Biggest competition for home field in the NFC

[PantherPaul]

What team do you think presents the biggest threat to us for home field through out the NFC playoffs. Take in schedule and on field talent. At first I thought Minnesota but their defense has slipped badly. St Louis? Their offense has gone to sleep and had to scramble today to beat Chicago. Dallas? Fundamentally they are sound and their defense is playing great. Tampa? LOL no way. Green Bay? They have Farve and Ahman Green who is playing great, although their defense is suspect. Ideas?

philly is our biggest obstacle. they are getting healthy, rode the injury bug for a while, and came out of it with a 6-3 record- now with dawkins back, they beat the tar out of the giants. dallas next week is huge. if we lose, that puts us at 8-3, possibly tied with philly and then we get philly at home. the next 2 weeks will clear up a lot about our seeding in the playoffs. huge game with nfc south implications next week too- the saints play the eagles at the linc. the saints need the win to stay in the wild card hunt- and who knows, shit happens.

said this last week....

RAMS

compare the schedules.......the Rams have what amounts to a cake walk. The Eagles have about the toughest remaining schedule of any team in the running.

Yeah but the Rams have a 5-3 conference record right now...with conference record being the #2 tiebreaker for homefield we run roughshot around the Lambs right now in the event of a tiebreaker.

We sit at 6-0 in NFC games, with powerhouses ATL, ARZ, and DET left on the schedule, of course Dallas, Philly, and NYG in Week 17 won't be cakewalks.

current playoff picture in the NFC

There are two more blocks of 3 games each –


The big threat RAMS (7-3)

@ Cards/ Vikes/ @ Browns

Hawks / Bangals/ @ Detroit

Hell, I don’t know . . . the way they struggled with duh Bears they could lose a couple of those but they seem to have an easier road for homefield than anyone else . . . Probably finish 12-4


The Surprising SEAHAWKS (7-3)

@ Ravens/ Browns/ @ Vikes

@ Rams/ Cards/ @ Niners

Don't know 'em well enough to even guess.)


The improved EAGLES (7-3)

Aints/ @ PANTHERS/ Cowboys

@ Phins/ Niners/ @ Skids

They’ve got to lose at least a couple more . . . 11-5


The damn COWFUCKERS (7-3?)

PANTHERS/ Phins/ @ Eagles

@ Skids/ Giants/ @ Aints

I think that’s a tough road and combined with tonights game I say that they fade . . . 10-6



The Pesky PACKERS (5-5)

Niners/ @ Lions/ Bears

@ Bolts/ @ Raiders/ Donkos

I don’t see them losing until the Raiders or maybe the Broncs . . . 10-6


The Fading VIKES play (6-4)

Lions/ @ Rams/ Hawks

@ Bears/ Chiefs/ @ Cards

10-6 at the VERY best.


The Mighty PANTHERS (8-2)

@ Dallas/ Philly/ @ Atlanta

@ Arizona/ Detroit/ @ NYG

11-5 at the very worst ( . . . 13-3 hopefully!)

Tampon closes with a thrashing at the hands of the Titans and even if they win every game until then that’s 9-7 at the VERY best. N’orleans has Eagles Pokes & also the Sucs, that’s 9-7 at the VERY best for them too. Looks to me like only ONE team gets to the post season from the NFC South (PANTHERS!!!!!!!!). Good Lord that would be SWEET huh?

key word is tie breaker....they finish one game ahead of us and all those stats go out the window.
