If we lose next week and SF and AZ win, ATL is a must win

[MadHatter]

We are in no matter what. If we beat the Saints next week we win the Div and the Saints go on the road.

Not true.

If we beat the the saints and lose to the Falcons and the saints win their last game....we are tied and back to tie breakers.

[carolina-chuck]

Arizona won't beat Seattle. After that they have to worry about SF.

[chknwing]

why start a debbie downer thread anyways.  fug this thread.  needs to be locked.

If we somehow miss the playoffs......

we come back next year with our franchise WR, hammer everyone and go 16-0. This franchise is on the come up.

AZ will play a half Hawks team because they clinched 1st round bye and  number 1 seed.  AZ and san Fran play each other though...we will only need to win one more....we have the tie breaker over San Fran.....We will win the division anyway....get a bye and kill it and goto the superbowl with a home NFC championship game.....love these guys.....KEEP POUNDING!!!!!

[EightyNine]

Are we the sixth seed right now?

[Snake]

Not true.

If we beat the the saints and lose to the Falcons and the saints win their last game....we are tied and back to tie breakers.

 

Ya and the chances of that are slim to none. Our biggest problem is we have to beat the Saints.

[Sean Payton's Vicodin]

Real question would be.....what will Seattle have to play for? AZ could win.....if Seattle starts thinking about postseason health vs pointless regular season game

 

I don't think Seattle clinched the one seed. They haven't even clinched the division yet. They will play next week.

[Chaos]

On the other hand, if we win out, San Fran wins out, and Seattle loses out......we get the #1 seed.

 

I don't see how - if we win out and Seattle loses out, we are both 12-4.  They've got the head to head over us, so I believe we would be the #2 seed in this scenario.

[FugginPoo]

How would the Tie Breaker play out now that the Saints have another NFC loss?  Assuming we beat Saints then lose to Falcons

[lola]

Are we the sixth seed right now?

I think we are 5th right now

[TheGreatestOfAllTimeCam]

Still no reason to believe we will beat New Orleans. Need to bring our nutsack IMHO bc we had none against them last week on the field or coaching sidelines.

[mav1234]

think the OP is wrong... if we beat ATL we are in regardless of what anyone else does.

 

edit:

 

if SF wins next week they go to 11-4

Arz goes to 10-5

 

If we beat ATL the next week we finish at 11-5.

 

SF loses to a now 11-5 Arz team, goes to 11-5, loses the tiebreaker with us and Arz and is out of the playoffs

 

no other WC potential team can get to 11 wins in the NFC.

 

if we beat either NO or ATL we are in the playoffs regardless of what the rest of the league does.

I just dont see Seattle resting starters this soon, maybe last game and at home where they have been dominate all year? Not gonna do that in front of that crowd.
