Not as Familiar with this…but with Philly losing, what are the scenarios for us getting the bye??
We can clinch next week if we win and:
Minny loses this week or next.
If the Hawks could beat the Vikings, and we beat the 9ers, we’d clinch. That’s the quickest way.
We own all the tiebreakers
We need minny to lose this week or next.
I think GB beats them next week. Then if we beat Niners week 18 is essentially useless right?
We win once + Vikings lose once and we clinch it.
Us winning twice means the Vikings literally have to lose one, so that’s basically it.
Yes, we’d have clinched the division and 1 seed
Philly only gets back in the picture if we lose both games. If we win next week, they’re eliminated from the #1 seed.
Weird to think the number one seed will go to only a north team now…
1/5 seeds are the north’s right now
Who cares about seeding, it’s one game at a time just concentrate on your next win and everything else will take care of it self. If we get a by that’s what we really need we play as good on the road as we do at home, just keep winning the next game.
If we clinch before week 18, I’d be all for resting starters this year with all of the injuries
Having the SB go through your house is a huge advantage
I think we get #1 with a win n SF regardless of MN
If Minny wins out, they get the 1 seed.
#1 seed gets a bye and HFA through playoffs, so no going to Philly in the snow/cold. Big deal.
Wow, great play by Metcalf
Yeah for a banged up team, top seed is huge.
The #1 seed is the biggest advantage in professional sports.
Other then the bye , what else home field advantage , but we haven’t lost on the road this year. You start worrying about seeding and not focusing on winning the next game and you loose. Seeding goes out the window.
True but the 2 games we lost was at home we haven’t lose on the road.
