Now that the Redskins lost to the Titans the number of contingencies reduces considerably. The major game that we need to break our way is for the Texans to beat the Eagles.Texas Vike wrote: ↑Sat Dec 22, 2018 8:12 am This is the most comprehensive view of the playoff contingencies that I've seen:

In a way , it increases. If Seattle loses both games and dallas does, they have a chance...I know it's slim till tomorrow, but....Texas Vike wrote: ↑Sat Dec 22, 2018 8:34 pmNow that the Redskins lost to the Titans the number of contingencies reduces considerably.

Tomorrow: If we beat Detroit and the Texans win, we're in the playoffs.
Of course, if we win our next two, we are in regardless.
If the Texans win, the Vikings only need to win one of their last to games. I prefer they win both.Texas Vike wrote: ↑Sat Dec 22, 2018 8:34 pmNow that the Redskins lost to the Titans the number of contingencies reduces considerably.

I agree but I think Seattle will win tonight.J. Kapp 11 wrote: ↑Sun Dec 23, 2018 4:18 pm Now that we've beaten the Lions, it's appropriate to look at this ... we can still get the No. 5 seed.
Seattle is 8-6. We're 8-6-1. Seattle has to play the Chiefs today. It's highly conceivable that we could be in the 5 spot by the end of the day. Then it's up to us to beat the Bears at USB.
In my opinion, we want that. I, for one, don't want to play the Bears two weeks in a row, especially on the road in Chicago. We'd have a much better chance in the dome at Dallas.
Seattle needs to lose next week too. To the Cardinals. At home.J. Kapp 11 wrote: ↑Sun Dec 23, 2018 4:18 pm Now that we've beaten the Lions, it's appropriate to look at this ... we can still get the No. 5 seed.

I djnt think thsts right. If they lose tonight they are 8-7. We are 8-6-1.S197 wrote: ↑Sun Dec 23, 2018 4:39 pmSeattle needs to lose next week too. To the Cardinals. At home.J.

You might be right, I asked in game chat and was told Seattle needs to lose twice.PurpleMustReign wrote: ↑Sun Dec 23, 2018 4:54 pmI djnt think thsts right. If they lose tonight they are 8-7. We are 8-6-1.
Thanks for clarifying. Playing Dallas instead of Chicago would be huge. The path would be mostly domes and warm weather teams.Purple Domination wrote: ↑Sun Dec 23, 2018 5:01 pm If we win next week it will only take one Seattle loss to get the #5 seed. If we lose next week (god forbid) we need either Seattle to lose twice, or the Eagles to lose to the Redskins just to make the playoffs. Hopefully we don’t need it, but it would nice to get some help from AP beyond the grave!
This would be ideal. I think the Bears are going to be really hard to play though, wherever the game is. Would love to see them out in the first round. I honestly would rather play any other team at their home.S197 wrote: ↑Sun Dec 23, 2018 5:05 pmThanks for clarifying. Playing Dallas instead of Chicago would be huge.
