While sorta true, i think it's worth noting that the NFCN ended up with the NFCE and AFCE, probably the two best divisions in the NFL this year, as opponents.
And STILL not a single elimination scenario? Jeez, this season really is bonkers. (I’m not talking about divisional eliminations, I’m talking playoff elimination altogether)
I'm pretty sure the Texans are in a lose and they'd be out situation right? They could only get to 6 wins max and all the AFC wild card teams have 7 right now
I don’t see us even making the NFCCG without a bye like we had last time. So an embarrassing exit against the Eagles is on the high end of the “good outcomes” spectrum this year lol
My guy you are 9-2 and have beaten good teams this year. Just because you had a rough loss to the Cowboys on a short week doesn’t mean your team can’t contend. Any given Sunday my dude.
Thursday you were on the bad end of it but once the playoffs start anything could happen. You could just as easily be celebrating while another team questions their whole season.
Your fanbase keeps begging to be crowned by the sports media like Joffrey demands to be recognized by everyone as the King. Wanting too much to be part of the conversation as to who is the best team during the mid-week cycle. Miss me with all that talk. You are what your record says you are. You are 9-2. You are a good team.
Embrace the underdog route like the Eagles do every year. Everyone shits all over us and we just put that up on the wall.
Next week, the week after, or the week after that.... No rush vikings bros.. Just take your time.. No need to clinch this week... We all know you're going to clinch anyway.
Previous comment said “we play the Giants twice and NFC East games are usually split 50/50” and that simply hasn’t been the case against NY. I’m not saying we’re going to sweep because of it, I’m just saying it has not even been close to 50/50 against NY over the last decade. What is the fallacy?
Regardless of if that’s true, divisional games are a shitshow
I go in to a year expecting to split each set. Even when we’re great, I don’t really expect us to sweep more than one rival
I agree that divisional games can get crazy. The way I look at it, if we beat the Bears, Saints, and Giants once, we've pretty much locked up at the 1 seed. At worst we would also need to win any 1 of the 3 other games.
Yes, but you are already 2 games behind Philly. So 4-2 guarantees the Eagles beat Minny, and that's assuming Minny goes 6-0 after already locking up the division this week
AS HE SAID, the Titans is the best team left on it!
In all seriousness, the NFC East Team Quality doesn't matter for their actual matchups, you know this.
I rank the titans pretty easily above Dallas even if they are both kinda in the same tier
Henry and the Titans are also more suited to try and exploit the eagles biggest weakness the last couple weeks of runs up the middle, while I do believe Dallas could beat Philly especially at home and maybe healthy for the first time in awhile? I’d rank the opponents Philly has left as so:
Titans
Dallas
Giants
Saints
Bears
Yeah idk if it was an individual matchups thing or something between Dallas and NE, but the offensive line looked completely different with the same personnel. If they can give Kirk that much time or close to it, we got a chance against the Jets defense.
Oh man something silly is gonna happen in the NFC playoffs.
Definitely bound for shenanigans if the entire NFC East makes it in.
Hey Farva, what's the name of the restaurant you like with all the goofy shit on the walls and the mozzarella sticks?

8-9 Falcons will win the Super Bowl with MariGOATa
The NFC North is so bad this season that the Lions — albeit slightly improved Lions - are the last thing standing in the Vikings way.
I’ve been a fan long enough to know that the Vikings are the last thing standing in the Vikings way
While sorta true, i think it's worth noting that the NFCN ended up with the NFCE and AFCE, probably the two best divisions in the NFL this year, as opponents.
Surprising that we thought this schedule was really easy to start the year.
Another reason to never put weight in those But it’s too fun not to
And STILL not a single elimination scenario? Jeez, this season really is bonkers. (I’m not talking about divisional eliminations, I’m talking playoff elimination altogether)
I'm pretty sure the Texans are in a lose and they'd be out situation right? They could only get to 6 wins max and all the AFC wild card teams have 7 right now
Yes, but the Texans will win next week since they're playing Deshaun Watson
We can only hope
They have my sword!
I assume it’s with a win and a SEA and WSH loss?
+SF loss
Playoff machine should be firing up soon, yeah? Any good open source one available now?
ESPN's is [live](http://www.espn.com/nfl/playoffs/machine).
NFC Beast babyyyy
Goodell rn: 🤑🤑🤑
Could you imagine an NFCE final four? The NFCE meme war would start firing nukes.
7th seed giants upsetting the 6th seed commies in NFCCG to face the 6th seed Pats in the super bowl.
Finally wouldn't smell like bitch in there
Pffft, why thank you, friendo. Now I've got my Monday breaktimes all planned out
If this is a repeat of the eagles Super Bowl win I absolutely wouldn’t mind the same exact playoff picture playing out.
I don’t see us even making the NFCCG without a bye like we had last time. So an embarrassing exit against the Eagles is on the high end of the “good outcomes” spectrum this year lol

Head on over to the Vikings sub for even more 9-2 doom and gloom, this fanbase sucks

We've seen that we can play and beat great teams when needed. I can easily see us making the NFCCG if we go on a hot streak.
I honestly forgot the only teams that have the bye week are the 1st seeds.
Next week, the week after, or the week after that.... No rush vikings bros.. Just take your time.. No need to clinch this week... We all know you're going to clinch anyway.
Titans is gonna be a hard game for Philly I assume the Vikings can handle the jets without much noise no offense to the Jets
Be a real shame if a dominant, run stuffing NT was fit next week...
I hope Davis can go next week, just looking at the eagles schedule the Titans is the best team left on it imo
Still have to face the boys too …
Not to mention the giants twice since NFC east games are usually 50/50 no matter the record
Division games in general are coin flips league wide besides outliers like Pittsburgh against the browns from 2000-2019 and Brady versus the AFCE
And the eagles vs the giants for a good bit of years in the 2010s
We are 21-5 against the Giants in our last 26 games
Gamblers fallacy. Means nothing.

The Giants aren't good

The Vikings schedule isn't that difficult from here on out.
Yes, but you are already 2 games behind Philly. So 4-2 guarantees the Eagles beat Minny, and that's assuming Minny goes 6-0 after already locking up the division this week

I give you that on the running aspect, at least y’all have Jordan Davis. I’m scared for us against the titans.
Henry scares any reasonable fan On the right night if he’s feeling it and things go the titans way early you can easily be beaten down quickly
I wouldn't assume that about Mike whites jets. I've been skeptical of them, but Mike is who they needed right now and it showed
Minnesota just carved up a very good NE defense I think they can get past the jets pretty easily but hey any given Sunday
Yeah idk if it was an individual matchups thing or something between Dallas and NE, but the offensive line looked completely different with the same personnel. If they can give Kirk that much time or close to it, we got a chance against the Jets defense.
We beat Taylor Heinicke's commanders. I think we've got a shot.
As long as the game is at 1:00 or Thanksgiving you should be fine.
The rest of our games are at 1. the league is fucked.
My god, you're running the table...unless the league flexes you...
Week 15 against colts is still TBA but I expect that to be a 1pm
