Does Arizona have a chance of bumping us out of the playoffs?

As many have already said we need one win and we are in.

Here's where it gets interesting though, the Cards are still in with a chance if we lose to Atlanta but they need to win out. Now this means they are going to Seattle with a shot of getting to the play-offs, they have something to play for and are in a more desperate situation than Seattle obviously. Now it's not a likely scenario, but they could go up there and play their guts out and shock Seattle.

That means we play on Monday night v Atlanta knowing that we have to win, thus focusing the team on delivering and making everyone even more mentally sharp. Hopefully we win then, knowing we don't want to go to Ari to a game where the winner makes the play-offs.

Now if we beat the Falcons it means we can go to Arizona knowing that they have nothing to play for beyond pride, but they're not going to be playing hard with their season over, in fact a loss might give them a better draft pick.

Meanwhile, Seattle have to play the Rams with the pressure to win to keep HFA and up against a team that causes them problems with Jeff Fisher fighting for his job....

There's our best case scenario. I hope Arizona wins, we take care of business with the Falcons, and then in the last week Seattle face a tricky opponent with added pressure and we go on the road to a team with no one to play for.

This is flat out wrong. If the Cards win Sunday and we win Monday, the Cards are not eliminated if the Saints also win. If the Panthers lose out, the Cards are in regardless of whether or not they beat us in week 17. This would have us at 5th and them at 6th.

Learn your tie breakers, people!

Edit: It even says what I say in your link
:facepalm:

Yes, Never underestimate anyone!

Yes ...they have a shot ...in Their Ass !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The thing about Arizona is, correct me if I'm wrong, they have Palmer as QB. As long as he starts, we win.

I'm rooting for an NFC west threesome in the playoffs.

arizona has a better chance to overtake carolina since arz owns the tie breaker against Car. If NO beats Car this sunday and if the Cards can pull off the minor miracle in SEA, then they would be in the sixth seed in the playoffs.

Home field advantage coming up soon

Dude the Niners have to win out if we want to avoid going to Seattle until the NFCCG if we make it that far. There is no meaningless game at the end of the season for us this year.

Plus who would you rather play in the 1st round? The NFC north champ or Philly? (I think Philly wins the east np)

Thanks for the penetrating glimpse into the obvious . . . unless the Hawks choke of course.
