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

[pantherbiker]

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.

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...

[niblet]

Yes, we are.

[Britneck]

If we lose to the Giants and beat the Saints we would have the number 2.

[pantherbiker]

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.

[Section 505]

Yes, we are.

Panthers would be 12-4. Nobody else in the NFC can get to 12 wins, so they would be NFC South Champs, with a first round bye.

[JungleCat]

It wouldn't be so bad. Carolina would have homefield advantage throughout if someone were to knock the Giants out of the playoffs. I'd rather have the Panthers win on sunday, though.

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.

[pantherbiker]

#1 seed would be great - but are we ready as a team for that kind of high recognition? Hope we don't get the big head, and lose like we did in Atlanta.

[Cyclonus]

The onlt thing that worrys me is the possibility of playing the Giants twice in the span of one month. It's hard to beat teams twice. But that could happen whether we win this week or not. So fug 'em.... kick their asses!

[litesabre]

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.

The unfortunate scenario is if we drop the next two and Minn wins the next two, we are the #3 seed due to tiebreakers, if we win the division.

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.

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

Yeah, I'm pretty sure you are correct.
