Right now it’s looking like 3 teams for 2 spots

Chris684 : 11/27/2022 8:12 pm
With Dallas likely sitting pretty in that 5 seed playing at the ugly NFC South winner.

NYG- Was, Philly, @Was, @ Vikings, Colts, @Philly

Was- @NYG, NYG, @49ers, Browns, Cowboys

Seattle- @Rams, Panthers, 49ers, @KC, Jets, Rams

My reaction when I look at these schedules is this. NYG will have its work cut out, but their destiny is in their own hands in that if they can take 2 from Wash they can put a stranglehold on one of those spots. Root for the 49ers down the stretch here. They can really help us out. What is Stafford’s injury status? We can really use him starting next week.

Getting the 7 seed might actually be more advantageous by the way. I have a hunch the 7 seed is going to Minnesota while the 6 seed might have the toughest opening draw (especially if it’s Wash or NYG going cross country to play the 49ers).

If the Giants split with Washington and both go 9-8, the Giants lose the tiebreaker

Thats how the schedule worked out. They've had to play a lot of games getting banged up to get to their bye.

Put up or shut up for Daniel Jones.

With 2 games against the bad Rams team, and vs Panthers plus head to head might be an issue

Stafford got food poisoning from eating all that Little Ceasers pizza
Why are we pulling for Niners?  
Pepe LePugh : 11/27/2022 8:54 pm : link
Seattle has head to head win over us. Isn’t it better for them to win their division so we’re not competing against them for WC?
Simple, just beat Washington twice and it's essentially over.

I suppose you’re not wrong. I just think the 49ers are closer to the top of the conference than the bottom. I think they’re going to take control of the NFC West.

Niners are closer to the two seed then a WC team. I think there is a good chance they are two seed and Minnesota 3 seed. Minnesota cannot play D, I see them dropping a few down the stretch.
If we can't beat the better teams now

We won't win in the playoffs if we get there.

Time for Jones and Barkley to come up big or go home and play for someone else next year.

Washington schedule is not easy

If we split with them, beat Indy, win one of three of Minny, Philly home and home (last game might not mean much to Philly) we will be at 10

Then you'd have to compete with the Niners.
Hard to see Seattle losing games  
OBJ_AllDay : 11/28/2022 9:59 am : link
other than to the 49ers and Chiefs. Other teams on their schedule are Rams twice, Jets at home and Panthers at home. That puts Seattle at 10-7.

I think right now it is a two team race to the last playoff spot - between Washington and the Giants.
Giants need  
AcesUp : 11/28/2022 10:06 am : link
9 wins with a sweep of Washington or 10 wins to get in. It's a longshot otherwise. Safe to say they can't afford to drop this home game.

A lot depends on whether Stafford is shut down for the season.

I also wouldn’t discount the JETs winning in Seattle either. The JETs have a very good defense this year and it appears that White might be a better QB right now then Wilson. And so Seattle also doesn’t have an easy road.

IMO, Washington looks like the best of the three right now. Lastly there’s also a very big chance that three teams from the NFC East could be Wild Cards. That would be a first I believe.
We're in a tough spot right now  
Rudy5757 : 11/28/2022 3:41 pm : link
Division games are big physical games for the most part. If the Giants beat Washington it tough to come backand win against the Colts only to face off again with Washington. Physical games take a toll. With 4 division games down the stretch its going to be tough on the team physically. Im excited to see how they play. I honestly think if we lose Sunday we are out of the playoffs. The physical and mental toll will be hard to recover. Can Daboll bring this team together after 2 bad losses? If he pulls 4-2 down the stretch he's a lock for Coach of the year, 3-3 he may get it, 2-4 no chance and most likely out of the playoffs.

With the loss of Cooper Kupp and now Allen Robinson, plus Higbee has a knee injury also that's the top three receiving threats gone. Plus a banged up online, and horrible record, you could go on. LA is done.

The Rams will probably pack it in and sit Stafford the remainder of the year.

Would be, but only because they now let 7 teams in. Second year for that I believe.

Before that, only could have 2 wild card teams (and four division winners).
