Bright Side: Tiebreakers No Longer Matter

DaddyM89 : 12/4/2022 5:02 pm
Barring some unseen ties going forward outside of the Commanders tiebreakers no longer matter (in which we lost virtually every tiebreaker against every team in the NFC). So the tie was useful in that sense. Obviously infuriating that we didn't put it away though.
In all liklihood

The Giants and Washington square off with 7-5-1 records in two weeks. The winner will have a two game lead on the other with 3 games left to play.
Beating WAS & IND *should* be good for playoffs

The tie helps in a 9-8 tiebreak, hurts with 10-7.

10-7 is better than 9-7-1.
The Lions could actually be a threat to run the table

and get to 10-7. So we're pulling for Vikes and Jets the next two weeks.
I worded that poorly

Basically 9 wins is good enough if the Seahawks go 9-8. But if the Giants only win 9, they’d lose out of another team won 10.
ah okay yeah

that makes sense. But at least we don't have to worry about losing tiebreakers to Seahawks or lions now.

I’ve been high on the Lions all year. They’re a team that can beat anyone (and lose to anyone). They could cause chaos in the playoffs if they get in.
