Playoff Reality Check

[krazy2k]

After snatching defeat from the jaws of victory against the Vikings, Arizona now sits on the outside looking in for a playoff spot - currently in 9th position for the 7 slots. According to nfl.com, Cards have a 38% chance of making the playoffs as of today. I think that is actually pretty generous given the history of "2nd half of season" collapses. Perhaps KM, MHJ, and the improving defense can at least get the Cards into the dance this year. Time will tell.

We have an easy remaining schedule (on paper) and a win next week puts us right back in the driver seat of the division.

If we can beat the Seahawks next week, we have a good chance at winning the division. https://www.tankathon.com/nfl/remaining_schedule_strength

If that's your reality dude you need to go take a bong rip.

We are still in charge of our destiny and control the division....unless one of the other teams suddenly takes a big leap.

Niners are out.
Lambs won't likely survive their remaining opponents.
Hags are the biggest threat. But it's only a matter of time before Geno Geno's and they come up short...us curb stomping them at home goes a long way towards applying the needed pressure for that to happen.

For us it's simple. Beat the hags at home...beat the teams we should beat...then end the season with two division games that set the nfcwest pecking order for the next decade.

If we win next week, who has the tie breaker for the division?

We would move ahead of Seattle as we would have the better division record.
