How bad can a tie F us up in playoff seedings?

I mean it aint a loss, but it doesnt help the win column at all..,

Yeah it could have implications. But an L would have been worse both in getting there and seeding

The mere fact that it's not a loss helps us. It's not as gloomy as it sounds from a playoff picture POV. The only issue us we did not put GB at avdisadvantaged position since they will also be vying for the same spot

Yep, its a lot better than a loss.

It just makes it imperative that we beat GB here at home.

So incredibly frustrating. Carlson had two game winners and missed them both. Missed his 3rd attempt too. 16 point differential on special teams.  19 if you factor in Treadwell's gift.

If we and another team have the same # of victories, the tie basically puts us ahead.   Say we go 13-2-1 and another team is 13-3 and those are the two best NFC records.  We then have the # seed.   The tie is like 1/2 a win/loss, 13.5-2.5 vs. 13-3.   

It's kind of a glass half empty or half full deal.  Say we're 10-5-1 and some other squad is 11-5, then yeah we can't overtake them in playoff seeding.   I guess you could look at it either way.   Of course if it comes down to the us vs. the Packers, the winner of the 2nd game gets the advantage in seeding.

I'm remarkably calm after that game. I saw too much great stuff from Cousins to be down. He was sling'in it.

That's my take too sticky. In fact when it looked like we might still lose I was actually pretty happy with some of the positives I saw. Namely Cousins and the team not losing heart and clawing back.

We will have to let the season play out. One thing seem almost certain. Don't think we can afford more then 3 loses now in a stacked conference if we hope to get a bye let alone home field.
