Especially as a wildcard team, I don't want to watch them go to New Orleans and lose again. Id rather Dallas, Seattle or San Fran go to New Orleans
hopefully TB can upset Detroit next week. If not next week then Carolina is probably the only other game they have a shot.
How sad is it that with 4 games to go there may be 5 teams with 2 wins or less? (assuming the Jets lose on Monday).
So true. Giants beating Packers in playoffs, and Patriots in SB. Creates the illusion they're some elite, consistent team, however they have recently been being exposed for their true talent, both talent, and coaching staff. I want Detroit in the playoffs. I may root for GB, but I love me some Calvin, and I feel for their franchise, their fans.
Going into this week AZ was 9-2 and Dallas was 8-3 ... and it wouldn't shock me at all if both of them miss the playoffs. In fact, I'm pretty sure AZ won't make it. They may not win another game this year.
Arizona is a league average team whose record belied their ability. Every year they struggle to win on the road. Dallas has a December swoon every year. So right now I'd say Philly takes the East, Seattle takes the West, Green Bay the North, Atlanta/NO the South, and then there are two wild cards for Detroit/Dallas/Arizona/SF. Considering SF trails and still has to go to Seattle, I think either Dallas or Arizona does get in.
AZ still has to play KC (#1 vs pass) Seattle (#2 vs pass) and SF (#3 vs pass) with Drew Stanton at QB. If they lose @ Rams they very well could end the season on a 6 game losing streak. Gun to my head, I say no way they're making the playoffs. I feel a little better about Dallas's chances, but they still still have @ Philly and vs Indy. Detroit hosts Tampa on 10 days rest and then hosts Minn so they'll most likely be 10-4. Dallas really need to win @ Philly or they can be in BIG trouble. Should be an interesting finish.
Yes, but who's going to keep both out? SF? SF is 2 behind Arizona and still travels to Seattle. So I think SF goes either 2-2 or 3-1. That puts them 9-7 or 10-6. Arizona could win @STL and has home games against KC and Seattle. They could win either of those. Say 1-3 or 2-2. Dallas has three very winnable games. @CHI, IND at home, and @WAS. Say they take 2 (and lose at Philly). 10-6. It's pretty unlikely that Arizona and Dallas both miss out. SF would have to finish on a tear.
