Playoff Race

[Rafael122]

Only bringing this up b/c the NFC isn't in very good shape at the moment. Right now Washington is 2 games back for the last wild card spot. The win at Dallas made things interesting in the sense that had they lost, I would think any chance at a playoff berth would be small. They won, and they have a cupcake schedule with games at Minnesota, BYE, then a game against Tampa. They have a realistic shot at going 5-5 within the next couple of weeks before facing San Francisco and Indianapolis.

Here are the current standings:

6. Green Bay (5-3) - BYE
7. San Francisco (4-3) - @ St. Louis
8. Seattle (4-3) - @ Oakland
9. Giants (3-4) - @ Indianapolis
10. Carolina (3-5-1) - lost to New Orleans
11. Chicago (3-5) - BYE
12. Minnesota (3-5) - vs. Washington
13. Washington (3-5) @ Minnesota

So for Week 9, Washington has to win, first and foremost. Giants need to lose at Indianapolis, San Francisco and Seattle will both probably win their games. A Washington win moves them up 9th with the bye week coming up, a game behind Green Bay.

It's a lot to overcome and this thread is probably premature but I'm just putting it out there. I'll update it weekly.

I think this thread is a great idea (unless, of course, they lose to Minny and then you'll be to blame for jinxing them. LOL)

Seriously, though, having a one-stop-shop for potential playoff scenarios is a good think to have. Thanks for posting it!

You are worse than Ji. Yeah, really.

Looks like you were right, Pine.

Well, I guess I'll see everyone next year! Now, about those Wizards...

Actually, before I give up, Raf do you have any updates to this list that leave a glimmer of hope?

6. Seattle (5-3) - vs. NY Giants
7. Green Bay (5-3) - vs. Green Bay
8. San Francisco (4-4) - @ New Orleans
9. Minnesota (4-5) - BYE
10. Giants (3-5) - @ Indianapolis
11. Carolina (3-5-1) - @ Philadelphia
12. Chicago (3-5) - @ Green Bay
13. St. Louis (3-5) - @ Arizona
14. Washington (3-6) - BYE

I mean at this point it would take a miracle, i.e. winning out. We're cooked. But...the Giants have to lose once, Seattle, Niners, Carolina, Green Bay and St. Louis would all have to lose next week. We should have won yesterday's game, we'd be where Minnesota is right now in the standings and only needing Green Bay and Seattle to lose next week.
