    Play off scenario

    If the 49ers win out and we don't win another game, they would indeed be ahead of us on division record (SF 3-3, ARI 2-4). SEA would win the West at 10 or 11 wins, while we would be in third place. We might also waste our tie-breaker edge against DET because we would have to wait behind SF in...

    Week 15 Clinching Scenarios

    More fun with math. . . It looks like the NFL released the official Week 15 clinching scenarios. ARI win + DAL/PHI non-tie or ARI win + DET loss + GB win/tie or ARI win + DET loss + ARI clinches SOV tie-breaker over GB However, I would argue that with a DET loss, we would have already...

    Play off scenario

    We would still need the 49ers to lose once, to either Seattle or San Diego.

    Week 15 Clinching Scenarios

    You're welcome! It's my pleasure to work through these scenarios, and always more fun for clinching possibilities in Week 15 than our usual elimination scenarios. The news may be even better than in the original post. Earlier I said that an ARI win + DAL loss clinches playoff spot. Dallas...

    Week 15 Clinching Scenarios

    Wow, that site is intense about their scenarios! I read through them and they look consistent with my original post with one exception (although I didn't go through the ones requiring a tie). The only one which I cannot be sure of is Case#7 for the 6-seed. They say ARI win + DET loss + SEA...

    Play off scenario

    Throw in any Arizona win, and we're good, even without the DAL-IND game. If the Cardinals lose all three, we should still be good with those two DAL losses, plus one SF loss (at SEA this week, perhaps) and a GB win at BUF (or as long as DET doesn't win the North, with GB at 10-6 with a loss to...

    Week 15 Clinching Scenarios

    In a three-way tie with Dallas and Green Bay, head-to-head wouldn't apply since you'd need one team to sweep to advance or have been swept to be knocked out. It is similar to how the current playoff picture has Seattle in ahead of Dallas even though the Cowboys beat them; Detroit forces a 3-way...

    Week 15 Clinching Scenarios

    I do agree that it would be VERY difficult to miss the playoffs at 11-5, but I do see a couple ways. 1) DAL-PHI tie, then win out, both going 11-4-1, DET wins out (12-4), GB only loses to DET (12-4), SEA beats us and at least one other team (11-5). 2) DAL beats PHI, loses to IND, beats WSH...

    Week 15 Clinching Scenarios

    I'm not sure if I have them all worked out just yet, but this is what I see so far. To clinch at least a wildcard next weekend, any of the following should do: ARI win + DAL loss or ARI win + PHI loss + GB win against BUF (Wk15) or ARI win + GB loss to ATL (Wk14) + DET loss or ARI win + GB...

    Anybody coming to St. Louis

    I'll be there too, section 143, Arizona side. Should the Cardinals win this weekend, and have Detroit, Green Bay, and either San Francisco or Seattle lose, the Thursday night game should be to clinch a playoff berth and fire up the victory cigar.

    Question for those who go to away games

    Been on the road to see almost every NFL team play the Cards (only ones left are pit, balt, hou, sea, sf, sd), and have rarely had any issues. I usually travel alone and am not the most physically imposing figure. I usually wear a jersey or Cards tie/jacket and a goofy white fedora with a Cards...

    We only need to beat Seattle one time

    Within a division, the tie-breaker after h2h is division record, then common games, then conference record. The least important games WITHIN a division tie-breaker are actually the two non-common games (Detroit and Atlanta for us). For wild-card tie-breakers against other divisions, or for...

    Robbed of the Experience

    The NFL Network Rewind does list the game to be shown in the 30-min format, but it is not until later on Tuesday after a couple of earlier batches. Just keep scrolling forward and it should be there.

    Anyone going to the Broncos game?

    On my way, in western Kansas, flags flying high. Should be there in a few hours.

    We Must Be Getting Better

    The Cardinals have played in that new stadium: a pathetic 7-6 loss to the Jets a couple of years ago that I had the pleasure of witnessing firsthand. If memory serves me correct, the Cardinals DID earn a rare victory in old Giants Stadium in our last trip there in 2009.

    The official "Why we will make the playoffs" (the Bud Light Ad) thread

    I'll be wearing my University of South Florida gear, horns and all, the night before, as I'm heading to Peoria for a basketball game against Bradley. We (USF) do share the same stadium with the Bucs, so maybe it'll help. I can't bring myself to wear anything Buccaneer given my distaste for...

    Scenarios - if SF wins tonight are we out?

    Tampa Bay lost to New Orleans earlier this season, 16-14. They had the game all but wrapped up but melted down in the final minute after missing a long FG when they should've probably punted. Too bad. Still will have another shot to help us.

    In order to make the play-offs...

    If we go 10-6, the only team we can catch is Carolina. We would also need San Francisco to NOT finish 10-6. If our loss is to SF, they would have at least 11 wins (and so it wouldn't matter what they do against Atlanta on MNF). However, if our loss is to Seattle (and thus beat SF) we would...

    In order to make the play-offs...

    They're wrong. We would need SF to lose to ATL OR have the CRL/NO loser to lose again in week 17. If not, we would have: 5) NFC SOUTH runner-up 11-5 6) SF 11-5 7) ARI 11-5 Remember, that even though we beat Carolina head-to-head, in a three-way tie, we're out because SF is ahead of us and...

    In order to make the play-offs...

    It depends on which one we win. Yes, if we beat Seattle. If we only beat SF, we would need the 49ers to have beaten ATL to avoid the dreaded 3-way tie with SF & Carolina, which leaves us out.

    In order to make the play-offs...

    At 11-5, we would need either SF to lose to ATL OR loser of CRL/NO to lose again in week 17. At 10-6 with loss to SEA, we would need CRL to lose twice + SF to BEAT ATL. At 10-6 with loss to SF, we would need CRL to lose twice. For a few specific scenarios, in other words... 1) If the...

    Back from Game

    I was impressed with the Cardinals fan turnout. Had Cardinals fans on either side and two more directly behind me. The entire "back-left" corner of the endzone was full of Cards fans. The premature evacuation by the Titans fans was dramatic in its volume, but those who stayed descended into...

    Anybody going to Titan game?

    I'll be at the game. Just arrived in Nashville and will be in the front row, left endzone by the tunnel. Brought my Cardinals flag to unfurl for hopefully many a score in that corner. I'm hearing that the Titans can't give tickets away to this one.

    We need to become HUGE JETS fans this week

    But if Tampa Bay beats SF, the 49ers could ruin our tie-breaker at 10-6 against Carolina. . . it really is tough to know who to root for in that game (a draw would be best). At 10-6 we would need any loss by either CHI/DET + any loss by either DAL/PHI before their week 17 meeting (or a Philly...
