Current playoff picture:
5th - Seahawks (8-6, just lost to the 49ers)
6th - Vikings (7-6-1, just beat Dolphins)
7th - Eagles (7-7, just beat the Rams)
8th - Redskins (7-7, just beat the Jaguars)
9th - Panthers (6-7, play tonight)

Everyone else is eliminated.

Seahawks play the Chiefs (11-3) and Cardinals (3-11) in the next two weeks.
Vikings play the Lions (5-9) and Bears (10-4) their last two weeks.
Eagles play the Texans (10-4) and Redskins (7-7) in their last two weeks.
Redskins play the Titans (8-6) and Eagles (7-7) in their last two weeks. 
Panthers play the Saints (11-2), Falcons (5-9), and Saints (11-2) in our last three weeks. 

The only team in a good position are the Seahawks, who just have to win a game to get in. They could also tie a game and probably get in, and could lose out and still get in depends on how everyone else does. They control their own fate.

Out of the rest, the Vikings are in the best shape and control their own fate. However, if they lose out they are basically done. Why? the Redskins or Eagles play each other, and unless they tie that means one of them is guaranteed a win, which would put them at 8 wins. With the Seahawks at 8 wins as well, that means 7-8-1 won't get them in - but 7-7-2 might however as that equals an 8-8 record.

The Eagles and Redskins both play tough teams this week, meaning they might both be 7-8 going into the final week with a climatic "win and in" game against each other.

Meanwhile our fate pretty much rests on tonight. If we win out, we have to hope for either the Seahawks to lose out or for the Vikings to lose once. We could get in at 8-8 in theory but it's not likely at all, our season basically rests on tonight.

Seahawks will be 9-7 and pretty much guaranteed the 5 seed since they hold most tiebreakers I think. Vikings definitely lose to Bears if you ask me but likely beat Lions, which means we’d have to win out to get in over them.

 

I suppose if the Vikings do lose out we could get in at 8-8 easily with Skins losing out and Eagles losing to Texans, which are both the most likely scenarios for them in my opinion, but that hinges on the unlikely scenario of Vikes losing out.

So if we lose tonight

We are 100% out.

Because even if Seattle loses out , theyd have the head to head

The Eagles and Redskins face each other so 1 of them wont lose out.  And both are a game ahead of us

Not 100% because the Vikings could lose out (7-8-1) or lose and tie (7-7-2) and that would allow an 8-8 team to get in.

The NFC is straight trash this year outside of the top three. All we had to do was not suck horribly this year and we would've been guaranteed a playoff spot. Started out 6-2 and then Ron said, "Hold my beer..."

The same goes for the AFC, and hell the best team is considered a wild card team. Pretty fuging bad.

      I remember the Huddle consensus over the course of last season and the previous one. Lots of Bryce is a bust, we should've drafted a 4th slot WR, should've kept Wilks, should've kept an armless Cam, etc etc. So... yea... already thought about that. I wouldn't trust the Huddle to detail my car, let alone run a multi-billion dollar professional sports team. 😛

      bold prediction, I think Mike Green will be the best pass rusher in this class, and thats even with abdul carter.  He reminds me of demarcus ware, not just in size and prowess, but even coming from a Sunbelt school (Ware from Troy, Green from Marshall).  I think he is passionate about the sport where I think Carter as the physical freak might not have the heart.  Thats the guy Im sold on and am gonna hammer the table for, I know he's not projected 8, but he is projected like 12-13, so if a slide back can happen and we still get the guy I want, I'm 100% on board. All that said, it takes 2 to tango, I think the Cowboys are the tango-er.  IMO theres a VERY good shot that Jeanty is available at 8.  Why does that matter?  Not only do the cowboys NEED a runningback (dak sucks without a run game), but MORE importantly, gee where did Jeanty play in high school.....Frisco TX, literally Dallas Metro.  Soo, RB is a position of need and the best RB and most blue chip draft selection that  could improve the offense immensly played IN dallas metro AND will be in range for them to move up and pick?  Do ya think Jerry Jones is gonna just say no to the Jersey Sales?  Jerry might have sexually assaulted a woman and attempted to prevent black people from going to school, but he's no idiot (he is).  IMO, we get a good enough package, prlly their first and third,  maybe a conditional later and we move to 12.  We get Green, they get Jeanty, everbuddy happy.
