so what needs to happen for the lions to make Wildcard?

(for starters, make PATs )

[ljthockey]

Yeah i got to go with Panthers as well.

[CommissionerBobHope]

(for starters, make PATs )

the lions can win their last two games, but they will need everything else to fall in place around them.

what would that mean? Pack and Vikes lose their next two games?

Heh, that can't happen...they play each other next week.

Maybe they have to tie or something.

Panthers should make the playoffs; they are playing really well right now. If they don't, they should kick out the winner of the NFC West and put them in.

Two 8-8 teams might make the playoffs in the NFC...just crazy.

[portisfan24]

It will be a sign of the apocalypse if the Saints make the playoffs. Hopefully its carolina, but they arent much better.

[Nilmerf]

I say the Panthers have the second wild card pretty much sown up, assuming they win at least one game. I say they win both. The saddest thing about the NFC is that Arizona could still win their division at 5-9..

[CommissionerBobHope]

arizona can beat seattle next week, insane.

[Dr. Duran Duran]

Whatever happens, I just hope they fire Mike Martz. There are a couple of high school teams around here that could use him.
