See the difference? Now that I *have* jinxed us, I shall do my salt throwing. Whatever you are doing, don't stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nextyearfordaboyz Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 According to 538's simulator, even if we lose our last 3 games, we'd win the division 80% of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find that hard to believe (not doubting you) and odd that a team sitting at 8-5 can have an 80% chance of still winning the division if we lose out. Just Show's how weak the division is I guess.

Nice we can also pack up and get ready for the off-season if we do that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WheatieMan Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Honestly, you play this game hard this week because Luck is as good a test as any... But with the Eagles certainly to be smoked to Rams coming off a loss and Skins losing 3-0 in Jacksonville we take the division by the end of the night. If that’s the case I think you treat it as a third and fourth preseason schedule. Obviously you want to be sharp at home on week 16, but NYG is a BS game. Unless the Giants are playing for the last slot in the NFC that weekend just sit them and gear up for Seattle. We might have a cold weather game in Chicago in the NFC Championship but playing outdoors in NY doesn’t help with the preparations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last time we were in this position with Romo we played all our starters in Washington I believe. I wouldn't be surprised if JG does it again.

I don’t think Seattle has the horses to stay with us but it will be a very tight game. Honestly depends on who’s healthy and playing well going in.

I could have sworn we played a last game of the season with no playoff implications (we were in already and seeds determined)in DC. It was rainy and soggy. And we stil played our starters.

quiller Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 I just want to get in sometimes I worry about keeping momentum going but right now I want Elliot to get as much rest as possible as well as Smith Martin etc and let’s not have Lee get hurt again. Mostly doesn’t matter Seattle or Minny at home different problems Wilson can be clutch but Minny plays a better over all D at NO or LA flip a coin hard game but both winnable with our D and if our running game is on point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plan9misfit Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 4 hours ago, WizardHawk said: And that’s because these albatross QB contracts cripple the team. Look no further than what Romo’s ridiculous deal did to us. It leaves teams with a few options: 1. Stop doling out those insane deals and pay the player rather than the position. 2. Keep paying them at the expense of maintaining other players at key positions. 3. Force the QB to have its own independent salary cap that isn’t counted as part of the main salary cap in the next CBA negotiation. 4. Eliminate the salary cap.
