Eagles cannot go to Seattle in the playoffs because they have h2h tiebreaker over the lions. If eagles were to go 10-6, they'd still be the 3 seed if they beat Dallas. I just don't see them losing to the vikings. And if they end up 9-7 that means they lost to Chicago and Dallas and I don't think Dallas will lose both the next two against two teams not getting in. so if eagles get out of wild card round, they are playing us.

Tbh, I hope we win this week and lose to Carolina. Just because I wouldnt want to have to play them four weeks later if we sweep them but I feel we're sweeping them. Lions hung well with eagles for a half before eagles ran over them second half. Could they hang with Seattle in C-Link?

Look at who the Eagles have played.... Cardinals, Packers (Wo Rodgers), Raiders, Skins, Giants..

If played today Seahawks will get the lowest winning seed, we will get the highest winning seed. Giving the Seahawks the 49ers and us the Panthers again.

I just do not see the Eagles taking out the 49ers in any wildcard round.

right now the two wild cards are the stronger teams of the 4 in the divisional round
biggest factor will be Philly's weather
if seeds hold and SF and Carolina win, we would host Carolina, with SF going to Seattle----
Good match-ups for us

seachickens aren't that good.
they just think they are.

redemption is best served cold.
third time is the charm.

this is going to be fun, no matter what happens.

ya'know why? you aren't an atlanta fan.

I'm thinking (or hoping) the beatdown on Carolina is the start of their 1-3 meltdown to end the season, and Arizona boots those Appalachian slopeheads out of the playoffs altogether. Arizona owns the tie-breaker over Carolina, after stomping that pompous panther ass 22-6 in October.

This is setting up quite nicely if you ask me.

Its not out of the realm of possibility that Seattle drops 2 of the next 3 and finishes 12-4.

Its all for the fact that they heading to NY which you never know what the Giants will do, then 2 games vs division opponents.

I am trying to be optimistic here though, I just am waiting for the real Seattle Seahawks to show up like the real Falcons showed up this season.

The good/bad news is that we will probably know before the last game where we stand.

That will probably be next year.

If the 49ers and Eagles both blow their easy games at Noon, the Saints would clinch before the game vs the Rams begins...
