However, if the Giants lose to Baltimore then it won't even matter. Our playoff destiny hinges on the Redskins game week 17 as long as the Giants lose one of their final two games.
Correct? |
So your hypothetical is this: DAL loses to NO, WAS beats PHI, NY loses to BAL, and DAL beats WAS. Correct?
In that case, no. Dallas and Washington would be tied in overall record (9-7), would have split the head-to-head, and would be tied in division record (4-2). So it comes down to conference record, which would be 6-6 for Dallas and 7-5 for Washington. |
In that scenario, we'd still win the division.

So, to take it one step further...
We would also need for Minnesota and Chicago to lose both of their games. OR, would we beat either of them in a tiebreaker if we were both 9-7?
OOOOOOH THE SCENARIOSSS.....

Now, that's funny. And people are LYING if they deny thinking it nearly every game.

It goes common opponents, then conference record..

Giants aren't losing to Baltimore, the Ravens are a mess right now on both sides of the ball, I'm not saying its impossible but there's no way we can say "oh this game doesn't matter because the Giants will lose too".
We have to think as if the Giants are going to win out, in which case that means we have too as well.

Not as worried about the Saints as I am the Redskins. I can see the Cowboys handling the Saints and falling flat in Washington..  |

You are correct Waremd. For teams within a division, whether it is for the division or wildcard, they go in this order:
1. Head to head
2. Division Record
3. Common opponent record
4. Conference record.
For teams in different divisions, it goes:
1.Head-to-head, if applicable.
2.Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the conference.
3.Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games, minimum of four. |

Guys.
If Dallas wins out. We deserve to be in the playoffs. As simple as that.
If we cant beat the Saints and the Redskins how can we expect ourselves to do anything in the playoffs against the Packers or The Seahawks in the first round ?

This game does matter, regardless!! We play before the Giants do on Sunday. Take home the victory and not worry about what the Giants do. It's as simple as that!!

depends on week 17, in your scenario.
In your scenario, Giants are eliminated from playoffs. Washington would be up by one game. It comes down to Week 17 Cowboys @ Washington. We win, we get Division by virtue of tie breakers. Washington Wins, they win Division out right.

Just clarified that the scenarios. Didn't say I was looking forward to losing to the Saints, and then beating Washington, and sneaking into the playoffs. |
