Jesus, I wish that I was the Patriots in this. Last in the AFC East? Really?! LAST!?!
BTW, someone quote my long playoff implications post from the last page. I spent too much time at work doing that to have it go to waste on 50ppp

FOX SPORTS NFL UPDATE -- 5:32PM EST -- Following up on ESPN's initial report last night, Jay Glazer is now reporting one team has emerged as a front-runner in the bidding war for the rights to the 2012 #1 overall draft pick (which, if current record trends hold, would be possessed by the Washington Redskins). That team? The Indianapolis Colts.
The 2013 draft is gonna be a really good one for defensive line men.

NFC Wild Card Scenario, Final Spot. Week 15
There are really five teams vying for that final playoff spot in the NFC, two of them can still win their divisions:
- Cardinals (7-6) GB: 0
- Saints (7-6) GB: 0
- Panthers (6-7) GB: 1.0
- Lions (6-7) GB: 1.0
- Bears (5-7): GB: 1.5
Team Missing: Vikings (7-6). The Vikings currently control their division, but they could lose their division to the Lions (6-7) or Bears (5-7).
Cardinals (7-6) Playoff Scenario
Week 15: vs. Browns (3-10)
Week 16: @ Bengals (9-4)
Week 17: vs. Seahawks (3-9)
The Cardinals hold the tie breaker over the Panthers (Cards 17, Panthers 14 in week 1), but have not had head-to-head matchups against the other teams in the hunt. This hurts the Cardinals playoff chances because they have the weakest overall record against the NFC, at 5-6, with the maximum Conference potential to only be 6-6.
For maximum playoff opportunity, the Cardinals definitely need to beat the Browns and the Seahawks, although the Seahawks beat the Cards early in the season. Presuming a loss to the 9-4 Bengals, the Cardinals most likely scenario has them going 9-7 based on record alone. The Seahawks and Browns can both play spoiler to the Cardinals playoff chances.
If the Cardinals win out (Finish 9-7), they can only miss the playoffs by the Saints winning out, as the Cardinals would hold a head-to-head tie breaker with the Panthers (If the Panthers were to win out).
Saints (7-6) Playoff Scenario
Week 15: @ Vikings (7-6)
Week 16: vs Falcons (5-8)
Week 17: vs Panthers (6-7)
The Saints are also in a difficult tie-breaker predicament, with both the Panthers and the Lions holding Tie Breakers against them, but their NFC record is 4-5, with a potential to go 7-5, which would give them an edge against the Cardinals in a tie breaker.
However, the Saints have the best chance to win out, of any of the other remaining wild card teams, as every other team in the hunt has to play at least one playoff lock, and the Saints do not (they play two playoff contenders and one playoff extremely long shot in the Falcons).
If the Saints win out, they will make the playoffs.
Panthers (6-7) Playoff Scenario
Week 15: @ Houston (10-3)
Week 16: vs Bucs (8-4)
Week 17: @ Saints (7-6)
The Panthers hold versus tie breakers with the Saints and the Lions, but the Cardinals and Bears both hold versus tie breakers over the Panthers. The panthers also have a 5-5 NFC record, with a chance to go 7-5.
However, with arguably the most difficult schedule of the remaining NFC wild card teams, the Panthers have an uphill battle. The Panthers essentially need to win out. Wins against the Saints and Bucs would propel them to the best NFC record for the final remaining teams, and they would hold the tie breaker over the Lions (which they could presumeably be tied with at 7-5 in the NFC) after their mid-season victory over the Lions 35-21.
With projected losses to Houston and the Bucs, though, even a last game win against the Saints would still be an outside shot at the playoffs, requiring the Saints and Cardinals to both lose out.
If the Panthers win out, they can still miss the playoffs by the Cardinals winning out (who hold a head-to-head tie breaker).
Lions Playoff (6-7) Scenario
Week 15: @ Raiders (13-0)
Week 16: vs Cargers (8-5)
Week 17: @ Packers (3-10)
The Lions are in a strange predicament because despite being 6-7 and only holding a tie breaker over the Saints, split with the Bears, and failing to hold out over the Panthers, they can still win their division, and also finish with a strong 7-5 NFC record. However, facing difficult opponents in the Raiders and Chargers, the Lions chances are slim. The Lions are in the peculiar situation where a loss by the Vikings to the Saints would both help and hurt them -- in one respect, if the Saints beat the Vikings, and if the Lions win a game, then they could be tied with the Vikings going into the final weeks, but if the Saints beat the Vikings, the Lions would have a nearly insurmountable climb to the Wild Card spot.
If the Lions win out, they would hold a tie breaker over the Saints, but would not hold a tie breaker over the Panthers. If those tie breaker scenarios play out, though, then the Lions could win their division.
Bears Playoff (5-7) Scenario
Week 14: @ Broncos (6-6)
Week 15: vs. Seahawks (3-9)
Week 16: @ Packers (3-10)
Week 17: @ Vikings (7-6)
Similar to the Lions, the Bears can win their division, and they also have the easiest or second easiest schedule in the last few games. A loss to the Broncos would not completely eliminate the Lions from the playoff picture, as they could still potentially win their division at 8-8, if the Vikings lose to the Saints (becoming 7-7), and then in the final week lose to the Bears (making them 8-8), the Bears, could make the playoffs as a division winner with an 8-8 record, and the Lions being eliminated with a 7-9 record.
Most Likely Wild Card Winner
The Saints have the most likely wild card scenario, they are the only team who, if they win out, will control their own destiny. Likewise, the Saints are the only team who is playing opponents that they should likely beat.
Likely Scenarios Based on Matchups
Here are likely playoff scenarios based only on matchups and win/loss record. When in doubt or the record is the same, I relent and go with perceived team rating.
Saints (7-6) Playoff Scenario: 10 - 6
Week 15: @ Vikings (7-6) - Win (Identical records, Saints rated higher)
Week 16: vs Falcons (5-8) - Win
Week 17: vs Panthers (6-7) - Win
Cardinals (7-6) Playoff Scenario: 9-7
Week 15: vs. Browns (3-10) - Win
Week 16: @ Bengals (9-4) - Loss
Week 17: vs. Seahawks (3-9) - Win
Panthers (6-7) Playoff Scenario: 6-10
Week 15: @ Houston (10-3) - Loss
Week 16: vs Bucs (8-4) - Loss
Week 17: @ Saints (7-6) - Loss
Losses to Houston & Tampa Bay would force the Panthers into a spoiler role. If they lost those two games, they could mostly only work to eliminate the Saints by beating them in week 17.[/i]
Lions Playoff (6-7) Scenario: 7-9
Week 15: @ Raiders (13-0) - Loss
Week 16: vs Cargers (8-5) - Loss
Week 17: @ Packers (3-10) - Win
Bears Playoff (5-7) Scenario 7-9
Week 14: @ Broncos (6-6) - Loss (potential toss up)
Week 15: vs. Seahawks (3-9) - Win
Week 16: @ Packers (3-10) - Win
Week 17: @ Vikings (7-6) - Loss

Birdman02 said:Why do you hate me?
I think this is why:
Finally something good has happened to the city of New Orleans and the State of Louisiana. A team thats first 20 seasons didnt have a winning record. It led to boos and bags over the fans heads. The Aints, they aint no more. Hurricane Katrina ravaged the city, the winds so strong, the water too deep. Like many of the citys residents the team itself was homeless. Bouncing from Baton Rouge to San Antonio, the team barely held together, but didnt move permanently and began to rebuild. Funny how a city that was ravaged by wind, is now saluting a Brees.
When Drew Brees arrived four seasons ago, it was beginning of the end of the suffering for both the city and the franchise. He said he felt it was his calling, his destiny to come to the Saints at their worst time. Now they are calling him Breesus; the city renamed Drew Orleans.
Mrbob said:Wow, lot of 3 win teams. Near impossible to out tank them at this point.
Real talk. Super Bowl is set. Niners vs Raiders. The rest of us are already dead.
Well you do have the advantage of playing me! I finish out with Rams, Bears, 49ers, Cardinals. Time to name Jerrod Johnson starting QB!
<3, but I can't root for every team to make it!Birdman02 said:Why do you hate me?
Panthers because that would make consecutive playoff runs. That would be a small shift in the NFC balance of power.
Arizona because you need some new blood up in this and it's hard for any NFC West team to make it since they have to play FMT twice.
Bears because I kinda took his chances away and I liked his passing offense. It's a shame he didn't run a more balanced offense, but he was destroying my zone blitzes. He does hot reads better than anyone in the league except LES. It's just too bad he was adjusting his line the wrong way. :x
You and I both know this is false. If the Colts end up a WC, then a WC might make it to the SB.LukeSmith said:
