Losing games a good team doesn't lose to.
There's still a lot that would have to go wrong for that to happen. Keep in mind that Minnesota and Green Bay still play each other, so that's a guaranteed loss for one of those teams.MWmetalhead wrote: ↑Mon Dec 11, 2023 6:55 amThanks. So what that all means is if Detroit ties with either or both of those two teams, then Detroit loses the NFC North.
It would be classic SOL for Detroit to lose to Minnesota, finish tied with either Minnesota, Green Bay, or both, lose the division crown, and then lose its wild card game.
Green Bay is probably going to win against the Giants.
Does Beating Denver help us put it away before we have to worry about the last 3 weeks as do or die?bmw wrote: ↑Mon Dec 11, 2023 9:20 amThere's still a lot that would have to go wrong for that to happen.

Green Bay is probably going to win against the Giants.
Also, after digging deeper into the scenarios, I've found two instances where Detroit would win a tiebreaker over Green Bay. One of those is if Detroit beats Minnesota both times. In that instance, even if Green Bay wins all their remaining games and goes 11-6, Detroit wins the division, even if they lose to Denver and Dallas. The other instance is a 10-7 tie with Green Bay. While Green Bay wins the tiebreaker most of the time, Detroit would win it in the lone instance where Detroit beats Minnesota once and Minnesota beats Green Bay. All other 10-7 ties go to Green Bay.
Bottom line is, for divisional purposes, they gotta beat Minnesota at least once.
Herbert was out hurt in the first half. Not to mention, the Chargers are a complete joke, and will probably fire their idiot coach before the season ends.MWmetalhead wrote: ↑Mon Dec 11, 2023 10:23 amThe Broncos won 24 to 7 against the Chargers yesterday.
I have very low hopes for a Lions win next weekend.
The Broncos aren’t a good team at all. This isn’t a 4-13 team or something. Cut it a little slack they are 9-4 man.MWmetalhead wrote: ↑Mon Dec 11, 2023 10:23 amThe Broncos won 24 to 7 against the Chargers yesterday.

You've not been paying much attention to Denver lately, evidently. They have recent wins against KC, Buffalo and Cleveland.Rate This wrote: ↑Mon Dec 11, 2023 12:33 pmThe Broncos aren’t a good team at all. This isn’t a 4-13 team or something.

Does that leave Green Bay with any conceivable (however thin) path to the division, or did that bed-shit just cook them on that score?
Packers' only path to a division title is them winning out and Detroit losing out. All other scenarios lead to either Minnesota or Detroit winning the division.
Cowboys for all practical purposes have also clinched. Their magic number is at 1 out of literally about 40 games. They're like 99.99999999 percent in.Mike wrote: ↑Tue Dec 12, 2023 12:25 amElsewhere, what it did do (apparently) is make San Fran our first playoff-clincher of the season.
