@znorseman

Close, the Vikings have to win this week (which they’re about to) to have any chance at controlling own destiny in Week 17.

The Vikings become Win and In next week if Vikings beat Houston and the Giants lose to Baltimore.

So at 3:25, we just have to switch which purple team to cheer for.

jmc1718 says:

Even if the Ravens lose the last 2 and the Steelers when the last 2. the Ravens still win the division with a better conference record..

———–

False. If Steelers, Ravens and Bengals all finish 9-7 the Steelers take the division and the Ravens fall to 6. I’d say there’s about as good a chance the Ravens lose their last 2 games as the Steelers win both theirs, so this isn’t unlikely.

The difference between going to Foxboro and hosting the Colts…

I can’t wait til the Ravens loose their next two games and give the Division to the mighty Steelers. It’s gonna be delicious.

Sure, let’s all make fun of the Rams. Ha-ha-ha. I wonder if you’ll be feeling the same way next year.

The Vikings have to win @Houston or its all over. The Giants and Seahawks have two home games each, with Seattle having a free win coming against the Rams.

So the Vikings playoff hopes will be determined Sunday, where they must beat the Texans and hope the Giants lose at home to the Ravens.

Am I right?

Love the fact that these steeler tools are looking straight past Cincy. Good thing those people carry around those big towels to cry into tomorrow.

And there you have it. A Rams-Dolphins Super Bowl is still possible————-but who would watch it ?

@zvikes.

Fellow Vikings fan here. I wouldn’t take this list as comprehensive regarding playoff scenarios. There are ways in the playoffs with a 9-7 finish.

The bottom line is the Vikings cannot win any tiebreakers involving the Seahawks, Redskins, or Giants.

Assuming the Vikings beat the Packers in week 17, the Vikes do win tiebreakers against Chicago and Dallas (which is the scenario right now.)

So to get in at 9-7, the Vikings have to hope the Bears lose one more game, and that Dallas finishes 2nd in the NFC East.

I just put a $1,000,000 bet down in vegas that the rams beat the dolphins in the Superbowl this year.

@bossyrossy – That’s because the Redskins and Cowboys play each other next week. It’s only possible for one of them to win out, so that’s correct.

What is not correct (at least one thing) is the vikings scenario. If the Vikings win out and the Giants and Seattle win out, the Vikes can still get in if the winner of the Redskins/Cowboys game loses the week before. Then the Giants would be 10-6 and division winners, Seattle or the 49ers would have the the 5th seed, and the Vikes would have the 6th seed at 10-6 with both the Cowboys and Redskins at 9-7. Basically the Vikes need 2 teams in the NFC East to go 1-1 or Seattle to lose out. There are some ways to get in if the Vikes go 9-7, but then they need a couple teams to lose out.

Awesome, according to this the redskins and cowboys can both clinch the same division if they win out.

By: larryboodry

larryboodry — Sun, 23 Dec 2012 02:17:30 +0000

I think there’s a scenario where the Bears would make it in if they win out and the Vikings lose twice, but I don’t recall the exact details. Also, if the Bears and Cowboys both finish 9-7, and Dallas finishes 2nd. in their division, the Bears are in.

As a Dolphin fan I have heard people talking about them going to the playoffs off and on. Each one of those times I swear I hear Jim Mora’s playoff rant going off in my head. Even if Miami made the playoffs (and it is painful for me to say this) I would feel they shouldn’t be there.

Giants in danger of no playoff birth. Tough game at Baltimore this week. Pretty much a must win.

I’ve seen a few different scenarios where the Bears could still get in at 9-7. Couldn’t take the time to spell those out for us?

And the Raiders still maintain the ball hit Frenchy Fuqua, making Franco’s catch illegal. They want the officials to go upstairs to confirm it. Madden still had one challenge and one timeout left.

Packer fans know the Cards ain’t beating the ‘Niners in Week 17, so they’ll be HUGE Seahawk fans tomorrow. The irony is delicious.

GB can also secure the 1 seed if they win out and atlanta loses out and SF goes 1-1 the rest of the way.

By: shlort

shlort — Sun, 23 Dec 2012 00:06:35 +0000

The Packers only need to win one game to clinch the 3 seed (not win out). GB will have 11 wins and the Giants, Cowboys and Redskins can only get to 10 if the win out. GB can clinch the 2 seed by winning out and having the Niners lose one game of their final 2.

The Seahawks might actually go to the playoffs with a winning record this time instead of losing their way in at 7-9.

By: FinFan68

FinFan68 — Sat, 22 Dec 2012 23:55:40 +0000

Individually, all the scenarios for the Dolphins are quite doable. The main problem is actually beating the Patriots. It would not surprise me at all if everything happened as needed and the Patriots beat the Dolphins. I haven’t expected the Dolphins to be a playoff team this year but they did look pretty good for a stretch. As long as Tannehill develops into a good QB, I don’t much care what happens this season

For some reason, I just feel like Denver and Seattle will make very deep playoff runs.

If Seattle wins out but San Francisco beats ARZ in Week 17, would SF still win their division?

SF-SEA will be a great game tomorrow night.
