This loss really doesn't hurt that much.

Just think of it, we lost homefield advantage throughout the playoffs, but is it really that big ?? If we win next week, we get the 2nd seed. We still get a 1st round bye, we still get homefield in the divisional playoffs as well. And if the Giants don't make it past the divisional round, the road to the superbowl goes through Charlotte anyways.

Next week is a huge game. It's the difference between 2nd seend and 5th seed. Win next week, and this loss looks a lot less significant.

how many #1 seeds do you know who go on to win the Superbowl? It was a blessing in disguise, I'll take the 2 seed and see NYG in 4 weeks please

Death to New Orleans.

they did a stat on the #2 seed. its not good to be the #2 and go to the SB actually. seams the 3-4 have better luck for whatever reason of getting there and winning the thing. its like %50 to get to SB if 1st seed sub 10 if #2 if i heard the broadcast right.

It dont hurt that much, we learn and grow from this

Hopefully Fox stop the conservative bullshit, cause its playing to lose instead of winning

Get Maake back and ready for Saints

[ISEEYOU]

I wish we would have won...but thinking about the possible seedings, if we win next week we are #2, playing the winner of the Falcons/Minny games, while NYG would would be playing the winner of the Cards/Dallas game. I like Dallas in that game, and I like Dallas against the G-men, that would mean Panthers/Dallas NFCCG in Charlotte.

I like this Scenerio....we must win next week.

[E CaT PanTHer]

I still think the number #2 seed is crucial. 1st round bye is a must, especially cuz we have to go all out against the Saints ...

[doogy]

well lets just hope the saints don't show up to play and we play with some urgency

I said a few days ago that I didn't expect them to win this one and #2 would be fine with me. Nevertheless, I am sick after this game.

This all sounds good, guys. Were better off, we don't need it, it will make us stronger. The reallity? If you would have won tonight, you would be in the Superbowl. Now, forget about it. No smack, but everybody here knows the truth. It's officially over.

If you ask me at the first of the season if I would be happy with a 12-4 record!!

H*ll YES!!

I love your predictions.

Death to New Orleans.

Indeed, if we lose next Sunday it will be far more painful than tonights loss.

[George Shinnsplints]

Give me the 2 Seed, and give me Minnesota in Round 2. We beat the Vikings and the Giants to get to the Super Bowl -- redemption rematches. Then, we win in Tampa against New England (we lost in Tampa in the regular season, and New England...well, you know).

Call me Swami.
