NFC Contenders' Corner (Playoff Contenders Info) Week 14

Week 14, Game 6: Falcons (11-1) @ Panthers (3-9)
a. Why it is important: Actually, the game has meaning because the Saints would want to play the Falcons in the divisional round (should the Black & Gold get help in obtaining the #6 seed).
b. Desired outcome: Hold your nose and pull for the Panthers to LOSE. Again, the Saints would want the Falcons to get the #1 seed, then the Saints make #6 seed and WIN in the Wildcard round. That would put the Saints in the Georgia Dome for the Divisional round (2nd week) of the Playoffs. Keep believing until there’s no chance."

I dont agree with pulling for the Falcons. Why in hell would we want to play the Falcons first round (which is not possible when they will have a bye)? With only four games left the Falcons will be the #1 seed regardless... The 49ers cant catch them. The Falcons are 3 games ahead of everyone.

Also if we ever play Atlanta in the playoffs it will be in the NFC Conference Championship. As #1 seed they get a bye in the first round of the playoffs.

If we make it, we will play the Packers or the 49ers in the first round.

Atlanta needs to lose and I cant root for them ever.

I think you misunderstood Oak. He was saying he hopes the falcons get the #1 seed (likely anyway) so the saints can play them in the ga dome (assuming they win their wildacard game) in the 2nd round. I agree, the Saints need to play the falcons in the 2nd round in the ga dome to have the best chance to advance to the nfc champ game.
