#2 Seed if we lose to Giants and beat Saints?

Are we guaranteed the #2 seed if we lose to the Giants and beat the Saints? Don't we get a first round bye with the #2 seed and a playoff game at home? If so then this may still not be that bad, because if the Giants get homefield, and happen to lose in the playoffs, then we could get homefield since they'd be eliminated. Either way we'll be setting pretty if I am correct.:D

That is true but i would rather have homefield advantage you know since we are 8-0 at home this year, that is always better then going to meadowlands for nfc championship game...Plus #1 seed gets the weaker of the wild card teams which may help us also but may not be good because it could either be falcons or cowboys...

I was thinking that in a REAL CRAZY sense - At least if we did lose to the Giants we'd have much more revenge motivation for beating them in the playoffs when it mattered the most. (But rather play them at our house). I am real afraid of facing the Giants twice. Beating them twice would seem nearly impossible. Hopefully we will beat them the first time and won't have to play them again.

If any of the three (Dal, Atl, Tam) lose any of their next two we're in automatically.

If both ATL and Tampa lose at least one game, we win the division regardless of what we do.

If we lose to NY but beat New Orleans we win the division, secure the # 2 seed and home field advantage against everyone but NY regardless of what the other guys do.

If we beat the Giants we win the division, secure the # 1 seed and home field advantage throughout regardless of what the other guys do.

I'd rather us beat the giants and lock in the home field. That way we would at least be playing the giants at our house if we were to meet again. I think our fans are much better this year than they have been in the past. The tampa bay game was the most enjoyable game I've been to.

Also, we are the number two seed if Atlanta, Tampa, and Minnesota lose one game.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure you are correct.

    • Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season. 
    • Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.        
    • My top-5 JAGS: 1. Tommy Tremble: May not ever be top-tier, but has been solid and you never doubt the effort. 2. Cade Mays: Not bad for a 6th rounder. Hated to see him go. 3. Brady Christensen: One of the most versatile backup OLs in the NFL. Hopefully we re-sign him. 4. Trevis Gipson: Quietly was really solid depth last season. Glad we brought him back. 5. Brycen Tremayne: Has been solid depth at WR, flashing at times last year.
