Well Green Bay is winning and the Saints are winning. Still have a shot at the playoffs. Can someone let me know what needs to happen the rest of the season.

If Chicago wins any of their remaining 2 games we have no shot, I think.
Redskins could win the division, we beat Dallas, and have Saints, Dallas, and Giants all finish with 8 losses and we all would split head to heads. I don't know what the tiebreak is there.
Redskins could also lose 2 more games get to 8 losses, Giants win division, and have the above tiebreak situation, Saints, Dallas, Redskins with 8 losses. I know the Saints get in the playoffs in that scenario.

2 of the saints losses are to AFC teams.
We'd finish 6-6 in conference.
New York would be 7-5.
Dallas would be 5-7.
Basically, we're shite out of luck.

So we're rooting for Wash to win out and Giants to lose out basiclly?

Well the Giants got rolled today. 
Posted on 12/16/12 at 3:26 pm to Brettesaurus Rex
Giants losing out wouldn't really help us. Their conference record is better than ours, and they beat us head-to-head.
We need New York to win the division and Washington to lose out I'm pretty sure. We'd hold a three-way tie-breaker between, say, Dallas and Washington, if Dallas beats Washington.

I think we have 2 chances to get in:
If Dallas and Giants both finish 8-8 with Dallas beating the Redskins, the Redskins win the division at 9-7, the Saints get in as the 6th seed over the Giants and Dallas.
So Giants losing out, but Redskins winning the division
OR

We would still need Chicago to lose out though.

Chicago plays @Arizona and @Detroit
I can see Detroit winning, in fact I'll pick them in that one, but Arizona is so bad.

quick question maybe you can clear up, but if we finish at 8-8, and so does washington, how do we go in ahead of them? They won the head to head with us. Isn't that the first tie-breaker?

Three or More Clubs (Note: If two clubs remain tied after third or other clubs are eliminated, tie breaker reverts to step 1 of applicable two-club format.) 1. Apply division tie breaker to eliminate all but the highest ranked club in each division prior to proceeding to step 2. The original seeding within a division upon application of the division tie breaker remains the same for all subsequent applications of the procedure that are necessary to identify the three Wild-Card participants

We'd have to beat Dallas I believe

If you are listening to post game on WWL don't listen to that hack Bellevia. Saints will NOT be eliminated with a Seattle win
Posted on 12/16/12 at 3:48 pm to purplepylon
Yes don't know WTF Deke is talking about
Posted on 12/16/12 at 3:50 pm to purplepylon
Yeah because at this point Seattle should just win out and take that first WC spot. That would help more than anythjng
Posted on 12/16/12 at 3:50 pm to 3HourTour
Only way we go to sleep tonight without a chance at the playoffs is if Dallas beats Pittsburgh.
Posted on 12/16/12 at 3:51 pm to purplepylon
Wait now we want Dallas to win? If they win today and then beat the Skins the last week they'd get to 9 and eliminate us
Posted on 12/16/12 at 3:52 pm to Brettesaurus Rex
Sorry I confused you. A Dallas win eliminates us
Posted on 12/16/12 at 3:53 pm to Brettesaurus Rex
We want Pitt to win

Yeah I just emailed him that he needs to correct himself on air

It goes to division record between the two tied teams from the east. Once one is knocked out, then it would be head-to-head between the remaining team and the Saints. The Saints record in the South has no influence.
