The How Many Times Can Ram Be Wrong Thread

The Giants cannot win their division and can therefore ONLY qualify as a wildcard. In order for that to happen, they have to be one of the 2 best non-division winners in the NFC. At a best-case 8-8, that won't happen.

Of course, I look forward to what dumbass excuse he makes up next to attempt to discredit my entire post breaking down the NFC East and the wild card candidates. Apparently his his dream world none of these wild card contenders play each other, so everyone not named the New York Giants can magically lose every remaining game, even when they play each other. I look forward to watching Dallas/Philadelphia and Seattle/San Francisco all discovering some way to both lose the same game. It'll be the biggest discovery in human history!

Yeah, I know I sure can't WAIT for that Titans-Jaguars game, nor that Vikings-Dolphins game, nor that Giants-Rams game, nor that Jaguars-Texans game, nor that Jets-Dolphins game. :eyeroll:

If the 49ers finish 10-6 or better, And Seattle is 10-6 or 9-7, that eliminates the Giants right there. SF (10-6) wins the West, Seattle (10-6 or 9-7) claims one wildcard slot and Arizona (at worst 9-7) claims the second wildcard slot. The Giants, at 8-8, cannot get into the playoffs except through a wildcard slot. Dallas already has 8 wins and has won both games they played against the Giants, so at absolute best, the Giants finish second to the Cowboys, even if both finish 8-8. And even in that case, the Eagles win the division since they will have beaten Dallas to get 9 or more wins. My god you really are dense. :fp:

interesting...LOL this is fantastic !

it appears the Cards could make the playoffs as a 5th seed and they are the ones who help the Giants get in at 6th. In that case the Cards do make the playoffs but of course they wont be a threat once in.( host cities don't make it into SBs and that's all I care about). I wonder what combination of games is i'm missing that changes that ?

NFC Tiebreakers
1st Seed - Dallas
NFC East Champ
Wins tie break over Green Bay based on best win percentage in common games.
4th Seed - Atlanta
NFC South Champ (Wins tie break over New Orleans based on head-to-head win percentage.)
6th Seed - NY Giants
Wins tie break over St. Louis based on head-to-head win percentage. Division tie break was initially used to eliminate Philadelphia (NY Giants wins tie break over Philadelphia based on best win percentage in division games). Division tie break was initially used to eliminate Seattle (St. Louis wins tie break over Seattle based on head-to-head win percentage).

I guess you forgot that Philadelphia and Seattle play in week 14. If Seattle wins, they become an 8 win team (even losing every other game) and get in ahead of the Giants due to head to head tiebreaker), and if Philadelphia wins, they reach 9 wins and get in ahead of the Giants due to having more wins (just as Dallas gets in ahead of the Giants regardless due to a 2-0 head to head record against the Giants. IT's IMPOSSIBLE. Damn you're dense!

what you are trying to say is you hope the bet you made is right this time.

That makes no sense. I picked the Giants to lose in my Survival pool two weeks in a row and was correct.

Just trying to recreate some absurd combination of wins and losses just based on those two photos, and being unable to, proves that the Giants are done. The only way is for some utterly impossible combination of wins and losses that has to happen EXACTLY in each of the next 5 weeks for them to have any hope. Keep dreaming sock lover.

oh,..but the Bills really can go to 4 SBs in a row and lose them,right ?
last year was 'why not us?" this year its " the improbable is not impossible"

any time something out of the ordinary does happen you look at the shiny NFL marble rolling past and just shrug and say "anything can happen" (("parity")), because the NFL told me it could. You make an excuse for all the weird fantastic crap but try to then say something cant happen ? make up your mind.
you said theres no way and I just showed you it can. Now its " LOL theres no way that happens"... it could and that's all the NFL needs to reel you in.

Why do you keep bringing up the Bills? That was 20 years ago. The league doesn't even have the same rules as they do now.

Nah, it'll be the Chiefs, since, you know, Kansas City and St. Louis are practically on top of each other.

I love how the NFL has that NFC South playing out. I bet they are shooting for a 7-9 or better yet 6-10 winner.

Then you can twist that around some too as to why they want that to happen so they can eliminate division winners locking a playoff spot. Or better yet reducing the teams to get away from the 4 current divisions so this doesn't happen again.
