we are GOING to make the playoffs!

I no longer think we are going to make the playoffs. Considering that TB won today and has a cake of a remaining schedule, TB edges us out for the 6th seed with the NYG taking the 5th seed. I'm encouraged by today (despite the loss), but I don't see us getting by with 9 wins and I don't think that 10 wins is a realistic expectation considering we can only afford one more loss and play @TB, @NYG, and DAL.

Det. would be the 6th seed, not TB.

TB will win the NFC South. They can stink it up the rest of the way, finish 7-9 and still win that division. Even if NYG finishes well, holds it together and takes the 5 seed, who else stays ahead of us for the other WC? Lions? Eagles? Cards? A team that is 4-6 now?

You're absolutely right. A few weeks back I thought the Saints would make a push (it doesn't look like they will now) and thought TB would be looking for a WC. Well, it looks like TB is going to get the NFC South spot, with us competing with Detroit for the final seed.
