DirtybyrdGA 1,301 Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Well the GM doesn't have to "play out the season". Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Falconsfan567 35,212 Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 The on screen graphic I just saw on the Packers @ Raiders game didn't have the Falcons eliminated. Why? I don't know. The Seahawks clinching should have eliminated the Falcons from my understanding since the Vikings have the tiebreaker over the Falcons. The best the Falcons can hope for is a 9-7 tie with the Vikings where the Vikings hold the tiebreaker over the Falcons. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pzummo 6,734 Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 I don't understand the logic here. The GM assembled the players that went 5-0. Those same players tanked after that, even complaining about not taking enough downfield shots. How is that on the GM? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

falcon124 575 Posted December 21, 2015 Author Share Posted December 21, 2015 Seahawks had to lose last 3 and we had to win them. And... they won, so we're done. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Falconsfan567 35,212 Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Even the graphic on the Broncos @ Steelers game I just saw has the Falcons still listed as "in the hunt". Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The other would be in a 3 way tie with us and the Vikings. Maybe? I'm not 100% sure because I haven't looked at their schedules. But that would probably be why, if it's not a mistake.

PK Manley 5,435 Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Scott Carasik @CarasikS 56s56 seconds agoAtlanta wins the 5 seed because of Strength of Victory tiebreaker if they, SEA and MIN all have 9-7 records.Yeah, I was just looking at it and that's what I see too:Falcons must win outVikings must lose outSeahawks must lost outAll 3 would be 9-7, so it's a 3 way tie and head-to-head doesn't apply. The next tie-breaker is conference record. If the above happened, all 3 would be tied at a 6-6 conference record.Next tie breaker is "strength of victory".ESPN has this stat in their playoff rankings. Right now it is...Vikings - .402Falcons - .392Seahawks - .369If all of the above happened and we kept that advantage in strength of victory, the Falcons and Vikings would be the wild cards.

FalconFanSince1970 24,751 Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 We were eliminated two months ago.Time to shake up the apple cart. Get ready to go to the Pantheon. I saw it up close last night and it's moving way faster than the quality of the product we have.I'll volunteer for two action items at no cost. Free of charge:1. Drive Dimi out to the State Line (Shanny can ride too)2. Put together a message board personnel department that will blow the last eight years away and get us ready for the Pantheon.
