I'm still trying to understand this myself, but I think you're right.

Yes, correct, because either way one of them (Green Bay or Detroit) would be 9-7, and our 9-6-1 record would be better.

if det beats dal, we would then need det to beat gb (and we would need to win).

I think the best scenario for us would be for Detroit to lose to Dallas this week and beat GB next week, assuming that we beat the NYG in our final game. Then, in the playoffs, we would face Matthew Stafford who has an injured finger on his throwing hand rather than the red hot Aaron Rodgers. Also, we would play indoors in Detroit rather than on the frozen tundra of Lambeau Field.

Assuming Detriot loses tonight, they have incentive against GB next week right?

Also, Happy Holidays you magnificent bastards.

that's right. if they lose tonight, and we win next week. they have to beat gb to make the playoffs.

if det loses tonight > and we win next week > the winner of the det vs gb game will win the division and the loser will miss the playoffs > (if they tie, they both get in and we miss the playoffs)

We wouldn't even have to be talking about scenarios if these dopes had handled business this past Monday night. Still not over that shit showing of an effort.

I am with you on that. That is why
I am not so sure they deserve the playoffs, but then again, half of these playoff teams are just backing into the playoffs as well. We can beat the
G-Men, but our defense better be fired up!!!!!

I think if we even had close to an average kicker we would have. Isn't Hopkins #1 in the NFL for missed kicks this year?

Hopkins cost us 2 maybe 3 games this year. We could be 10 - 5 if Hopkins has a better season.

If we get in as the 6th seed, shouldn't we play the 3rd seed. I thought we would play the Seahawks in Seattle. Dallas and Atlanta will have week one off; 3 plays 6, 4 plays 5.

Giants will play Lions or GB, We play Seattle.

If we had gone 10 - 6 or 11 - 5 would our opinion of the Joe Barry be different? Would we have a more positive outlook going into the playoffs.

I guess Gruden / Scott M doesn't want to take the chance that Hopkins is just "off", and would go on and be a reliable player somewhere else, which has been the problem with some of our kickers that we've released. That being said, i think you bring in another leg in training camp next year and if Hopkins struggles you release him, but at least give him another off-season to see if he gets better..

Imagine witnessing it live. During your first ever live game. While already taking a victory selfie with a random redskins fan.

It. Hurts.
