Biggest thing tonight is the Packers take 1st place if the Rams beat the Cardinals. If the Cardinals win, the NFC West race becomes exceptionally boring. NFC: 10-2 Cardinals 10-3 Packers 10-3 Buccaneers 9-4 Cowboys ------------- 8-4 Rams 7-6 49ers 6-7 Football Team --------------- 8. 6-7 Vikings 9. 6-7 Eagles 10. 6-7 Falcons 11. 6-7 Saints 12. 5-8 Panthers 13. 5-8 Seahawks 14. 4-9 Giants 15. 4-9 Bears AFC: 9-4 Patriots 9-4 Titans 9-4 Chiefs 8-4 Ravens ----------- 8-5 Chargers 7-6 Colts 7-6 Bills ---------- 8. 7-6 Browns 9. 7-6 Bengals 10. 7-6 Broncos 11. 6-6-1 Steelers 12. 6-7 Raiders 13. 6-7 Dolphins Mercifully dead: Lions, Jaguars, Texans, Jets

Yeah, 3's easy, but the Eagles schedule is: Football Team, Giants, Football Team, Cowboys. So I'm pretty sure all 4 can't get in from cannibalizing each other. E: I'm wrong, look at this beauty

Look at this beautiful scenario In this scenario it is entirely possible, though however unlikely, that 7 of the 8 teams in the divisional round are from just 2 divisions and 1 conference could be entirely from one division. Edit: This is even better potentially, though lacking in NFCE comedy, potentially just two divisions in the divisional. wilderthanmild fucked around with this message at 00:47 on Dec 14, 2021 |

Week 15 playoff implications: TNF - Chiefs @ Chargers - Why is a game this loving cool on TNF? Chargers take control of the division with a win, as they have a victory over the Chiefs already. Chiefs have terrible tiebreakers for everything, but hey you know what beats tiebreakers? wins. Saturday Raiders @ Browns - Raiders have lost 5 of 6 and the Browns have also looked very unimpressive the past month. Raiders... probably aren't making the playoffs even if they win, Browns are the first team out right now and have the Packers next week, so can't afford to drop this. Patriots @ Colts - Colts were swept by the Titans, and are down 2, so they're fighting for a WC. Got the Cardinals next weekwhile the Patriots are in a 3 way tie for 1st, so huge game for both teams. Sunday Titans @ Steelers - Steelers desperately need this, Titans... are probably too banged up probably to get the #1 seed, but want to win 2 to sew up the division. Packers @ Ravens - Speaking of too banged up. Theoretically a huge game... probably not considering the state of these two teams. Football Team @ Eagles - Quick, one of these is currently a playoff team, guess which? They're both bad, bad can win the 7th seed in the NFC. Have fun! --------- Bengals @ Broncos - 9th and 10th seeds in the AFC. Either needs to go on a 3-1 run at least to realistically get into the playoffs. Ps, they both play the Chiefs Falcons @ 49ers - Falcons are tied for that 7th seed.... yeah. 49ers are a game up in the 6th. Yes this game has playoff implications... somehow. And 5 games that matter to one team: Panthers @ Bills Cowboys @ Giants Cardinals @ Lions Jets @ Dolphins Seahawks @ Rams gently caress off - Texans @ Jaguars SNF: Saints @ Buccaneers - Saints are ALSO tied for the last wild card. Buccaneers hoping for the Bye still. MNF: Vikings @ Bears - Bears are ALSO tied for the last wild card spot. Bears are just waiting around for the execution.

I’ve done it. I’ve stared into the abyss and achieved madness. There exists a path in which this is possible without any ties or other nonsense like the Lions 1 in a trillion shot required  The Bucs and Cowboys and Patriots and Ravens all miss the playoffs. The Colts are the #1 seed in the AFC. Miami is back in the postseason. Is it likely? No. Is it possible? Anything is possible if you believe.

North: Bengals Ravens -.5 Steelers -1 Browns oh my god. They all play each other twice, they all have a nightmarishly hard out of divisional game. This is the Battle of the Somme my friends South Titans -1 Colts Titans have the tiebreaker, so Colts need to win 2 more games then the Titans out of 3. Colts are HUGE Dolphins fans now. West Chiefs -2 Chargers -3 Raiders -3 Broncos Yeah, Chiefs got this ================================== Tiebreakers for WC consideration: (Chiefs take the West, + 3 other divisonal winners, then the top 3 of:) Patriots: + Chargers, Browns, Titans. - Colts Titans: + Bills, Chiefs, - Patriots, Steelers -1 Bengals: + Raiders, Steelers, Broncos, - Chargers -1 Colts: + Dolphins, Bills, Patriots, - Ravens -1 Chargers: + Browns, Steelers, Bengals, - Ravens, Patriots -1 Bills: + Chiefs, Dolphins, - Steelers, Titans, Colts -1 Ravens: + Chiefs, Broncos, Colts, Chargers, - Raiders, Dolphins -1.5 Steelers: + Bills, Broncos, Titans, - Raiders, Chargers, Bengals -2 Raiders: + Ravens, Steelers, Dolphins, Browns, - Bengals, Chiefs -2 Dolphins: + Ravens, - Bills, Raiders, Colts -2 Browns: + Broncos, - Chiefs, Chargers, Raiders, Patriots -2 Broncos: + NOBODY, - Ravens, Steelers, Browns, Bengals Not that anyone thought otherwise, but the Broncos are hosed. Browns and Dolphins have awful tiebreakers. Ravens have a big problem if their slide continues.

On paper the Philly or Niners at home scenario seems preferable, but cards at home  WEEK 18 SCENARIOS The Cardinals have clinched a playoff spot and will be playing Wild Card weekend. The Cards will HOST that Wild Card game as division champs if they win at home on Sunday vs SEA and the Rams lose at home vs SF. Arizona would be the #3 seed and host SF (if TB wins at home vs CAR on Sunday) or the #2 seed and host PHI (if CAR wins that game). All other week 18 outcomes result in the Cardinals playing as a ROAD wild card team. -The game will be in Los Angeles if the Seahawks, Niners, Cowboys and Bucs win in week 18. -It will be in Tampa if the first three teams win but the Bucs lose. Every other week 18 scenario has Arizona returning to Dallas for the Wild Card round.

The NFC WC round feel weird, because whomever ends up in 4th is going to have a hell of a fight, while... the Buccaneers run D probably gets the Eagles and the other team gets a dead Saints / middling 49ers team, and I mean, uhm I guess an upset could happen but those are going to both be 7+ spread games. AFC man... every single divisional winner could lose their first game,

https://twitter.com/AdamHBeasley/status/1478032317486612482 I think the minimum number of snaps in a game is 6: Snap and hold the ball to the end of the 1st quarter, kneel Snap and hold to the 2:00 Snap and hold to the half Repeat. If this happened it would be the end of regular season ties, the rules would have to change

Wait a second.... if the entirety of both teams just leave the field while the ball is live, then the play doesn't end. Someone just has to go back on after the quarter ends to do an illegal touching. They don't even have to stand out there. Just snap the ball, put it down and have everyone walk off

My money is if somebody actually tried to intentionally tie a game they'd receive a notice from the league that it would be treated as a forfeit before the 13 minute mark in the first quarter. It's a fun thought though. Edit: imagine if it works out so that it actually is a tie legitimately after all this talk. The conspiracy theories would be amazing.

Blowjob Overtime posted:If both teams were counted as a forfeit, wouldn't the outcome effectively be the same as a tie and they would both go in anyway? NFL probably says, okay, in that case we call it a palpably unfair act and commish settles it as a 2-0 game decided by a coinflip, which effectively knocks either out.

I'm pretty sure if both teams were given an L it would dramatically negatively affect their standings. I'm in the camp where I would argue if it's the regular season in the game ends in regulation with a tie score both teams should just get an L.

If (as things stand at halftime now) the Jags win and Steelers lose or tie the Raiders get in without a fight, and the SNF game won't matter much. So here's to no more scoring in these games. e: I suppose it would matter to Los Angeles (and the current/former home of the Colts), but the Raiders wouldn't have to show up.

apparently a "both get in" non-aggression pact happened before in soccer, resulting in a change in how scheduling is done. Usually the NFL is pretty good about flexing things around-- they just didn't count on the Jags. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disgrace_of_Gij%C3%B3n quote:The "Disgrace of Gijón" is the name given to a 1982 FIFA World Cup football match played between West Germany and Austria at the El Molinón stadium in Gijón, Spain, on 25 June 1982. The match was the last game of the first-round Group 2, with Algeria and Chile having played the day before. With the outcome of that match already decided and known, a win by precisely one or two goals for West Germany at the expense of Austria would result in both West Germany and Austria qualifying instead of Algeria, which had defeated West Germany in the first game. The Germans scored the only goal within the first 10 minutes of the match, which progressively deteriorated towards near standstill in the second half.
