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.

      I'm convinced Harden wants to do nothing but put up pretty shots and try to draw fouls and then do nothing on defense lol. Brunson went off though

      what does Bryce's 2026 season need to look like for you to be oaky with extending him?

      Baker was traded before he played his 5th year.  RGIII was cut before playing his 5th year. So it is rare but it happens.

      Time to hit 4000 yards and 30 TDs (including rushing). I don't care about INTs anymore. That's a big part of the problem. He plays uber conservative until the game is on the line. Playing not to lose, instead of playing to win. Time to let it friggin rip from the get. The team can win with a pick or 2 if he has 3-4 TDs. Stop playing scared.  But to be fair, his WRs have not been great. You all can bash about 1st round picks and O-line cap all you want.  Chuba as your #1 RB his entire career.  Adam Thielen as your best WR for 2 of 3 seasons is ridiculous. Then a rookie as your best in the 3rd season. Legette is not a 1st round talent. Probably closer to a 4th if you compare him to Brazzel this year. Coker has been a walking injury report. Nothing else to really speak of at WR or TE. Jimmy Horn has potential, but he is not an NFL starter yet. Oline has been better as run blockers than pass blockers. Ickey has always been so-so as a pass blocking LT. Center has been a revolving door for 3 years. Damien Lewis has been as marketed. Hunt is a great run blocker but an ok pass blocker - when healthy. Moton has been solid at RT. Biggest problem with the oline has been depth. When someone went down, their replacement became a glaring weakness. Overall a good but not great unit the last 2 years. 2023 was a ish show. Nothing else to say.  Not one game breaker, take it to the house offensive weapon since DJ Moore. Hopefully we get a little of that from Brazzell.  Either way, in his 4th season, it doesn't matter. You have to be able to overcome whatever comes your way. First 3 seasons with a young supporting cast is defendable. Can't use that anymore though. 3rd year in the offense. 3rd year with the same HC.
