In this scenario we're the one seed. We play the lowest remaining seed correct? Or does one bracket automagically go to the one seed and one to the two seed. Forgive me for my ignorance, as we're usually playing WC weekend.

edit: it's nice to have this problem!

if we clinch 1 seed we have bye for wild card then play lowest winning seed in divisional game. So we would either play according to my projections atlanta, minnesota or the giants...which is very easy on the eyes

#1 seed plays lowest seed after WC games are played.

I've learned my lesson about wishing for specific opponents.  Remember how happy most of us were to face Arizona in '09?  That team was a wild card that ended up falling 4 points short of a Super Bowl championship.  We got rekt.

You just made my agent orange act up.

Seattle isn't the same team from the last few years...but them being the 6th seed would make me a little uncomfortable.  I'd honestly rather play any team in the playoffs, with the exception of maybe the Cards. 

i would love to play the Seahawks in the playoffs. our win in week 6 was NOT payback enough for the past few years. we can beat any team in the league, so bring on any team in the NFC and fug em!

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
