That's nice. But it seems like we are headed for the #5 or #6 seed when this season could have been so much more.

Always gotta bring the negativity...

That's not my understanding of how it works. I believe it's final standings of these teams not if you beat them or not. In which case NO and ATL are not a factor because they are common opponents.

Let's assume we lose to the Rams and beat the Seahawks (and the Seahawks beat the Cardinals), I believe the tiebreaker would go like this:

Two Clubs

1. Head-to-head (best won-lost-tied percentage in games between the clubs). 49ers and Seahawks TIED 1-1, move to 2
2. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the division. 49ers and Seahawks TIED 4-2, move to 3
3. Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games. 49ers and Seahawks TIED 10-4, move to 4
4. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the conference. 49ers and Seahawks TIED 9-3, move to 5
5. Strength of victory. 49ers and Seahawks beat the same teams, except 49ers beat GB, NO and Washington and the Seahawks beat Philly, Minn and ATL. The Win-Loss record between these two sets of teams is the tiebreaker
6. Strength of schedule. IRRELEVANT, see above (assuming that GB, NO and Washington combined don't have the same record as Philly, Minn and ATL combined, in which case strength of schedule comes into play).
7. Best combined ranking among conference teams in points scored and points allowed.
8. Best combined ranking among all teams in points scored and points allowed.
9. Best net points in common games.
10. Best net points in all games.
11. Best net touchdowns in all games.
12. Coin toss

Kind of feels like backing into the playoffs at this point. I'll say we've acomplished something if we win out and get #1

If everyone plays that can play and we get guys back from injury, what is our best Starting 22 guys for the playoffs?

Basically today's lineup + Sherman, Tartt and Ford (+ Williams as slot CB).

Every other starter lost is on IR.
