Playoffs!?

Post by Captain 97 » Wed Dec 17, 2025 12:05 am

Iv'e been looking at the tiebreaker scenarios and it is mathematically impossible for the Hawks to win the tie breaker against either the Rams or the Niners. They need to finish in first place alone If they want to win the division. Here are the scenarios that can make that happen.

1. Hawks Win out

2. Hawks beat Rams
Hawks Lose to Panthers
Hawks Beat Niners
Rams Lose to either Falcons or Cards

3. Hawks beat Rams
Hawks beat Panthers
Hawks Lose to Niners
Rams Lose to either Falcons or Cards
Niners Lose to either Colts or Bears

4. Hawks Lose to Rams
Hawks Beat Panthers
Hawks Beat Niners
Rams lose to both Falcons and Cards

5. Hawks Beat Rams
Hawks Lose to Panthers
Hawks Lose to Niners
Rams Lose to both Falcons and Cards
Niners Lose to both Colts and Bears

Well the Rams aren't losing to the Cards or Falcons so we need to win out.

Rams lost to Bryce Young I'd say I'd give the Falcons a chance. Cards not so much.

Most likely, but I didn't see them losing to the Panthers either. They definitely aren't invincible.

Puka Nacua just said that there are refs who make calls just so they can get on TV. The NFL should suspend him for Thursday's game.

Too funny. I got a text about an hour ago from a buddy saying the exact same thing!

I though Young was going to be a total Bust but he has been playing better and has them in the race. Rams are not losing to the 5-9 Falcons.

If any of the Packers, 49ers or Panthers win, we avoid the Rams in our first playoff game.

i think there is at least an even chance that either SF or GB comes through for us. i would of course much rather wait until the NFCG to face the league's second-best team in the Rams. Both the Bears and Philly underwhelm. SF is so beat up it will be hard for them to rebound from week 18 but they have a massive coaching advantage and the better QB going for them. And i think Chicago was scoreless for 3 quarters today against a less than formidable Lions D. And the week before they gave up 42 points to the same beat up Niners squad that we just held to well under 200 yards.
