How was the officiating in the Panthers game.

I had written about this possibility before the Falcons game but it is no longer possible.

At that time there was the possibility of the Eagles finishing 12-4 with 2 more NFC losses. They could still end 12-4 but they only have 1 more NFC game.

As a result, the 4 way tie that would have went to the Saints on strength of victory is gone.

Eagles would be #1 on NFC record. Then we fall into a tie with Rams and Vikings and unfortunately have lost to both.

Bye bye BYE...

I don't care about tie breakers. We just need to take care of business and look at each games as the Superbowl. I do hope that we end up playing the Eagles in the NFC SHIP. I really don't think Foles had anything more than a fluke game yesterday and come on they were playing the freaking Giants, The Giants!

Yes take care of business and not worry what others do.

This is way better than finishing 7-9 again and again.

We are on the right path finally and lets keep drafting the way we are doing!!!

I can't believe I am doing this but here goes there is only one scenario left for us to get knocked out of the playoffs:

Detroit they win 2 and if we lose 2 we win on head to head
Seattle they will either lose to Dallas or win 2 if we lose 2 would lose on Conference Record
Dallas they will either lose to Seattle or win 2 if we lose 2 would lose on Conference Record

So If you guys want scenarios there it is. We can only be beat by Seattle or Dallas and the other is out with a loss to one another even if we lose both remaining games. No head to head so conference record would apply and we would lose to either of them. This means only one team can beat us.

That's what I've been saying all along. We've controlled our own destiny and if we would've beat the Falcons we would be in already and they would be out. WE JUST NEED TO WIN AND THE REST WILL TAKE CARE OF ITSELF!

Dallas vs Seattle week 16

Dallas vs Philly Week 17

Seattle vs Arizona Week 17

There's a good chance Seattle win both of those games

If we lose to the Falcons and panthers beat the bucs, we absolutely have to beat the bucs just to get the number 6 playoff spot

I love still being in contention at this time of the season, but we better come out swinging and not making silly mistakes or we'll blow it completely.
