We also have the tie breaker on both the 40Whiners and Cardinals. So, can someone explain to me why we haven't clinched a spot yet? My brain hurts. |

And keep in mind, Carolina loses the tie breaker to the Cards, so if Carolina loses two, the Cards could bump them from the wildcard. |

Seems like all the teams in the hunt play each other NO- 10-4 (plays CAR and TB) CAR 10-4 (plays NO and ATL) SF 10-4 (plays ATL and AZ) AZ 9-5 (plays SF and SEA) NO has tie breakers over AZ and SF, so one win and one of them is out. CAR can be bumped out at 10-6 if AZ finishes 10-6 and SF at 11-5. We get bumped only by losing our last two, and AZ wins their last two. |

Re: Missing the playoffs is becoming a huge possibility now
This site explains it all pretty well. The sky would have to fall for us to miss the playoffs

The OP calls a 4% possibility 'huge'. Being factually inaccurate is not exactly the same as saying C.Brown has to go. |
