Atlanta still sucks.

Head to head when 2 teams, but with 3 way tie my understanding is conference record. It really isnt that important because if we win out I guarantee we will be the 1...but we have to win out

Helped the Saints in the playoff seeding and moved themselves out of a top 10 draft pick. Great win for the stupid dirty birds.

Keep in mind div winners come before everything. That’s why a sorry NFC East team will be locked in the 4 seed.
1. Div winners
2. Head to Head
3. Conference win%
and so forth all the way down to a coin flip.

If SEA and SF split head to head wins. Then win % within their div comes next.
We can’t afford for SF to win their div because we lost to them.
Our biggest challenge for the #1 seed is GB because we haven’t played them and they have a better conference win%.

SF vs SEA week #17 is gonna be huge

As far as I can tell... If we win out we’re pretty much guaranteed the 1 or 2 seed. We need the Vikings to beat the Packers next week for sure.

We need to win tmr. Our defense looked like the worst in the league last week. I wouldn’t trust that effort against anyone.

And on the flip side we made their #1 ranked defense look like the second worse defense in the league. I bet their defensive meeting was pretty hairy Monday.
I would love to have been a fly on the wall.
Plus they have to feel like pretty big pieces of **** after today’s loss.
This is the part of the season when Garoppolo and that young defenses inexperience starts to show.

They backed in, because they suck. It'll be a big mind for them. Because they suck.

5. 49ers
6. Vikings

I believe we will be above the Seahawks and there fore number 1 seed. If the Seahawks manage to win their division and we win out, we will be number 1 seed period.
