xFalconLord Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 So right now..Tampa (9-5) -- vs.SD, vs.OAKAtlanta (9-5) -- @MINN, vs.STLDallas (9-6) -- @PHILLYPhilly (8-5-1) -- @WASH, vs.DALTiebreakersTampa (6-4) common games, (8-4 conference record)Atlanta (7-4) common games, (6-4 conference record)Dallas (7-4) conference recordPhilly (6-4) conference recordBasically we are trying to beat out Tampa. The only way we can get in without beating out Tampa is if Philly beats Dallas and Washington beats Philly. If those 2 games happen correctly, Atlanta can make the playoffs no matter what if they win 1 game out of their last 2. If Philly beats Washington or Dallas beats Philly then we must beat out Tampa OR win out..To beat out Tampa without winning out we must beat MINN and have TB lose to SD. That clinches the common games tiebreaker over Tampa bay and puts us in.Can anyone else think of possible scenarios? I know theres one involving SOV or SOS..

mcsupersport Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 I would much prefer us to just win out, with tampa losing once to SD, and the Panties losing out as well.But as long as we win out I really don't care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nativefalcon Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 i thought they made it alreadythey haven't clinched because of us and tampa. If Carolina blew their last 2 games and we won ours and tampa bay won theirs we would have 3 11-5 teams. that would make the NFL real happy trying to figure that one out. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcsupersport Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 If Carolina loses to NYG, and lose next week, will we win the division if we win our last 2?TB has to lose one, but if they do and Carolina loses 2 and we win both then yeah, we take division.

stoneweiser Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 So is it possible that we can still win the division and get a a 1rst round by?? with a tapon loss and the panties losing out.I know we cant get home field through out the playoffs due to the panthers and giants facing off.

mcsupersport Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 That's not right, is it? We can't clinch tomorrowActually according to Yahoo generator if TB loses and we win, then we are in no matter what.Go SD, Go Falcons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If CAR loses out (could happen with them @NYG and @NO) and TB loses one (with us of course winning out), we'd win the division and have the #2 seed. Not too likely, but stranger things have happened.

Lots of ifs for this to happen but it is fun the think about. Now we just need to take care of our business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
