I know you're not a Pats fan, but a Seattle win moves the Pats to the #14 slot in the draft (assuming a Washington win, which is going to happen).Ah shit that’s it for the Lions season.
Again, silver lining.I know you're not a Pats fan, but a Seattle win moves the Pats to the #14 slot in the draft (assuming a Washington win, which is going to happen).
Or not.As usual, Detroit gets jobbed.
I only care about the Pats. LOL. Anything that benefits them, even slightly, is a-ok with me.Again, silver lining.
I don't get it. Does the Seattle game matter to the Packers? If they win, they're in, right? And if they lose, Detroit (or Seattle) is in.As usual, Seattle gets the benefit of the call at home. NFL trying as hard as they can to get Rodgers in.
Lions having more to play for is bad for their opponentsI don't get it. Does the Seattle game matter to the Packers? If they win, they're in, right? And if they lose, Detroit (or Seattle) is in.
Ah, ok.Lions having more to play for is bad for their opponents
Fine with me!So optimal outcome for New England fans who would like Detroit to sneak in is a Seattle-Rams tie.
You’ve convinced me: Seattle win or tie.Fine with me!
Seattle drafts well. Best to stay ahead of them.You’ve convinced me: Seattle win or tie.
Screw Detroit. (Even if it would mean the Pats beat a playoff team convincingly.)
Yup. Giving them every advantage.Hey, the NFL's plan to get Rodgers in the playoffs worked after all! Imagine that.
Green Bay and Detroit have a higher SOS than New England.Seattle wins---so the last spot is down to Seattle or GB.
If GB wins, does Detroit slide to #14 in draft and Pats to #15?
Wow, that's hard to believe.The streak of no repeat champion in the NFC East continues. Since 2004 it's been PHI-NYG-PHI-DAL-NYG-DAL-PHI-NYG-WAS-PHI-DAL-WAS-DAL-PHI-DAL-PHI-WAS-DAL-PHI
No, because the Pats will have the lower strength-of-schedule percentage.Seattle wins---so the last spot is down to Seattle or GB.
If GB wins, does Detroit slide to #14 in draft and Pats to #15?
Ah, wasn't sure if H2H mattered.Green Bay and Detroit have a higher SOS than New England.
The Patriots won the AFC East 15 times during that span.The streak of no repeat champion in the NFC East continues. Since 2004 it's been PHI-NYG-PHI-DAL-NYG-DAL-PHI-NYG-WAS-PHI-DAL-WAS-DAL-PHI-DAL-PHI-WAS-DAL-PHI
It's one of the tie-breakers but not the first.Ah, wasn't sure if H2H mattered.
