Is it true (playoff seeding)

[Shane Falco]

Those last two division head to heads are huge.

Insane that 11 wins with 3 to go doesn’t have a playoff spot clinched. Long way to go.

Here's chatgpt's analysis of the tiebreakers between the Seahawks and Rams, if the Seahawks win on thursday:

2 and 3 on there give me some PTSD from last season. I hope we don't end up needing 60 things to happen in week 18 again.

Winning out is obvious as it gives us the best record but what I’m curious about is the final game against the Niners and I’ve heard no really good details on this.

Let’s assume for this question that we win all our games going into the final week but the Rams win out including the final week and the Niners win out up to the final week. (For
The purposes of this question I’m going to assume that the Rams play ahead of us and we know they have won)

This puts the Rams at 13-4
Niners at 12-4
Seahawks at 13-3


Now what happens if the Niners win and it’s a three way tie at 13-4?


I think we would win it so it likely doesn’t come to fruition but it’s not an unlikely scenario that the final game could have this exact circumstance as a possibility.

You could still win the division if you lose to the 49ers, but it's unlikely. You'd need the 49ers to lose at least 1 of their other 2 games and the Rams to lose 2 of their 3 games. Week 15 isn't for all the marbles. It just keeps you in the hunt.

Winning Thursday is definitely no guarantee but losing Thursday is something we can’t afford so we will win

If we are working in the world of realistic probability… to win the division:
- we have to beat LA
- we can’t lose to Car or 49ers as LA will own the common opponents tie breaker with the former; and we lose out on the divisional tie breaker in the latter.

So yeah - to keep it simple win out and get the seed or don’t and we’re looking at 5-7 (I’m not even considering a world we crash out of the playoffs).

So Thursday is the first and most important step. Don’t shit the bed against the Panthers and finally do not let Santa Clara ruin it at the very end.

 

[Shane Falco]

Even if they lost to the Panthers but beat the Lambs and Whiners I'd feel pretty good about that no matter the seeding. I mean 13-4 and proving that they can beat those two teams would be a huge win in my book.

There you go, pm. Ugly.

Absolutely was, And I’ll take it.

We would have to lose out and the Lions finish tied with us to miss the playoffs.

 

[Mad Dog]

Nah, I hate the Lions, their fans are insufferable and I can't avoid them where I live. Go Rams. If we take care of our business, it ultimately won't matter what they do anyway.

How can a fan base that invented the paper sack over their head be insufferable? They’re a cursed franchise.

You sound like you have some personal beefs. And no legit Hawks fan would ever cheer for the Rams in a battle for the division. Like ever.
