VERY weak playoff chance

I know some people have seen this on the "official" forums, but I figured I'd pass it on just in case.

First of all, I'm posting this because I am baffled at the venom being spewed towards fellow fans still dreaming of wild playoff scenerios. I don't think we have a snowball's chance at the playoffs-- due partly to our record and do partly to our team http://www.extremeskins.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif

However, who cares if some people want to dream? Where's the harm? Why berate them so?

So I propose we make a sticky thread with the possibilites and update it week to week. That way, those still interested could check in, and those not interested can check out.

Please note that I stole this from the other playoff thread-- I did NOT do this legwork myself. Here's what we need:

Skins need to win out (8-8)

There are 8 scenerios below, we need 7 of them to happen in order to make the playoffs:

Giants need to lose 3 of 4 (7-9)
Panthers need to lose 3 of 5 (8-8)
Falcons need to lose 3 of 4 (7-9)
Vikes need to lose 2 of 4 (7-9)
Eagles need to lose 2 (tonight?) plus a loss to us (7-9)
49ers need to lose 2 of 4 (7-9)
Green Bay needs to lose 1 of 4 (7-9)
Rams would be elimated with a loss to us (8-8)

:Smoker:

I thought playoff talk was crazy after the Panthers win. It's just crazy after a loss to the Falcons.

No way JC can handle the pressure of a playoff run. Not happening this year. Kiss it goodbye....

I really doubt they will make it. Will they be a winning team next year? I think so.

I don't see anything wrong with this. If we had won last Sunday all the other teams did in fact lose. There is no harm in keeping the faith until we're mathematically eliminated. Will it happen? Probably not because most people use logic and have a basic grasp of probabilities. It doesn't stop some people from buying a lottery ticket and envisioning their numbers getting called. Next Sunday, I'm going to keep track of the aforementioned teams just like I did the past two Sundays. Why? Am I stupid? Retarded? Living in a dream world? No, I like rooting for my team and against the guys we're competing against regardless of rationality.

Night-night!

i really am tired of we still have a chance.

It is nice to hope, but JC can't do it. We don't have Porits, Springs is hurt... the list is so long. I'm not getting my hopes up. I'd rather accept that we are out and move on.

That's cool. Nothing wrong with being rational!

So youre saying theres a chance! lol

come on guys, we only need 7 or 8 far fetched things to happen, that sounds pretty realistic, haha.

I just wish there were more pimp hurricanes we could draft...but it was a long year for my canes too...
