Staying Alive For Dummies

[Welshers2]

Hope we get the results today just so we're technically alive going into next week. It's over and not happening but it would be fun to still be alive

 

[Mistashoesta]

Are we talking about the mariners

Might as well be. Hard to tell the difference these days.

Buffalo is currently up 40-0 over the Jets. But I've heard many commentators say over the years that you are never out of the game as long as you have Aaron Rodgers on your side. So there's still a chance!!!!

Mariners I mean Seahawks win 6-3 and just miss the playoffs sorry folks

Go Packers over Vikings (possible)!
Go Falcons over Commies (possible)!
Go Dolphins over Browns (very possible)!
Go Lions over Niners (very possible)!

Go Lions over Niners (very possible)!

Are we sure it would take just three of these things happening and not all four? Because I can definitely see three of these happening, all 4 would be pushing it.

But why do people need to accept it? Who does it hurt for someone to choose to have some small hope? I don't get why those who have accepted the reality they are choosing are so annoyed by anyone choosing something else.

I think it's more just a misunderstanding where people think if those games work out today then all we need to do is beat the Rams next week. The problem is that those are the minimum for us to stay alive this weekend assuming all 9 games go in our favor next week. Even if everything had gone our way this weekend but the Rams game then it would have still been extremely long odds.

Yeah so far I like our chances, but we still got the most unpredictable part… Seahawks gotta win

 

[Rat]

Tua's not playing today btw.

 

[James in PA]

It's crazy. Suddenly, I feel a little bit optimistic because I can definitely see at least three of these four things happening. So naturally, you know only TWO of them will just to torture us even further.

And you're right even if three of the four or all four do happen, the toughest part still lies ahead next Sunday

 

[Rat]

The Jets got blasted, but QAaron got his ass handed to him by a defense that has been horrifically awful against the pass the past month, so I'll call that a net positive. Shame he's not immunized against sucking.

 

[James in PA]

Packers just fumbled while driving on opening possession. Carryover from last night.

 

[AROS]

Go Packers over Vikings (possible)!
Go Falcons over Commies (possible)!
Go Dolphins over Browns (very possible)!
Go Lions over Niners (very possible)!

Exactly! It ain’t over yet! I could easily see all 4 of those teams winning.

Exactly! It ain’t over yet! I could easily see all 4 of those teams winning.

Remember the earlier graphic, not only do we need teams to win this week but if enough go our way we need smoother 8 games or so to fall our way next week just to have a chance at the Rams game meaning anything

I’ve never thought of us as a contender this year and still don’t but it’s always more fun to have a chance.

 

[AROS]

Yeah not getting my hopes up but it’s still fun to have teams to cheer for to keep our microscopic hopes alive.

 

[Rat]

Interesting thread title on the day Jimmy Carter dies. As an expert at staying alive, he could have written that book.

 

[Atradees]

If we beat the Rams we will have the best record in I believe 3 years .to me, it's not a change until we replace some of the old guard. With that in consideration we are ahead of the game.

Yep. It’s also really really fun knowing the digits have been eliminated for awhile now!

Didn’t we just replace the entire coaching staff about 10 months ago? That doesn’t count as a changing of the guard?
