Not necessarily. We would get in if Redskins lost one and the Bucs lost two if we win out. I'm just pissed we blew both games to the Lions. We would be leading the division if we just won one of them because we would lead in the division tiebreaker. 2-2 vs 2-3Raptorman wrote:With the Giants beating the Cowboys the Vikings now need to win out, and have at least two teams lose two games or the Lions lose all three.
Injuries happen, I know you have been hit pretty hard by them, but you arent the only one.S197 wrote: How does leadership fix 5 tackles going down to injury? And every other position at some point in time.
Leadership needs to upgrade the line, I don't think there's any argument there but what happened this year could not be fixed by any team.

Of course not. However, what team has had the same extent of injury as us? I would argue no team is as decimated as the Vikings.Jordysghost wrote:

Team doesn't deserve to make the playoffs if they cannot even beat Detroit one freaking time.Raptorman wrote:With the Giants beating the Cowboys the Vikings now need to win out, and have at least two teams lose two games or the Lions lose all three.
I think the same about the Packers.HardcoreVikesFan wrote: Of course not. However, what team has had the same extent of injury as us? I would argue no team is as decimated as the Vikings.

Detroit is a better team than you think they are. At this point, I would say they are better than Dallas. Actually, I think they beat Dallas. As will Tampa.HardcoreVikesFan wrote: Of course not.

They are not better then Dallas. Or at least, i really doubt it.Raptorman wrote:Detroit is a better team than you think they are. At this point, I would say they are better than Dallas. Actually, I think they beat Dallas. As will Tampa.

The reason being, a lot of the teams in the hunt (I excluded teams that have no chance of getting to 10 wins) still have games against each other.
Vikings: 7-6
Colts
@Packers
Bears
Win out and the Vikings will be at 10-6
Lions: 9-4
@Giants L
@Cowboys L
Packers L
The Lions would then finish at 9-7 and nothing past this part matters because the Vikings would win the division.
*Note: Packers aren't included because for this scenario the Vikings would have to beat them in week 16 which then would prevent the Packers from reaching 10 wins.
Cowboys: 11-1
Not even worth posting their remaining schedule (all of their remaining games are against other teams "in the hunt"). I have them finishing at 14-2 and the first seed in the NFC.
Giants: 9-4
Lions W
@Eagles L
@Redskins W
Final: 11-5
Redskins: 7-5-1
Panthers W
@Bears W
Giants L
Redskins end the season at 9-6-1.
The only team from the West that matters are the Seahawks. They're the only one that can get over 10 wins. I have them finishing the season at 12-3-1 and the number two seed.
Falcons: 8-5
49ers W
@Panthers W
Saints W
Falcons win the South with an 11-5 record and secure the number 3 seed.
Bucs: 8-5
@Cowboys L
@Saints L
Panthers W
Bucs finish at 9-7
Under these conditions the playoffs would look like this:
1) Cowboys
2) Seahawks
3) Falcons
4) Vikings
5) Giants
6) Redskins
However, if the Lions manage to pull off one more win and everything else stays the same the playoffs would look like this:
1) Cowboys
2) Seahawks
3) Falcons
4) Lions
5) Giants
6) Vikings
Basically, what I'm saying is there's still a lot of football to play and the Vikings are still in it.
*Edit 1: Updated records after this weeks games. Removed Eagles and Saints, neither of them can reach 10 wins at this point, and under this scenario the Vikings would be at 10. Changed Lions last game against the Packers to a loss so show how Vikings can win division.
*Note 1: As of 4DEC16 there are 5 teams fighting for the 2 wildcard slots (assuming only teams with a chance of getting to 10 wins are fighting). Vikings are on the outside looking in.
*Edit 2: Updated with results from 11DEC16 early games.
*Edit 3: Updated with results from 11DEC16 late games.
*Edit 4: Updated with 11DEC16 night game. Made changes to how final standings would look.
Not true. They do that all the time.magster wrote:you guys are on hope drugs.the vikes couldn't beat themselves
