At 0-9 this year, some would say that things are looking pretty bad for the San Francisco 49ers.
But all hope is not lost. Indeed, there is still a chance we can make the playoffs. Here is how:
- The 49ers win all of their remaining games, taking them to 7-9. Not a likely result for playoffs, but possible. I think it was always Kyle Shanahan’s plan to build dramatic tension before going on a winning streak, anyway.
- The LA Rams, currently at 6-3, go on to lose all of their remaining games. This takes them to 6-10.
- The Seattle Seahawks, currently at 5-3, go on to lose all of their remaining games except for one (they have to beat the Rams). That takes them to 6-10, too.
- The Arizona Cardinals, currently 4-4, go on to lose all of their remaining games except for two (they have to beat the Rams and the Seahawks), which also takes them to 6-10.
Thus the division ends with San Francisco on top with 7-9, and everyone else below at 6-10.
It’s a fair bit to ask, I’ll admit. First, we need to win all seven games. Then there are another 16 games were not involved in that need to go exactly our way. Which is every other game that everyone else in the division is involved in with no margin for error.
