You really think Chi can beat Det? We talking about a Brandon Marshall-less Bears lead by Jay Cutler? I rather put my faith in the Colts.

It may be slim, but by golly it's possible!

Dallas better beat the Colts or they are most likely to be done

DET and GB both hold the tiebreaker over the NFC East teams. Other than the Cowboys losing a game you would need either GB, DET, or the Seahawks to lose BOTH remaining games.
Detroit is the only team who could reasonably lose both games.

Last game vs clots. Seems these "accidents" happen often but at least you admit it was dirty

Packers losing to the Bills today basically ruined any chances the Cowboys had of getting a first round bye. fuck off Rodgers!

I mean, it wouldn't be shocking if the Seahawks lost to the Cards or Rams. It's just hard to believe that they'll lose both games with the playoffs on the line.
Losing both would be such a Detroit thing to do, but that still depends on the Bears to stop being a dumpster fire for longer than 1 quarter a game.
And the Packers couldn't lose to the Buccs even if they tried.

I'm annoyed he basically made the subject about the Cowboys when it was about the playoff picture.
They lost to the Saints though. Is it at home or away?

away

Packers could be losing to the Bucs, and then the Bucs will be like "oh wait we are trying to lose" here take the ball.
Well the division will come down to week 17. If they lose week 16, then it's over for them. GB isn't losing with the division on the line.
He's clearly insane, and has no idea when to shut up.

It's at Chicago. But this season it seems like half the team is trying to tank just to spite Trestmann. And Cutler doesn't give a fuck anymore, plus the only receiver he knows how to throw to is out.
Guess we'll know better based on which Chicago team shows up tomorrow. It would be so Lions to underestimate Chicago while focusing on Green Bay though.

The Eagles still have a ways to go before they will be a contender. You can't lose two home games to playoff teams. The Eagles controlled their destiny and they blew it. They went from being in a sweet spot to get a first round bye (over 70% chance) to needing to rely on other teams to lose to even make it in at all. Frustrating day of football.
There has to be a reason for divisions to exist. Those are the rules. The Eagles played themselves out. 11 wins isn't going to be enough this season on its own. I don't want to count those chickens before they hatch. Eagles are in trouble.

If the Saints can go 8-8, is it still garbage?
I find it fun. Especially considering what happened last time a shitty team won a crappy division and hosted a playoff game.

Not really, you guys just need one or two piece. For Seattle it was Cliff Avril, and Michael Bennett.

Basically. I'm convinced they only beat the Steelers because they still thought they had a chance back then.
That is true. Plus a Detroit lose next week would virtually guarantee that the week 17 matchup will be the last SNF game. Which would raise the choking stakes.

Michael Irvin is the best thing to happen to football.
Karma is a bitch
Do you really believe in karma, Mech? In a world where a druggy drunk like Irsay can go from Manning to Luck. Or where sexual offenders in Florida win the lottery? Besides, we were just pulling some advanced techniques from your second favorite team!
The best part about the above gif is the ref sitting right there with a perfect view of it. Yet, he doesn't even call it!

Caldwell has them focused on their next opponent though. At least that's the approach he's taking with the team to try not to have them looking ahead.
Our problem is that we don't have a proven QB. Foles has been either mediocre or injured for most of the season. Sanchez cost us tonight. We probably would have lost to Seattle regardless. I wish the Eagles could sign a guy like Revis, but we need to draft secondary players. What sucks is that we were so close to getting Ha-Ha. I have been shouting about our corners since last off season too. Too bad corners are such a flukey pick to make in the first round.
Our first round pick this season hasn't contributed at all really. He helped knock the ball out of your punter's hand. That's about it. We need to get lucky with QB in the draft.
Lets discuss how AWESOME Johnny Fucking Football was today!
Yet he is still better than clowney.
Yes, cos Philly will have 10 or 11 wins. Goodell should change the rules on the fly like he does for everything else

if you can win the division and miss the playoffs there is no reason for divisions to exist.

The NBA has it where you're in if you win you're division but if record determines seeding. I'm okay with them getting a spot but should be a lower seed. Next year we're getting expanded playoffs anyways.

This year is also sort of a fluke because the NFC South probably should have been like the AFC South. One good team, three tire fires. The Saints somehow lost their homefield advantage, some players aged too quickly and they got injured. Plus their coaches seemingly forgot how to coach.
Realistically the Saints should have gone 6-0 or 5-1 in their division and won 4-5 other games. They'd still be a weak division winner in a weak division but not quite like this.

Some years you get stuck playing juggernauts twice a season, other years you beat up on slop. 6-7 years ago the NFC West was a garbage conference. Now it's a slugfest.
If you go by W-L, then you might as well just split teams up by conference.
They can can exist but the winner of a dumpster-fire division should hang up that banner and go home after week 16

This was a must win for Dallas but Eagles are still in a great position IMO.
Dallas losing to Indy and Philly winning out is a pretty likely scenario.
Also the best idea I've heard for changing the playoffs is making it so only >.500 teams are eligible. Not that it's a good idea, only the most plausible I've heard.

Irsay is a piece of trash and owns the luckiest pro sports team on the entire planet. That was a dirty, cheapass trip that there was no flag thrown for.
karma?
Fuck having the bye, I'd rather them keep rolling and playing on the road. Dallas can't play for shit at home, the road is their new home.
