[QUOTE="PackerfaninCarolina, post: 637600, member: 9364"] Well things do change and they do change in a heartbeat. Right now this team really needs an 8-4 record to get themselves solidified into a playoff spot this Thursday. While I do want more than ever to control our own destiny, here's how I hope it goes down. This Sunday, I am actually going to pull for the Vikings to win. What Vikings fans may not realize is that there are several games on their schedule that them winning may actually be helping us more so than hurting us. If they beat Seattle this Sunday, the Seahawks do have a greater likelihood of getting eliminated. What I will also hope is that Baltimore wins in Miami this Sunday, because if they do that and return home with a confident Matt Schaub to play Seattle, they'll still be fighting for a wildcard spot and may catch the Hawks in a trap game in Baltimore. And it may just take 2 more losses to eliminate Seattle. But bottom line, the game this Sunday between them and Minny is a must-win for both teams I'd say. Other game to watch is Atlanta and Tampa Bay. Crazy as it sounds, Tampa Bay is perhaps the dark horse team that could beat Seattle out for a playoff spot. The way Atlanta is playing right now, they very well could be in a QB controversy within the next year or so, Kyle Shannahan's got issues, and Dan Quinn, I don't know, he looked good coming in but his magic seems to be wearing off. Tampa Bay meanwhile, they're team you shouldn't sleep on. If they win this Sunday, they very well do have a shot to finish out on a 9-7 or 10-6 season. Enough for the playoffs? I don't know but don't count them out, their game this Sunday is a make or break one. Between the Bears and the Giants, I don't know. Bears probably hit 500 with a win over a bad 49ers team this Sunday, but then they got the confident Redskins, Vikings, and Bucs' teams all in a row. Might beat a skins team with road struggles at home, but I see them dropping both road games at Minny and Tampa Bay. Might even lose to Detroit at home at the season's end. Giants, they're by far the biggest question mark of a team on this whole parade out there. Crazy that they played very well against their old nemeses the Patriots once again, yet just laid an utter egg on the road in Washington. I gotta think with Washington playing a Romo-less Cowboys team at home this Monday night, their game against the Jets is I'd say a must-win to try and keep a spot not only open for taking the division but to try and get a wildcard in their division. The thing that's just so crazy about this Giants team, they could beat the Carolina Panthers at home in a few weeks yet also throw a stinker down in Miami. That's the Giants under Tom Coughlin in a nutshell. I'd say they go about 8-8 though and it won't be enough to beat out the Redskins or get the playoffs.
