Howie has always been good at finding loopholes like this. I'd be surprised if the whole team doesn't test every Monday

We get a bye-week and they don't. Sweet.

If we lose to Dallas and go one and done are we looking at pick 18?

It is easier to get a top 10 pick right than one in the 20's.  See Devonta Smith vs Jalen Reagor.

 

What don't you understand about the Eagles would not have gotten a top 10 pick if they lost this past Sunday and then lost in the final week?  You were arguing for pages last week why you wanted the Eagles to lose these final two weeks and miss the playoffs.

I never said I wanted them to lose the last two weeks.  I have constantly said that beating these bottom feeders since week 8 is the issue.

If that is the case then we want the Niners to make the playoffs and also be one and done? Niners have a tie break with us but we have the tie break with the Saints.....not sure how the draft seeding will work.

With the last afc wildcard likely being raiders or chargers who already have 9 wins, yes.

To be fair, that quote doesn't actually say the starters won't be resting... maybe they will also conveniently come down with Covid.  Then you aren't resting starters, but are merely following protocols.

Draft order goes by record and then SOS. Tie breakers don’t matter.

Lowest pick for playoff teams is 19.

Would be 19th, but 20th may be more likely. Saints are probably going to be the 7th seed unless they lose to the Falcons or the 49ers beat the Rams.

Stop wasting your time. We are slowly getting to the point where people don't even bother with him. When it happens, he'll drift away or he'll continue to waste his time trolling on a forum.

Think about it. He was permanently banned and rather than change or try to improve, he has the same schtick he always has. Let it go buddy.

If Saints make playoffs, Eagles are #6.  If 49ers make playoffs, Eagles are #7.  

 

Draft order is not affected by playoff tiebreakers, but by record, and then SOS.  First 18 spots are determined... then the last 14 spots are based on how far you go, then the ties are broken by record, then by SOS same as the rest.

Yeah, I didn’t think it through when I did 32-14.

You were arguing for pages just last week in this blog over the value of the Eagles missing the playoffs instead of making it.  The Eagles would not have a top 10 pick of they lost this past Saturday and then lost again in week 18, yet you kept arguing for them to lose instead of make the playoffs.

It’s not just RTK, though.   

I know and I agree, but he's one of the main culprits.

Saints have a better SOS 

So ours will either 19 or 20? Sweet, puts us in range for one of the CB1 prospects, meaning we can use MIA's pick on the D-Line.

Should have added it goes by blocks of eliminated teams too for playoff contenders

Here is a link to my posts, starting on page 5.  I scanned and did not find any post saying that at all.  Find the post, it is quite easy if I really said it.

Not sure if this was posted:

 

Anyway, if it's the Bucs I'm guessing it'll likely be a Saturday night game? Brady is going to be a night game because it's Brady, but the Eagles matchup likely makes it not big enough for Sunday evening.

If it's Eagles/Rams feels like it'll get one of the lesser slots. Probably Saturday 4:15 or Sunday 4:15. I would say Sunday at 1:00, but would they put a west coast team on at 1?

Saturday will be a nice opportunity for McPhearson, Gowan, Vincent or one of our other 15 reserve cornerbacks to play.

There’s no reason for Nelson or Slay to play.  

You all can thank me later...

In other words, we are seeded ahead of the Saints in the playoffs because of H2H.

But if we both lose in the WC round, we would pick before them because of SOS.
