Even when we win it turns out to be a bad week as both the Seahawks and Rams won. We needed the Cards to beat the Seahawks. And I never expected the Rams to beat the Bills.
Is there an official playoff path somewhere?
I thought we wanted AZ to lose today b/c the rest of their schedule is easier
AZ gets NE (W) CAR (W) LA and SF
We HAVE to beat AZ to stay alive so I'm assuming that is a loss for them
If AZ beats LA then AZ is 9-8....which is fine
SEA has GB (L) MIN (L) CHI (W) LA (L)
SEA ends at 9-8 unless Chicago helps us out
LA has 49ers (L) NYJ (W) AZ (L) SEA (W)
End at 9-8
However...LA winning today sucked b/c it means there is no room for error....they can spike and jump to 10 wins now...maybe the Jets will save our ass here
49ers have LA MIA DET AZ
If we win all 4 we end up 10-7
However...if we lose to DET we end up in a log jam tie at 9-8 and need the tie breakers to win the west
I "think" last I saw we would have tie breakers if all the NFC west teams end up 3-3 in conference but I can't remember
We would have to beat Detroit and that's prob not happening. Not impossible though..
Just did the playoff scenario
If all 4 teams end up at 9-8 with outcomes as I laid out the 49ers win the CONFERENCE tiebreaker
So the 49ers can take the NFC West even with a loss to DET....Dr Strange odds but still a chance
If we are going to do anything in the playoffs, we have to win out.
If we get some players back, we are still a team that no one will want to play.
Come on man. I'd argue we ARE the team that most other teams want to play. Having Greenlaw back doesn't make us world beaters…
