Home field 


Just read that the Falcons will have home field advantage (looks like at least). Congrats and "Do the South Proud"

When the playoffs start I'll come here "singing" if ya'll want me to.... devil

Re: Home field 


Thanks, but we haven't even clinched the division yet (though a Bucs loss or one more win seals that. Otherwise they'd still need us to lose out and win out themselves)

As of right now, I've figured out we need 14 wins if either the Bears and Niners don't lose, subtract a win if they both do.

So will need either 2 more wins and loss from them, 1 win and two losses from each of them, of else still need to win 3 of the next 4. 

Not sure how the tie-breakers would work out with the same records, but that tie from the 49ers mean they could still theoretically go 13-2-1 without a loss, which obviously would best us at 13-3.

I wouldn't call it just yet, but at least 2 more wins with a loss from both of them is very doable.

Re: Home field 


Breaking it down further:

Bears may have a tough time keeping up with the Falcons, facing the Seahawks, Vikings, Packers, Cardinals, Lions. I could see a loss there as early as this week, with the Seahawks being able to bring the pressure against that crappy O-line. A loss would bring them to 12 wins at best.

Niners on the other hand are probably not likely to lose against the Rams or Dolphins (though both teams might be a tougher win than previously suspected), but then the Patriots and Seahawks in weeks 15 and 16 might be the best shot to keep them at 12 wins at best with a loss.

Just ran the playoff simulator too, and it's showing the Bears as winning a tie-breaker over us. Obviously there will be no tie-breaker with the Niners with their tie, so will definitely need to have a better record than either team to even get a first-round bye.

Still in great shape, but with the Panthers, Giants, Lions, Bucs to go, and there aren't any easy wins left. I'd say 13 wins is the real magic number, but still entirely possible that 14 wins might be needed.

RE: Home field 


You all will win the division, it's just a formality at this point.

I actually think you guys hit a skid and lose two or three of the remaining games.

What?

It's a message board, in case you forgot and I love the back handed racial remark, very...sly...or pathetic.

I got that name from ksk about Brandon weeden, never thought of it as racial . I just thought of it as a good insulting nickname.

Way to think racially and pull the race card that quick. Real classy. I bet you are a blast to hang out with.

Well, that was easy. Now just 2 more wins to clinch with magic number 13.
