NFL Playoff Picture 2016: Best, worst case scenarios for each NFC team

Very nice summary of each team's best case scenarios.

I'll just quote Carolina and Arizona.

Quote

Panthers fans should root for … A Carolina win over the Buccaneers to secure first place and home field advantage throughout. Despite the Panthers matching up well against the Seahawks (and beating them earlier this year), they'd probably prefer to avoid Seattle if possible. The best chance of that? Green Bay and Arizona winning Sunday, making Seattle the No. 6 seed going to Green Bay (where they lost earlier this year) and Minnesota the 5 at Washington. Hope Green Bay can beat Seattle and you get the Vikings or Redskins.

Cardinals fans should root for … The Panthers to lose and the Cardinals to win, giving Arizona the No. 1 seed. Beating Seattle and getting the No. 2 seed isn't a bad consolation prize, however. Regardless of what happens in the Vikings-Packers game, Seattle isn't coming to town in the divisional round as they'd be the No. 6 seed. Arizona would draw a matchup against the Packers, Redskins or Vikings if they secure the No. 2 seed. This is where we start to wonder if it's better to be the No. 2 seed. (It's not unless you're petrified of Seattle.)

The narrative that the 2015 Seahawks are this scary behemoth is false. There weaknesses haven't changed and they haven't suddenly stopped being the team they've been all year. Let them make back to back east coast trips while we chill and prepare. Redskins play better at home then the road so it won't be an easy win for them.

ARZ shouldn't have nobody to be afraid of. If anything SEA, CAR, WAS, MINN should hope they get favorable match ups.

Also "shouldn't have nobody" is a double negative.

I don't think this means what you think it means.

 

 

Regardless of who Arizona should be afraid of, you my friend, should be afraid of a 6th grade English test.

I would like to see what Cousins could do to Seattles defensive backfield.  I think the Skins win that one.

Skins are tough at home. I think they win their first game. Don't think they beat CAR or ARI away tho.

Gimme Bridgewater and Cousins at home over Wilson/Lynch any day of the week.

Dont let the media get you too confident, 

 

Arizona should be afraid.

 

Very afraid.

Media hasn't. I've watched every Panthers game and I've watched Cardinals games. I'm actually a Panthers fan but I'm just being objective when it comes to my views about this year's playoffs.

Don't Nobody believe you.

I know you ain't no Panthers fan.

Maybe by typing this in horrible English you'll understand.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Basbear · Posted

      Brother re-check that guarantee...my page shows 30mill.....thats means he's staying in my book for at least til the end of 2026.  Im going to be my normal honest self, besides watching like half of the SB, I didn't know the guy. My guess is Panthers have a "planned model of paying players" and they almost had to spend a chunk of space on a DLman after Dbrown injury season gave them a nightmare out-come of worst D in NFL scoring. Once Milton got above Dbrown payments, they went with the plan B. A player whom the "co-GM" put his name with. Brad said turk would not be a problem off-field and leader, which the Panthers need badly. I dug in with the google-fu, I found out  I also found him playing lots of NT, which was shocking given the small frame. He seems ready for a bigger role and had a great SB too. IDK, I feel Dan Morgan was dead set on not going into this season without more DL depth and its there. The real deal is this, nearly all FA take one year to "adjust". I think turk is trying too hard and causing injuries as a result for his contract. Dbrown called turk "strong as hell" and I know for a fact Dbrowns has insane core and strength numbers. They lift together with the 50 LB difference...... you always lift with a guy who's similar in strength cause you can leave on the 8 wheels, let the other guy lift while you rest and go after him.  I do wish he had a better beginning to his panther career, 3 games for him to do so and it would cover up the low points if he made a few plays.... Again it felt like they almost had to make move/spend $$$ and Morgan was going to have DL depth this season no matter what...My best guess.

      There's a reason DC wasn't getting calls to be a HC. He wasn't ready. His indecisiveness is infuriating. His lack of awareness is mystifying. He jumped at the chance to grab the David Tepper retirement plan and who can really blame him. Maybe with time he can grow into the job. But we're on year 8 of our 7 year rebuild. I think I'm gonna need a hip replacement before we get a decent HC.
