A scenario where we could still make the playoffs.

For us to make the playoffs, we have to win out and get really lucky. Our franchise is a lot of things, but lucky isn't one of them. I am going with no.

We need the following to happen somehow...

1) Rams - Lose any 1 game - @ BUF, MIN, @TB, @SEA

2) Vikings - Lose any 1 game - CHI, @STL, @HOU, GB

3) Bucs - Lose to Saints ONLY - PHI, @NO, STL, ATL

4) Cowboys - Lose to Saints and NY Giants win NFC East or Lose to Saints + one other game - @ CIN, PIT, @NO, @WAS

5) Redskins - ANY TWO losses - BAL, @CLE, @PHI, DAL

6A) Seahawks - 3 losses or 2 NFC losses - ARI, @BUF, SF, STL

OR

6B) Bears - Lose 3 games - @MIN, GB, @ARI, @DET

Settled today with 52 emphatic NOs...

180 minutes of football left to watch until 2013 preseason...
