Time of the Doctor v/s happenings of Name of the Doctor

I just re-watched The Time of The Doctor. Noticed a couple of things The Doctor says.




  1. "This is where I end up.This face - this version of me. We saw this planet in the future,remember? All those graves.....one of them mine."


  2. "We saw the future, Clara.This is how it ends."




These two statements definitively answer that YES, the events seen in The Name of The Doctor would have occurred had The Doctor not received the new regeneration cycle. That was the original timeline. The Doctor dies there, with all those graves, his TARDIS, and the destruction of Trenzalore. That is why Clara says




"Help him change the future"




to the timelords through The crack. This sentence confirms that had The timelords not intervened, The eleventh Doctor would have died on Trenzalore, leaving his grave there. So basically, he has averted his own death. His fate with Trenzalore has changed. The prophecy of the silents was surprisingly fulfilled.
