How it looks in NFC, from ESPN

Here's a chart from ESPN:

NFC scenarios

• The Saints would be the No. 2 seed based on better conference record than the Cowboys.
• The Giants would be the No. 5 seed based on better conference record than the Panthers.

 

Panthes could/should be the clear 2nd seed

 

we SHOULD be the second best team in the NFC but currently we are not.
just looking at schedules there is a decent chance for our guys to make the post season, unless there is a complete collapse. Even at 9-7 there may only be one other team (Minny) seeded below us who could take that last spot.
But to be frank I would rather not limp into the playoffs only to get waxed by a team like dallas or seattle . . . humiliation at that level sucks
here's hoping that Jake and Co and our ST play rises to the level that our D has been playing and we will DESERVE to be playing in January

 

Minny also holds that tiebreaker on us. They're 1/2 game out.

 

Let hope that we make a run to playoff like we did last year.Let's hope that we get to play Seattle and Dallas.We need to beat both of this team in the playoff.So we can shut down all the Panthers hater out there

 

Don't remind me of that brilliant Gamble lateral... please

 

would anyone here be shocked if that one moronic play came back to haunt us?

 

Nope.

I'm guessing we want NYG to beat the Cowboys next week. That would knock the cowboys back, and we have an opportunity to beat NYG to have that conference tiebreaker.

 

That crap was just sad. If that costs us the playoffs then it is fitting. That and the draw on third and ten are the two signature plays of this season.

 

Good luck with that.
