    The Jets, Bengals, and Chargers have all done something of late. You’re up, Jaguars.

    If we win out, we are in the playoffs, and at least the 6-seed. Could even be the 5-seed if TB then loses at least once.

    Wild Card Tie-Breaker Scenarios

    Yes, Vikings eliminated and Saints clinch the South. Fewer thing needed should we hope to get in at 8-8. If we go 0-2, Chicago would have to lose both. No other help needed. With the Saints no longer a wild-card contender, our strength-of-victory tie-breaker scenario with them at 10-6 is off...

    Not so fast! TB and LA haven’t clinched yet. Sure, they’re close, but we DO have other ways in should CHI go 2-0 and we drop one.

    So very true.

    That is correct. A Rams win and GB loss keeps LA within a game of the Packers, with tie-breaker on conference record. Yes, either a GB loss or SEA win this weekend keeps the 1-seed in play for Week 17.

    I understand your point, and the above is true. However, with Seattle playing the Rams this weekend, we were already guaranteed of at least one team (SEA/LA winner) keeping GB honest against CHI should they lose to TEN. The Saints didn’t change that.

    I edited my prior post to include “at a minimum” the winner of SEA/LA could catch GB should the Packers lose to TEN. NO with a win, could catch them as well, but not needed as far as the Cardinals are concerned, since the SEA/LA outcome would take care of it.

    True, if the Packers lose to TEN, at a minimum the winner of SEA/LA could still catch them. If SEA/LA draw, then SEA could still catch them.

    A win by NO is obviously important for the Saints’ scenarios, but the point is that as far as it concerns the Cardinals (in terms of forcing GB to play its starters against Chicago), a Saints win doesn’t change anything. Should the Saints hang on to win, I don’t want for people to think we’re...

    AZfaninMN has it correct. Wins by NO and GB, but a loss by SEA still clinches the 1-seed for GB. 1-on-1, GB beats NO in a tie, and in that scenario the Saints would be the only team that could match their 12 wins. Should GB beat TEN, they would lose to SEA in a 1-on-1 tie-breaker, but SEA...

    Pottsville curse- 1925 championship.

    Not entirely. In the 1920s and early ‘30s, there was about a dozen African-American players in the NFL, at least three of whom played for the Cardinals, including recent HOF inductee Duke Slater. There is amazing footage of the Cardinals (not mine) on YouTube from that era, giving a glimpse of...

    Pottsville curse- 1925 championship.

    Nope. Never. Still doesn't explain the 1947 championship. I've read elsewhere that the Cardinals didn't "claim" the 1925 title until the 1960s when Bill Bidwill's older brother (then, co-owner) made some comment about the hick-town of Pottsville, something about not giving up the title, or...

    Wild Card Tie-Breaker Scenarios

    It's kind of an unfortunate situation! One-on-one, we'd beat Seattle (division 4-2 vs 2-4). One-on-one, we'd beat Los Angeles (division 4-2 vs 3-3). Three-way tie: we'd come in second. :mad: Oh well, at least we would be guaranteed, at worst, the 6-seed, with a chance at the 5-seed depending...

    Wild Card Tie-Breaker Scenarios

    No, we cannot win the West. If we won out and Seattle lost out, the Rams would also be 10-6 (beating Seattle and losing to us). In the 3-way tie, the Rams would be 3-1 head-to-head, we would be 2-2, Seattle would be 1-3. Thus, the Rams would win the division. The tie-breaker would start over...

    Wild Card Tie-Breaker Scenarios

    Thanks! I see now where you have it. There are a few additional caveats, however! What did GB do against Tennessee? If the Packers lost, then the Rams would still have a shot at the 1-seed. I’m certain they would move the GB-CHI game to the late slot. If the Packers won, then (coupled with...

    Wild Card Tie-Breaker Scenarios

    Even if we lose to SF, we would still be able to pass the Rams provided they lose to SEA. At 9-7, we would beat the Rams in a tie. At 10-6, we beat the Rams 1-on-1 but not in a 3-way tie with Seattle (we would be second place in the West, ahead of Seattle).

    Wild Card Tie-Breaker Scenarios

    Seahawks would clinch the West. However, regardless of what TB does, the Rams could still get the coveted 5-seed. In that scenario, so could we.

    Wild Card Tie-Breaker Scenarios

    On a side note, if we’re worrying about the Rams’ effort in Week 17, the Rams would clinch at least a playoff spot in Week 16 with any of the following: LA over SEA JAX over CHI ARI over SF Yes, an Arizona WIN would clinch it for the Rams.

    Wild Card Tie-Breaker Scenarios

    I think this summarizes it pretty well. I would only say SEA over LA is better. A Seattle win gives us insurance should GB then beat Tennessee later that night, in forcing the Packers to have to play hard against Chicago. The New Orleans win just eliminates the Vikings and gives us options in...

    Wild Card Tie-Breaker Scenarios

    Just a point of clarification: A Saints win alone does NOT force GB to play their starters in Week 17. If GB beats TEN, then the only way to prevent their clinching the 1-seed this week would be for Seattle to beat the Rams. That would keep Seattle alive for the 1-seed. Technically, it would...

    Wild Card Tie-Breaker Scenarios

    Also: If the Cardinals win out to go 10-6, we’d be no worse than the 6-seed, catching either LA or SEA for second-place in the West. If TB then loses at least once, we’d be the 5-seed (or could instead still catch New Orleans as a wild-card, though that is a longer-shot).
  23. TheCardinal

    Wild Card Tie-Breaker Scenarios

    Yes. The tie-breakers actually get a bit messy should GB lose to TEN, but YES, that is the bottom line. Green Bay loss OR Seattle win, in Week 16, to force an effort by GB in Week 17.

    Wild Card Tie-Breaker Scenarios

    Interestingly, the Rams' only path to MISS the playoffs would be for: LAR with 2 losses (9-7) TB wins at least once (at least 10 wins) CHI wins both games (9-7) ARI finishes EXACTLY at 9-7 with loss to SF and win to LAR With the 9-7 tie (CHI/ARI/LAR), we would be ahead of the Rams, covering...

    Wild Card Tie-Breaker Scenarios

    Should the Cardinals lose both remaining games, our only path to the playoffs would be: CHI loses both (JAX/GB) MIN loses at least once (either NO/DET) That's it, nothing fancy left here. We'd lose all tie-breakers at 8-8.
