likely outcome is the Lions actually winning multiple games, our offense is garbage and getting worse each week.

The Eagles making the playoffs scenario is also pretty feasible. Eagles need 1 more win than CAR + MIN down the stretch. The schedules are: PHI (@LAR, HOU, @WAS) CAR (NO, ATL, @NO) MIN (MIA, @DET, CHI) It's not very easy, but I can absolutely see it happening because Carolina's in a tailspin and Minnesota's offense looks horrible. Then again so does the Eagles offense. The NFC 6th seed is going to be a really crappy team this year between the Panthers/Vikings/Eagles/Skins/Lions/Giants/Buccs

What are the historical odds of a team not even making it to the playoffs the year after playing in a conference championship game? There is a very real chance that three of the four teams that did so last year will miss the playoffs this year, and that seems...rough.

And I don't blame us.

The 7-9 chaos scenario is still in play for the NFC where Philadelphia, Washington, Atlanta, Tampa, and Carolina all finish 7-9 and Detroit, Minnesota, and Green Bay all finish 6-8-2. The ESPN playoff machine implies tiebreakers in that case are Atlanta > Tampa > Minnesota if Tampa's loss is to Baltimore, otherwise Atlanta > Minnesota > Tampa. Still trying to find another "we need more points" scenario, but I'm not sure it's possible with the Strength of Schedule/Strength of Victory tiebreakers.

The Vikings weren't actually that good last year either and needed a miracle play to get to the nfccg, where they were exposed as frauds.

My childhood team continues to sign QBs that make me not give a gently caress. A Cousins team is never winning anything.

We're in a situation where only 1 of the teams in the 2 championship games last year is going to make the playoffs. Of course its the Pats.

But yeah, at least one per year, which seems kinda crazy.
