Re: Playoff Positioning: Where we Stand.
I'm so nervous about this Niners/Rams game
Re: Playoff Positioning: Where we Stand.
If Philly beats Dallas next week, I don't see a scenario where we don't play the Eagles (assuming we win). But if Dallas beats them, it looks to me like it all comes down to the Niners/Rams.
Rams win, we are the three seed vs the Niners.
Niners win, we are the two seed vs the Eagles.
If the Rams win we likely get a direct sequel, with the Niners and Rams meeting in round one. While Dallas plays Arizona again after playing this week.
LAME.
Niners win and we get the much more interesting scenarios. Seems like every Bucs fan should be rooting for SF.

Re: Playoff Positioning: Where we Stand.
Here are the scenarios I see:
Bucs win:
They play the Eagles
Bucs lose:
The Rams win - the Bucs play the Eagles
The 49ers win, The Cardinals win - the Bucs are the 3rd seed and play the 49ers
The 49ers win, the Seahawks win - the Bucs are the 4th seed and play the Cardinals
Bucs win:
They play the Eagles
Bucs lose:
The Rams win - the Bucs play the Eagles
The 49ers win, The Cardinals win - the Bucs are the 3rd seed and play the 49ers
The 49ers win, the Seahawks win - the Bucs are the 4th seed and play the Cardinals

So basically pray the Seahawks don’t win13F11B wrote: ↑Mon Jan 03, 2022 12:48 pm Here are the scenarios I see:

We are a tier above the eagles and 49ers. Cards might be trouble.

It only matters if the Buccaneers lose to the Panthers this week.Sdbucs wrote: ↑Mon Jan 03, 2022 12:50 pmSo basically pray the Seahawks don’t win13F11B wrote: ↑Mon Jan 03, 2022 12:48 pm Here are the scenarios I see:

Re: Playoff Positioning: Where we Stand.
If only there was a guide that showed all the possibilities
Re: Playoff Positioning: Where we Stand.
Must have been something like that. Too many scenarios. You are correct that I did not account for the change in the Cowboys v. Eagles game.

Re: Playoff Positioning: Where we Stand.
We win or lose the SB this year for the same reason as last year......
How well the DEFENSE plays.
Hopefully Bowles can use Brown's departure to their advantage in terms of motivation, preparation and so on.

Re: Playoff Positioning: Where we Stand.
So we have win five games instead of four to keep this 'winning streak' extending into next year...
I can live with that.
I can live with that.

Re: Playoff Positioning: Where we Stand.
Quite a few teams in contention for the NFC South. Even teams not in the NFC South. It truly is a weird year in football.
Re: Playoff Positioning: Where we Stand.
So if we lose we play the Cardinals? At home if they lose? In Arizona if they win?
If we win we play Eagles, 49ers, or the Saints? At home?

Re: Playoff Positioning: Where we Stand.
What is the scenario where the Saints get into the playoffs?
Re: Playoff Positioning: Where we Stand.
Is this right? It's possible for us to be 2nd seed, 3rd seed, or 5th seed after today?

Re: Playoff Positioning: Where we Stand.
We can only play the eagles or 49ers from what I can tell with the playoff sim.
I think our best route is to win, Rams lose, Cardinals win.
That gives us Eagles opening round, and allows for the most favorable matchup opportunities overall.
Ideally from there the Rams beat the Cowboys, and the Cardinals beat the 49ers.
Imo anyway.
