Would this scenario change your mindset going into the game?

Looking at wildcard, which is extremely unlikely but crazier things have happened, there are 8 teams ahead of us: Giants, Redskins, Eagles, Cardinals, Vikings, Packers, Buccaneers, Aints. In the division of course the Falcons, Aints and Bucs are all ahead of us. Pretend this scenario happens before the Sunday night game:

Vikings lost to Cowboys.

Lions beat Saints.

Texans beat Packers.

Chiefs beat Falcons.

Bengals beat Eagles.

Chargers beat Buccaneers.

Steelers beat Giants.

Cardinals beat Redskins.

 

Every single one of these outcomes would be good for us and honestly none of the individual outcomes turning out this way is unlikely. We'd gain on every single other wildcard opponent with a win tonight except for the Cardinals, but they're only half a game ahead of us and have a tough schedule including likely losses at Seattle, at Dolphins and possibly at Rams. And of course we'd gain on every divisional opponent including the Falcons which although a lot would still have to go our way the rest of the season would help those odds.

 

My mindset going into Seattle as of now is that we're most likely going to lose with the injuries and poor play of our team and I won't be upset at all with a close loss at this point. I want to win them all still and go for 9-7 but it's looking pretty unlikely for tomorrow night and I recognize and that forms my current mindset. I bet others have a similar mindset. But if this scenario happened before the game, I'd be going into the game all in for a win, similar to our 2014 playoff game in Seattle. Not that any of our mindsets really matter but I'm curious whether this would change others mindsets as well.

In all likelihood, this scenario doesn't play out, we don't win and none of this matters. But, to me at least, it's still interesting to look at.

My mindset is keep fighting till the end.

Nothing changes that.

As is mine but would you be more upset with a loss tomorrow night if that scenario happens than if all those teams won?

We aren't going to the playoffs. Make peace with it now

The draft isn't until the end of April.  Nothing wrong with waiting to see what happens tomorrow night before proceeding down that LONG road.

Just setting yourself up for disappointment. Watch the games, root for your team, but do so with the knowledge that the only thing we're playing for is pride.

      If "fans" would have came out today we would have made up those 3-points in home field advantage.

      Fair enough. I never once said not supporting Tepper makes you a bad fan by the way. I can't stand the guy myself. You on the other hand don't like anything about the team. You can't stand the owner or the coach because his religion doesn't fall in line with how you feel it should so I'm curious why you are even a fan at this point? Hell, you like nothing about the team, why even be a fan these days?  We can go backs and forth about how many games we have been to and measure dicks if you want or but it doesn't matter. I've been to my fair share over the years. Some as a fan and some work related but I bet you have been to more due to my weekends being filled with some work I do at the collegiate level so I probably only average maybe 2-3 games per year tops. You have me beat there im sure. You are probably very correct on us not being the same in anything at all I am quite sure of that. If I'm a "mark" (as you put it) for not liking Tepper and not caring about Canales religion or his political beliefs or letting it have weight on whether or not I like the team then call me a "mark" but you're still a whiny bitch either way.  When you hate everything about leadership from their personalities to their religious beliefs all the way to who they vote for at that point why even be a fan? I can side with you judging by your beliefs that you have made apparent, if you owned and coached the team, I sure as hell would find a new one to support but as you said we are different. Enjoy Norway, it is a beautiful country. Visited last year myself and absolutely loved it.

      This is exactly what we needed to see from Beyce

      The playing well part, depends on what happens going forward. It could have been a tease that will dig our hole deeper.  In the small picture of one game, probably his best game. Green Bay wasn't as great as people think it was. More like one good quarter. Followed by two games of exactly nothing.

      Oh, it was handled horrifically.  Ego got in the way of a plan.  I'm just saying, that he actually probably stumbled into the better outcome/plan.
