We have a chance to reverse our west coast road fortunes. I do not think Drew Stanton is taking the cards to the sb and they do not deserve to be there with him. Therefore, I think either us or Green Bay will win there. That said, with how GB has been playing at home do we even have a prayer to be in a close game with them in January in Lambeau?

Arizona beats Detroit this week then they should be able to beat KC or StL, Seattle at home, and last game at SF all they would have to do is win to take a bye. Green Bay I see only losing one more game but they could actually beat NE in three weeks, the team I think they would lose to.

As a 4 seed we may be in great shape, hosting the lions in the wild card round or Cowboys. Then going to Arizona in the divisional. If we win both those games we go to Green Bay or maybe Philadelphia in the NFCCG. If we go to GB it will be harder to pull off unless SF ends up taking the 6 seed over Dallas.

That said if Philadelphia loses to Seattle and Dallas loses at Chicago and we win in Chicago we stand a strong chance at 10-6 and taking the 3 seed because of Philadelphia's likely 4-0 IC record. Though that would suck because we could draw SF in the wild card round.

Our best bet is to take the 4 seed and hope Arizona is the 1 seed or SF is the 6 seed because SF will beat Philadelphia. Then we can still go to Arizona, if this west coast first game home winning trend is to ever end, then it has to be with the team with a backup qb and having the sb home curse.

Atlanta are only one game behind us, the way we are playing there's a chance we don't even make the playoffs in the worst division.

Seriously?

Atlanta's remaining games...
@Carolina
Cleveland
Arizona
@Green Bay
Pittsburgh
@New Orleans
Carolina

dizzle88

Yeah seriously

Everyone is saying its possible we make a winning streak, its also possible the falcons could

No one saw the giants making a run in 2011, anything can happen

Plus with the way we've been playing, how can we be confident we won't continue to throw games?

The Giants have as much in common with the failclowns as a crocodile does to a chameleon.

The Saints WILL win the division and finish no worse than 10-6

Whilst I wouldn't complain about that at all, I just don't see us only losing one more game, if the falcons get on a winning streak we are in serious trouble.

I think they have a really good chance of going winless in that entire string of games... They might split with carolina though. Other than that...yeah I say they win at best two of those games...

I can't see Atlanta winning more than 2 games and that's assuming they somehow sweep the Panties...

blackangold

Yup...

Prediction for the NFCS time:

NO 10-6
ATL 6-10
CAR 5-9-1
TB 3-13

With the remaining games for ATL there is no way they catch us. Despite how critical I am of the team I know they can easily go 6-1 to finish the season, hell 11-5 is possible if they really pull it together.

Uh-oh, that could possibly mean another LIVE Gameday Thread with SloMotion, ... you guys gonna' be able to handle it? (da-da-daaa ~the suspense builds~, ) ... though I do feel that's how it's gonna' shake out if DET pulls their annual second-half implosion act ... the NFC North also may wind up being decided Wk #17 @ Lambeau and I really don't see the Lions winning there in December ... and I dunno', I think you give Stanton too much credit. Prior to Palmer being out, I pegged this one as a Lions' road loss, but Stanton being in there tilts the scales against the Cards the rest of the way. He's great for a game or two but has a hard time putting together a longer stretch.
