Klomp Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 So in summation, next week's PHI game really doesn't matter. The game of importance is Week 17 against Dallas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's what I fgured out last week: According to the ESPN Playoff Machine, if we win out, and PHI losses to DAL, they would still be #1 due to record in common games. I can't find any combo of results in other games that changes that, but maybe they have it wrong or I'm missing something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need to see if they tweak stuff tonight though. Last week it was stuck too during the afternoon games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CriminalMind Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Philly has tiebreak over minny. Minny win out, Philly lost out. That's what it takes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let the starters rest, don't risk any injuries, and get Teddy a FULL game of experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klomp Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Update: I was wrong. They haven't lost against any of the common opponents. Win out and PHI lose out is only path to top seed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Worm Guts Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 It’s kind of weird, I don’t know whether to cheer for or against the Saints the rest of the year. We could theoretically go into the last week of the season with a situation where no one controls their own destiny for a bye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a situation where the Chicago game is meaningless, I’d probably start Case and play him for about 2 series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klomp Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 There's something else winning both of the last two games would accomplish. The Vikings have only won 13+ games in a season one time (and yes, I know that four of the five 12-win seasons were when an NFL season was 14 games long).
