Re: Playoff Picture as of Today 11-18-13

I'm looking at the #2 seed being almost as important as the #1 seed.

Carolina losing tonight is huge, and gives us both a 2 game lead on Carolina for the division and a 2 game lead over Detroit for the #2 seed (3 game lead over Chicago since we beat them).

A #2 seed gives you a week off to get healthy, a home game guaranteed for the Divisional round, and the possibility of another home game if the #1 is beaten (which has happened in the NFC 2 of the last 3 years).

Currently 72-26% on HFA between Seattle and the Saints.

NFC Playoff Picture

Of course when we sneak out of the NW with another win on the leg of Hartley, those numbers will flip.

And currently we have 73% on getting a bye.

Man, it would be sweet to get to 10-2 against Seattle in Seattle and take HFA and the 1st seed.

Re: Playoff Picture as of Today 11-18-13

obviously we have to win in Seattle, but they could lose the following week as well, giving us a cushion
I could see both teams 13-3, with us as #1 seed

Yeah I could see a team like Seattle getting beat in the Divisional round by a team similar to what those 9-7 Giants did a couple years ago in GB. The question is, what team would be similar that could do that in Seattle?

How about the 49ers or Panthers?

I be honest with you, unless we drop both Panther games in regular season while maintaining a #2 seed, I dont want to see them in the playoffs.

Have you ever seen all of those NFC teams make the playoffs in any one year?
