I haven't looked for a week or so, but last time I plugged everything in, the Vikings could get the 1 Seed if they won out. If you're correct, then I feel a fraction better and will root for the Vikings in the final game. 

Insane that every body ruled the Vikings out with early season injuries.  They’re scary

Is Landon seriously hurt or just cautionary?

He seemed to be having conversations and didn't seem to worried on the sideline.

The Vikings do get it if they win out.  Fortunately for us they have two tough games coming up after this week.

I'm guessing Detroit holds the tie break over us due to conference record?

I beleive we hold the TB 

This is a complete team on all sides.  I'm so happy.  Let's finish this strong D.

Why not tush push with Barkley?

I don't think you want to direct snap to a guy who doesn't get direct snaps often. 

It's not like Hurts is bad at them.

Vikings lost to Lions and Rams. We beat the Rams, thats the tie breaker with them. Just like we needed lions to lose to GB. Maybe the vikings will do us a solid week 18?

Nah they aren’t scary. The scariest thing about them is you wouldn’t want your season to end to them. But hey they have a chance at the #1 seed.

Oh I don't know how far conference record is down on the list because we have 2 conference losses. They have 1

We don't. We have 2 NFC losses. Lions have 1.

No they do I think bud. Their conference record is better by 1 game.

We don't. Lions have the tiebreaker bc we lost 2 games in the conference 

I think today might cost Barkley the record

I do not want to see a divisional team in the playoffs.

I posted this in the seeding thread

 

I ran the predictor on ESPN with the Lions, Vikings and Eagles. If the Lions lose to the Vikings in the last week but win all remaining games they finish the 1 seed

1st Seed - Detroit
NFC North Champ (Wins tie break over Minnesota based on best win percentage in common games.)
Wins tie break over Philadelphia based on strength of victory.

If the Lions lose to the Bills and the Vikings win, the Vikings are the 1 seed

1st Seed - Minnesota
NFC North Champ
Wins tie break over Philadelphia based on strength of victory.

Assuming the Eagles win out, we would need the Lions to lose to the Bills, the Vikings to lose to one of the Packers/Seahawks and the Vikes to beat Detroit. They both finish with 14-3 records compared to the Eagles 15-2.

The Eagles can afford to drop their next 2 games, as long as they beat the Cowboys and Giants they will be the 2 seed. 

I swear, I hate the kickoffs now. 

10 yard gain.

Damn could have been picked.

Gain of 6.

Keep the pedal down! Don't let up
