***2014-15 Playoff Seeding Thread***

[Flintstones32]

yeap. i got miami and pittsburgh out @ 10-6 in the afc and dallas and detroit out @ 10-6 in the nfc. meanwhile new orleans gets in @ 8-8. pathetic

I agree that Dallas and Detroit finish at 10-6 but I am going to go out on a limb and say that puts them both in, especially if Arizona loses @ ATL this weekend. If they do, I believe there is a good chance they lose out and finish 9-7. I think the niners finish 9-7 also, which puts Dallas and Detroit in as 5 & 6 seeds. Niners could finish 10-6 also, which would then bring in conference wins as the tie breaker I think??? So 2 of those 3 would be in at that point. Now if Arizona beats ATL, they could be 10-6 also. I think SEA wins the division at 11-5 though, but if somehow they finish 10-6, it will get crazy.

Doesn't Arizona play KC this weekend? They just lost to ATL this past week.

[Avante]

We should see...

GB
Seattle
Philly
NO

as division winners. Arizona/Lions as WC's

Den
Indy
Cincy
NE

As division winners, with..this is tough. I think the Chargers are better than anyone left but they have a brutal December.

my bad. you are right. was looking at a non-updated version it seems. Well in that case I think Arizona is out then at 9-7. With Cowboys, Lions and niners fighting for the 2 WC spots at 10-6. Just dont see them beating any of the 4 teams left on their schedule, Arizona that is. We shall see. And I think the niners could easily go 9-7 if they can't beat the Chargers

[Aztecfan03]

Baltimore's chances should decrease with the loss of Ngata. Unfortunately that gives Miami a better chance of winning this week and a likely 10-6 record if they do.

[djohn2oo8]

Gotta give O'Brien credit, one year removed after 2-14, and nearly ZERO draft picks contributing, at 7-6 one last chance at making the wildcard.

did a great job with Penn State considering the post-Sandusky butt ing by NCAA. He might be one of the few Belichick guys to really pan out as a HC.

Like I said, Chargers control their own destiny. 2-1 may actually be enough tbh.

[spurraider21]

its glorious to see the Chiefs 1 game out after what happened a couple of thursdays ago

realistically all the teams below them right now likely lose 1 more except for maybe the Ravens. I know we have tiebreaker over ravens but not sure with steelers or 3-way tie.

Going for det sweep this weekend, bruh?

[spurraider21]

would be cool to have our first win streak since 2012

Yeah. It's been that long? Sheesh. I'll be pullin' for the Raiders to beat them Chefs. Still can't believe we lost to that team.

[Spur-Addict]

Yeaaaaaaah, that's how important stopping the run is. Can't stop the run, then you aren't stopping a damn thing. Don't care how good the back end is. Luckily we're solidified once again

[The Gemini Method]

Even though we were gashed by KC, it wasn't like we did not have our opportunities. That's what I take from that. The offense is what I'd be concerned with going forward. The D is finally healthy and they are rolling. Simon is proving his worth and avenged the 5-penalty showing against the 49ers. Maxwell has began to be versatile and an unheralded member of LOB. We sorely missed Chancellor and Wags. Those two being that grit and we'll be fine on that end. But you're right. If you give up the run then it's going to be hard to win.

[chunticakes]

So with that win the Cardinals are in for sure. They'll likely lose their next two games and face the winner of the NFC South. ing Cowboys have to win out.

Updated, the Bills are still in it! Gonna take some maneuvering to make it in, but gotta keep the faith

The problem is the AFC North has too many playoff teams--and Pittsburgh & Baltimore likely win out. Cincinnati could likely lose their next 2, but if they happen to beat Denver then that means the Week 17 Bills@Pats matchup will mean nothing to NE (our only chance of winning that game). The Texans could beat Baltimore but the Ravens are guaranteed a blowout victory against Cleveland in Week 17--besides, if we both finish 10-6 I don't know who would get the tiebreaker anyways.

Still, despite a horrible GM, OC, OL, and QB situation the Bills are staying compe ive. Imagine this defense when Kiko comes back next year

[Flintstones32]

Just need the Eagles to lose one more time and then the Lions will have no say in keeping themselves out of the playoffs!!!!

[The Gemini Method]

The re-formatting of the playoffs to 14 teams with the caveat that they would adjust whom hosts games in cases like this year with the NFC South sucking harder than Asa Akira in her first demo tryin' to make a name for herself--is coming too late tbh. 5-8-1? A division leader?

Finally back on top of the division. I wish I could say that I'm confident that they will stay there, but this team has been the most bipolar of all time. They look like the best team in the NFL some weeks, and the worst team in the NFL other weeks. I'll be sick if the Falcons beat us at home.

Good luck my . I think you guys take ATL.. I think Tampa might pull an upset off though. The Saints tend to always lose games they should win at the end of the year. I think the past two years it was St. Louis
