Looks like the Eagles at 6-7 overtook that spot. Yet we have a better record, better division and conference record. Wait WHAT? I thought we only lost the playoff spot to Philly until we won, since 6-7 is better than 5-6 (our record prior to today’s win). Now we’re 6-6.

Before our game was over, I guess technically they were ahead for a few hours, as 6-7 is considered slightly better than 5-6. But now that we are 6-6, we not only kept our spot but actually moved up to 6th with the Niners loss. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not according to this: https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/standings/playoffrace/ They show our record updated to 6-6, yet give us the #8 spot in the NFC Edited December 6, 2021 by bowhunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if it doesn’t, it is clearly wrong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Acre Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 Against common opponents (SEA and GB), SF is 0-3 and we're 1-1. SF also played Philly, and won, but beating Philly is more important for our overall record than for our tie-breaker. Dallas-Philly-Dallas-Philly, that's some whiplash going into the final game against New Yuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhead36 Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 Bold prediction: We get swept by Dallas in the regular season....but we play them in the playoffs and knock them off in the 1st round. See you in Lambeau mid January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before our game, they Eagles had the spot because they had 6 wins and we only had 5. After the game we knocked them back down (6-6 vs 6-7), and in fact are at #6 thanks to the SF loss.

gooseneck Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 Well, I started at 9 in a row and we go; We have won 4 straight since then so I am saying now "5 in a row, and we go" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NFC outside of the top 5 is pretty mediocre. 9ers schedule down the stretch is tough and they just lost to the garbage ass Seahawks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ILikeBilly Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 Four straight wins is currently the longest win streak in the NFC. If it gets to seven, we are first in the east.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
