49ers will make playoffs THIS season

Ok, Im not saying I'm guaranteeing it or anything, but it is possible, right? We own the tie breakers over 2 non-division teams (Vikings and Falcons) with winning records, and the rest of the NFC is .500 or worse. We need to root for the Panthers, Packers, and Giants to dominate their divisions, and we need to win 5 or 6 games. We still have the Bears, Lions, and Browns left to play, and they aren't that good. We get two tough teams in the Bengals and Cards, but we do get them at home. And the Falcons were thought to be a decent team and we beat them. And at least Cincy has to travel west. The real question is if we can take down Seattle and St Louis, and being honest, those teams really don't impress at all. They are both 4-4 right now.

How about some optimism 49ers? The team is in a hole right now, but the NFC isn't a runaway or anything, as most of the teams are equally questionable.

Just a reminder, here are the teams over .500:

NFC East: NYG 5-4
NFC South: CAR 8-0, ATL 6-3 (SF owns tie breaker)
NFC North: GB 6-2, MN 6-2 (SF owns tie breaker)
NFC West: AZ 6-2

Everyone else is 4-4 or worse.

This is doable. Not easy, or maybe even likely, but it is within reach.

So, Football Outsiders calculates the strength of each team based upon every play run so far this year. We are 32nd overall, 31st in D and 32nd in O. Then they run 25,000 simulations of the rest of the schedule to calculate playoff odds, using the relative strengths of the teams. Our playoff odds? 0.1%, after our win against ATL.

But hey, football does not lend itself well to statistics, I agree.

I'll get back to this thread after the Niners have beaten Seattle and have crushed Willow and Marshmallow Lunch with their merciless Scarlet and Gold Foe Hammer.
Then, maybe, yeah.

I give the OP credit, proper grammar and no misspellings while stoned and drunk, pretty impressive.
