SF--L
Den--W
@Dal--W

AZ with 10-6: (Host Wild Card game)
@Det--W
StL--W
GB--L

GB with 12-4 (Minny plays Car and Chi...they finish with 13 wins at least)
@Pit--W
Sea--W
@AZ--W

49ers with 9-7 (of course we have to win out)
@Phi--W
Det--W
StL--W

Dal with 9-7
@NO--L
@Was--W
Phi--L

NYG with 9-7
@Was--W
Car--W
@Min--L

Atl with 8-8
@NYJ--L
Buf--W
@TB--W

Therefore, it is between the 49ers, Cowboys, and Giants.

49ers
Conf record=8-4

Cowboys
Conf record=7-5

Giants
Conf record=7-5

Man, that last week of the season could be a doozy!!!!!!

I can't believe threads like this are still popping up. There is no doubt in my mind we arent headed for the playoffs. If we cant get it up against the Chickens then there is zero chance we will run the table. Sorry guys, I'm a true fan, but I've seen this movie one too many times.

Who's saying we're making it? This thread is not to do that. It's to show people, with raw facts, how incredibly unlikely it is, so more threads saying "We can still do it" don't pop up. This thread actually provides substance. It does not merely state "We have a chance."

This thread says goes much further than that, analyzing the "chances" for those who do still feel we have hope, but also verifying the horrifically low odds for those who feel there is no hope. It's a thread for all, my friend.

This is how we can still win the wild card.

1. Win out
2. Dallas needs to lose 2 games (@NO, @Wash, Philly)
3. Giaints need to lose 1 game (@Wash, Car, @Minn)
4. This does not need to happen as long as another team finishes 9-7 and its a 3-way tie at 9-7 but Atlanta lose 1 game (@Jets, Buff, @TB)

We would hold the tiebreaker vs any of those teams because we lost 3 games to the AFC so we would have a better NFC record. Atlanta would hold the head to head tiebreaker but if its a 3-way tie it would go to NFC record.

Its a long shot but still not impossible. I can see Dallas losing 2 games and the Giants losing 1 of those games. The hard part is us winning out.

If only we had beaten Seattle...

That was a Nolan type loss. Damn you Singletary. Enough with the words and speeches, it's time for action.

He never was the right guy. Just a Pep Rally motivator. And 3 more wasted years by the time we get rid of him and start over.

Quote:
The 49ers could qualify for the playoffs under the following scenarios:

49ers win the rest of their games and the Cardinals lose the rest of theirs, leaving San Francisco alone atop the NFC West with a 9-7 record. Arizona would be 8-8.

49ers win the rest of their games to finish 9-7, and the Cardinals also finish 9-7. The 49ers would own the tiebreaker over Arizona, having swept the Cardinals.

49ers finish tied with Dallas for the final wild-card berth. Both teams would be 8-8. The 49ers would have the superior NFC record.

It's also possible, I think, for the 49ers to find themselves tied for a wild-card spot with multiple teams at 9-7

To confirm the bolded part of your question, that's correct.

we won't win the devision that way because AZ will still have a better record than us.
