We play Dallas, so a Saints win and we pass them.

The Redskins still have Baltimore, and two division rivals. Two losses and we pass them. And the Skins are only one game behind the Giants so its possible we'd be competing with the Giants for #6, and we still play them.

The Giants still have @ Atlanta, @ Baltimore and New Orleans. Two Giant losses and we pass them.

Seattle still has @ Buffalo and THREE games against their own division, so two losses and we pass them.

Minnesota still has Green Bay, AT Houston, Chicago and @ St Louis, so two losses and we pass them.

So hell yes I think we are definitely still in it and don't wanna hear any crap about about us being out of it until we are mathematically eliminated.

I understand all that. If u woulda kept reading I did say it was a "what if" thread. But that is a TON of things that HAVE to go out way. And not only that we HAVE to win out pretty much. We may can "afford" to lose one more. But in the NFL that's a lot of stuff that has to go our way. Not saying it's not possible. I just don't see that many "what ifs" going in our favor.

You are looking at it wrong buddy. Things don't go right for every team every season... In a lot of games....

Our scenario involves things not going right for other teams and by that nature are good for us.

The Saints winning out is the only thing we can control, and the only thing that has to go our way. Those teams losing is not based on our good luck, but on their bad luck, and bad luck happens for teams every week.

I would say there is a better chance of those teams losing than us willing out if your leaving it to luck.
