NO/CAR playoff scenarios

[Happy Panther]

Not what he said. He said if we were to lose another game the jets would be the team to lose to since it wouldnt hurt our conference record

 

I think I screwed that up a little

 

Using the playoff generator

 

If we split with the Saints there are 6 scenarios

1) Both Win out - Saints

2) Both Lose out - Saints

3) Both Win Week 15 and lose week 17 - Saints

4) Both Win Week 17 and Lose Week 15 - Saints

5) We win 15 and lose 17, they lose 15 and win 17 - Saints

6) We lose 15 and win 17, they win 15 and lose 17 - Carolina

 

So we need to sweep the Saints or have scenario 6 above

[CatZilla]

lets say we split with the Saints and we both lose to the Jets/Rams and win out. of course the SoV will change as the season plays out but this is what we are looking at right now

So if we split with NO and lose one more game... are we in the playoffs?

i'm 99.9% certain that gets us a wildcard berth. that would make us 11-5 assuming we win out of course. If both Arizona/Niners/Eagles/Cowboys winout they still have to play each other come week 17. Eagles @ Dallas and Niners @ Arizona. If Arizona beats the Niners in week 17 they still lose the Tiebreaker to the Niners. Works out for us because we own tiebreaker vs them so we would be the 5th seed. Same scenario with the Eagle and Dallas both are 7-5 highest both can get is 11-5 and 10-6. So magic number is 11-5

No worries after we sweep the Saints, which I honestly believe we can do.

[Leeroy Jenkins PhD]

After we sweep the saints and beat the jets, do we rest the starters against Atlanta?

[intangiblejohnny]

We have 8 wins in a row against many teams that were playing their best at the time. Of our 3 losses only one was by more than one touchdown.

Cam seems to play great under pressure and Tolbert and Ginn are heating up at the right time.

I don't have to tell anyone about our front 7.

Unless Mike Wallace impossibly shows up for NO this Sunday I trust our dbs.

I also think the Saints should be terrified about the improvement of Teddy Ginn Jr.

I say we start them and rest key players that need the rest. Then at the half pull all of our starters. In all seriousness i think our back ups can beat the Falcons.

Hell no, man. See Colts resting Peyton on their near perfect season and then losing their following playoff game.

I do see where you are coming from since it's been a LONG time since our bye week.

Screw the scenarios... take one game at a time and dominate every snap, down and qtr...
