No. It's not. Read the rules.

They will win on common opponents unless they lose to Carolina.

UPDATED situation after today's loss.

First the Falcons have to lose to the Panthers for the Saints to win the division.

The Saints would have the same win-loss as the Falcons, the Saints will be ahead in win-loss percentage within the division.

If the Saints win out and the above happens the Saints will get the 1st seed ahead of the Eagles. The Saints will be tied in win-loss, but ahead of the Eagles in win-loss percentage in the conference. The Eagles would have lost 3 games in the conference to the Saint's 2 conference losses.


Wildcard situation: (if the above does not happen)

If the Saints beat the Falcons but lose to the Bucs, the Saints will still finish ahead of the Bucs.
The Saints will be tied in games won-lost, and tied in head to head, but ahead of the Bucs in win-loss percentage in the conference.

The Saints can lose to either the Falcons or the Bucs, but not both, and finish ahead of the Giants.
The Saints will be tied with the Giants in win-loss, but the Saints will be ahead of the Giants in win-loss percentage within the conference.

I don't feel the need to break down the situation with the Packers because they won't win out.

Basically, the Saints can still win the division, and they are in very good shape to still keep the 5th seed.


quote:

TO BREAK A TIE WITHIN A DIVISION
If, at the end of the regular season, two or more clubs in the same division finish with identical won-lost-tied percentages, the following steps will be taken until a champion is determined. Two Clubs
1. Head-to-head (best won-lost-tied percentage in games between the clubs).
2. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the division.
3. Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games.
4. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the conference.

That's the wild-card tie-breaker, not divisional tie-breaker.

Common opponents comes first before conference record.

yeah I updated it. I copied it from a post I made in the playoff scenario thread. Now it reflects both the Division and Wildcard situation.

It's real simple. The Saints ain't beating Atlanta, so you can go ahead and take that scenerio off the table. Therefore, they will be playing Tampa for a playoff berth on the last game of the season. Winner will be in, loser goes home. I would never in a million years have thought after last season, the Saints would miss the playoffs this year, but they probably will.

why aren't we beating Atlanta? We lost a tough game today. We were in the game even with a shitty running game and being unable to stop the run. frick. I'm just as disappointed as anyone but they are going to be in the playoffs.

Pretty simple actually. It really doenst matter what ATL does against Seattle. If they lose we can in the division outright with no tiebreaker, but either way Saints can still win division beating ATL and TB and ATL must lose to CAR. SEA game is meaningless now that the saints lost today

Wrong...the Saints would need to win out and Atlanta would have to lose to us plus the Seachickens or Falcounts.
