Probably but its hard to say with EA tie breakers.
Playoffs
AFC
1. Broncos 13-2 X
2. Stealers 13-3
3. Bills 12-3 Y
4. Texans 11-4
5. Chargers 12-3
6. Bengals 11-4
7. Colts 10-5
Colts might be alive still with EA tie breaker logic.
NFC
1. 49ers 14-1 Y
2. Eagles 11-4 X
3. Falcons 9-6
4. Packers 7-8
5. Giants 11-4 (The website shows them as first in the East now FWIW)
6. Rams 9-6
7. Cowboys 9-6
8. Saints 9-6
The Bears and Lions are still alive but right now neither is favored to win this week and the Packers are favored.
Y = clinched division
X = clinched playoff spot
There's something shameful about the Lions and Bears both still having a shot at their division title OR a top 10 draft pick.
He's going to either Jacksonville or Cleveland. Personally I think Cleveland should take Jordin Grey
AFC playoff participants are decided, I have no tiebreakers for the sixth spot and Rors is eliminated, too.
Seeding is a little foggy yet.
NFC is still sort of interesting, in that retarded little brother from What's Eating Gilbert Grape sort of way:
Birdles and DCX control their own destinies.
Wellie makes the playoffs as the 6 if:
Levious makes the playoffs as the 6 if:
CB(Bluemax) and BigAT(LJ) have the 2 seed on the line. Unfortunately, LJ can't rest guys and has to play against AT to get a win.
Random bonus fact: GCQ is 6-1 at home this year and that's where DCX has to go play.

- If both win they are both in, DCX wins the division, Birdles is the 6.
Wellie makes the playoffs as the 6 if:
- He wins(Cola) and both Birdles and DCX lose.
- He wins and either Birdles loses (Rinsler) or DCX loses (to GCQ).
- I can't be bothered to look up head-to-head on this shitty website, but if Wellie beat either DCX or Birdles this year and all three teams could lose AND levious would have to lose, and Wellie would make the playoffs.
Levious makes the playoffs as the 6 if:
- He wins, Wellie loses and one of the following lose: Birdles (Rinsler), DCX(GCQ).
- Same head to head shit as Wellie, if Levious beat any team that finishes with the same record as him and has enough wins to qualify as the Wild Card, he makes the playoffs)
CB(Bluemax) and BigAT(LJ) have the 2 seed on the line. Unfortunately, LJ can't rest guys and has to play against AT to get a win.

I can probably play tomorrow or Saturday during the day, I need to lose to you so that I pick ahead of you in the draft!
Thanks for being accommodating
I think it's a coin flip. You should win so you get the coaching xp and legacy points. I have nothing to win for and McFadden is out.
I'll post here when I wake up if you're available in the morning. ~11am

Oh I am working all week, I should've included that. I could play tomorrow evening or Saturday day time. My bad, it's l8
Working? Sucker. Evening works for me. What time do you get home?
Probably banker hours, like 530-6 or so, with some slush time to walk the dog
I have the Lions 1st
I'm thinking Story has the #1 because I have the better divisional record
I noticed this yesterday. I feel like there need to be awards for statistical oddities, I'd give GCQ the "Century Link Homefield advantage" award for never winning on the road.
I'd give Cola the "maybe you're in the wrong conference" award for his 3-1 record against the AFC and his 0-11 record against the NFC.
And the "maybe you're in the wrong division" award to Levious who is 9-0 against teams not from the NFC East and 0-6 against the NFC East.
lmao. that sucks, that's how I feel about being in a division with "Better win at least 12 games or you're out" LJ
Also while Aarin Carroll is clearly the stud WR of this draft I am actually encouraged because I'm finding that there are plenty of good WR
also I ask again, the FUCK does awareness do for receivers?
Despite being currently tied for the division, I think I'm going to need to win and a CB loss in order to take the East. We split our series and have the same division record, but if we both win CB will have the stronger conference record. If we both lose, I believe CB would have me if win percentage against common opponents. I have him dominated in the most important tie-breaker category though, alphabetical order of team's location.
LJ, I should be around most of today if you can play, aside from during Rutgers' bowl game (5:30).

Yeah, it literally feels like we're a different team on the road. Whatever can go wrong in those games usually did. If I can control that and keep up the home momentum next season, we might be able to do something.
AWR is either the most important or the least important stat in the game depending on who you ask. The honest answer probably is no one really knows.

Hence my new gameplan. More running...less passing
DCX
Despite my tons of interceptions the last three weeks I am still more afraid to run the ball because of the hit stick shit. Not that I think levious would ever do it but it scares me to death.
Speaking of fumbles, I sack-fumbled Romo at the end of the first half. As the ball lay on the ground (no whistle blew, no one recovered it) the game went to play select and Levious was able to let the clock tick down to 3 seconds (the entire ten seconds the ball was laying on the field!) call a TO and kick a field goal.
Fuck you, EA.

Can't believe you guys are still rolling without any bail outs.
Most successful league ever?
Putting my name on the Madden 2014 list if nobody here wants to move on to a franchise in next years game.

Despite my digs in NFL thread, I am lobbying for you to play immediately! Would you be a caring and kind member of the GMLPA?

The hit stick glitch doesn't scare me enough. The DBs in our league are the most upgraded unit in the franchise.
Their goals are easy. Stupid easy. Four of my DBs/ Safeties have met it already. With one of them one int away. LBs will never get it because we barely get 80. Some of the goals are over 100.
That said you have to be a good passer in this league. You just have to. Its the key to winning. Beating a zone and man.
Running the ball just closes the gap between your next into and first down. At least for me lol
DCX
Squickening is bad enough, but Squickening within the same division? That's just unfathomable.
My olineman recovered it, but for some reason in 13 it never seems to let olinemen advance a fumble recovery even if the scoop it up without going to the ground.
Huh, on my screen literally no one recovered it. It was just sitting there!
DCX
DCX
It assigned it to Levious. After ten second offense gets the ball. Tie always goes to the offense.
Idk if that's the case but I'm sure its not out of the realm of possibility with EA.
DCX
It seems cool but I couldn't get into it once it opened up. Open world, story based driving games aren't my thing I guess.
Bob, let me know if you get NS2. I might pick it up too.
What is this 4 gig patch downloading right now for Sleeping Dogs??

I already laid it out here.
To update:
If DCX wins he gets the NFC South
If Birdman wins he is locked into the playoffs no matter what (Division or WC berth).
If DCX *OR* Birdman lose and levious wins, the Cowboys are in the playoffs.
If I win, DCX *OR* Birdman lose *AND* levious loses, the Rams are in the playoffs.
eznark has already clinched the NFC North.
If both CB and AT win or lose, then it should go to common opponents tiebreaker. They are exactly tied in that regard. If they both win then CB gets the division and the bye by virtue of the conference record tiebreaker. If they both lose it will go to strength of victory, in which I *believe* that CB has the better SOV.
Bird and DCX are 1-1 in their matchups.
levious beat me head to head so he has the tiebreaker over me.
If all four of the Falcons, Saints, Rams, and Cowboys lose it would be the common opponent tiebreaker between the Saints and Falcons, the winner of that gets the division and the loser would get the WC spot due to conference record.
That should cover all possibilities.
It's really kind of crazy. It's been the same nucleus going from like Madden 05 in league play. In 04 we just did a million tournaments.
I can't get a read on what AWR actually does for a WR. Leopard has like 35 AWR and he is an absolute beast.
You still have a division crown and bye to play for!
I should be free later tonight, around 9 or 10 central.
Kenny Timm has 23 awareness and he styles all over people.
Awareness doesn't seem to matter for WRs.
I feel like speed, acceleration, release, the three catch attributes, and route running are what matter most. Jumping and height don't even seem to help with how ungodly DBs are.

Nah, Crow beat me twice so even if we tie he has the division locked up. He also has the alphabetical tiebreaker in the event the EA's logic is broken. That time works for me.

Because your competition already has 9 losses and if you tied you'd have the best divisional record anyway.
This is assuming, of course, that EA put the tiebreakers in correctly.
Eznark should have won the division, but EA didn't call it for him yet on the website. Which is strange because he should have it locked up.
This is going to be the ugliest of all time then.

Gotcha, wasn't sure if you actually knew-knew what EA had done. I know I should have clinched it, but Detroit is before Green Bay in the alphabet.
I'd kind of like to tank my last game just to laugh at making it with a 7-9 record! This is already the most wins I've ever had anyway. A .500 season is really just pushing it.

I believe in you Rinsler.
