There is always hope - Xanthri - 12-20-2010 03:20 PM
I would love for us to beat the saints and them to lose to TB...TB wins out and eliminates the champs....
Stranger things have happened.
though right now I see GB and TB as the odd ones out.....
I just don't see how NYG can lose to GB this week after that HUGE let down this week. i have to believe they watched NE struggle and they will be all over GB to prove that the philly game was a fluke.

Green Bay is gonna be "coming on like donkey kong", IMHO.....if Packers win out their next two home games (vs. NYG, vs. Chi) then they are in.......they would be 10-6 with head-to-head tiebreaker over the NYG (assumes Giants go 1-1).
Less than 5% chance the Saints miss playoffs. They are 10-4 and even if they lose out and finish 10-6 I think they have playoff tiebreakers over some of those guys - not sure about that at all though.

I can see the Giants losing. Something like that can really demoralize a team, and just by looking at them after that they looked like they were emotionally drained after that game. I think GB gets the W over them next week.

agreed......Green Bay/NY Giants is 2nd best NFL game next to Falcons/Saints game - but more playoff implications in the GB/NYG game.......hope the A-T-L gets that game...
still pizzed that Atlanta area did not get the Giants/Eagles game this weekend - uggh!

There are two scenarios in which the Buccaneers and the Saints would both make the playoffs tied at 10-6:
The Giants would have to lose out (at Green Bay and at Washington), and the Packers would have to lose to the Bears in the finale, making the Giants and Packers both 9-7.
The Giants win out, and the Eagles lose both of their games (home against the Vikings and Cowboys). The Saints have the tiebreaker for conference record over Philadelphia.
