post #249 proves that you dont have to beat playoff teams in the regular season to win in the playoffs.

I already acknowledged that. You still miss the point. Both examples he gave, the teams that went on to win got hot at the end of the season. That was his point.

Just because people acknowledge a point is true does not mean that was their point.

--No, but you do have to be kicking ass to finish the regular season.

Since 2014 all sixteen SB teams either won their last two regular season games or three of their last four.

I think we can get in at 9-7-1 beating the Giants and Cle to get into the playoffs. Beating two non-playoff teams. Then play Min, tampa, or 49rrs and actually win a playoff game. Or we could get Seattle. If that happens, we would only have beaten one playoff team in the regular season which was the Eagles. Against it doesn't matter how you get in. I think we have a good shot beating one of those teams in the playoffs.

IMO we have to beat the Giants to get into the playoffs. Plus, the 49ers without Grap helps out too.
I think what other people are saying is that if you lose to the Giants, 49ers and Cowboys, but beat the Browns, and slip in at 8-8-1 because the Niners or Seahawks collapse, there's no joy in making the playoffs that way because you'll almost certainly get rolled in the first round.

Of course you have to beat playoff teams to win in the playoffs. Are you going to beat non playoff teams in the playoffs?

We beat the giants and win one more, we should be in. We lose to the giants and then we probably have to win out to get in.

Wouldn't we want the Bucs to lose
Nah, we want the Bucs to win, I don't see Atlanta catching us, so Tampa probably wins the division. We could be fighting with SF for a wildcard.

I think both Tampa and SF get in so that game is not that big of a deal to me.

Vikings and Eagles wins would be huge for us.

If the Panthers can upset Seattle that's big for us.

Patriots beat Arizona tomorrow probably ends the Cards season.

Well we play the 49ers so that right there will be who gets in us or them and the 49ers also play the Seahawks another team we are rooting against for the playoffs

Rooting against:

Seahawks
49ers
Giants
Lions

If Cards run the table they probably keep us out. Just keep an eye on AZ. Don't see that happening, but keep an eye on them.

I guess it doesn't really matter for Tampa Bay they win their division they are in no matter what but the Seahawks and the 49ers are the 2 main ones we should be concerned about with Detroit not too far behind if the Vikings lose to them

Vikings choking and the rest of Detroit's schedule is not too difficult major concern for Washington

According to dean losing to the lions , a contender , doesn’t mean anything
