If Seattle loses the rest of their games, the Bears/Carolina/Giants/Bucs win 1 out of 4, Atl/Min win 2 out of 4 and we win our last 4 we will have home field through out the playoffs

This is the kind of blind optimism I admire! Why bother sneaking in as a wild card or just a division winner? Let's go for home field advantage. I'll book my tix for Detroit now!

No, he's saying the rather improbable scenario he has proposed plus our winning the rest of our games gives us homefield advantage throughout

This gives me a headache just reading it. I'm just going to hope we win our last 4 and everything falls into place so I don't have to "think" too much about the scenerios.

WE NEED TO WIN OUT!!!!!
NYG- loses to either Eagles (not happening),Raiders (who knows?), or CHIEFS (best chance)
Keep in my mind us winning out beats them once
we are both 10-6 we split the series and we have a 5-1 division record with them having a 4-2
WE WIN THE NFC EAST
P.S. Deep thinkers....we would have beaten the Cowboys and they would still have @KC and @Carolina

Dallas plays KC at home.

Dallas really doesn't matter if we win out...we would own tiebreaker anyway...but would be great to just put them all the way out with 7 losses, GO CHIEFS...but better yet GO CHIEFS AGAINST THE GIANTS...then we control our own destiny.

Why are we mentioning the p-word ??? Its like saying in the dugout that a guy is pitching a no-hitter in baseball. You jinx it !!!
That being said and since the cat is out of the bag...
We win out and the Giants lose one more ( maybe KC) and the division is ours.
If we win out and the Giants just lose to us... then we need the following teams to just lose once each:
Atlanta
Minnesota
and we'll be guaranteed a wildcard.
The key here is to take care of business and win out

I take my chances ONLY one week at a time ...
... in the Hognostications thread.
RiC has hognosticated that we win this week. Joe will not allow the tem to look beyond the Cards.

What happens if Tampa goes 2-2 and we are in a 3 way tie, let's say with Minnesota and Tampa.

This is incorrect, if we are tied with Tampa we lose because the Head to head matchup is the first tie breaker, conference record is second.
We basically can finish tied with anyone except the Bucs and take the wildcard, or have the Giants lose one other game outside of ours.
Okay, im done...BEAT ARIZONA!!!! Thats all that really matters anyway.

WRONG !!! There is more than 1 wildcard (4 division winners and 2 wilcards per conference)!! We would get the second wildcard based upon the fact that we have a better conference record than Atlanta and Minnesota ... hence we would get the second wildcard.

i think what they are saying is, let's suppose we win out, but so does minnesota. they'd be 11-5, we'd be 10-6. let's also presume the bucs happen to finish 10-6.
well, the vikings would get the FIRST wildcard spot. then we'd be tied with TAMPA for the 2ND spot, which they would get via the head-to-head tiebreaker.
we can tie with tampa if we are both ahead or equal to the other teams, but if even one team remains 1 game ahead, we are probably toast.

D-C-D ... they were saying my analysis was wrong. What I'm saying is that my analysis is correct.
Atlanta and Minnesota are ahead by one gaem. If we win out and they each lose one game we get at least the final wildcard ... regardless of what other teams (like the Bucs) do. If that happens in that we win out and Minnesota and Atlants lose 1 game each, all 3 teams end up 10-6 and we beat the other teams via tiebreaker due to a better conference record.
Now my scenario assumes we win out and Atlanta and Minnesota lose at least 1 game. If either team also wins out then I'll have to "recalibrate"...but this is the easiest scenario to root for.
