The #1 seed - aim high

[LA_Panther]

We beat Atlanta + SEA loss + SF win will give the niners the NFC west title. That will make Seattle, SF and Carolina all 12-4. Seattle will go from being #1 seed all season to a wildcard team on the last day of the season. Since we hold the tie breaker against the niners, hello home-field throughout baby! It's gonna be a dramatic season finale

[Goondal]

Certainly will make the 4pm games fun should we win at 1.

I already know this to be true, although I have been wondering what tiebreaker San Fran would hold over Seattle after splitting the 2 divisional games??

Division record.  SF has only lost to Seattle, Seattle lost to SF and Arizona.

Its not too crazy either. Its not like we need 5 or 6 games to go our way..

 

We handle business, and we pretty much need two games to go in our favor

 

 

 

 

 

Would LOVE to see Saints lose their wildcard spot.

One more epic scenario

 

We beat atlanta + Bucs beat aints + Cards beat niners = aints out of the playoffs

We need Cards to lose though, niners to win if we want that number 1 spot plus seattle loss

Basically... 

 

Panthers WIN + Bucs WIN = Drew Brees's agent booking his next NyQuil commercial

[TheMaulClaw]

It won't happen but it's quite possible. St. Louis gives Seattle bad fits but San Francisco has to play in Arizona (a tall task with that defense).

Likely scenario? We take The Falcons, The Seahawks beat The Rams and The 49ers survive The Cardinals.

More likely scenario. Still heart wrenching though.   We win, Seahawks lose, 49ers lose.

Brings up the dilemma. Do you want the #1 seed or a #2 seed with the added satisfaction of the aints collapse in the last 2 weeks of the season. I'll take the #1 seed, but I'm not really worried about playing on the road with our D....I just love the idea that aints going from #2 seed to out of the playoffs in 2 weeks

[carpanfan96]

Nah, we need the Cards to loose to SF. The Saints will probably loose because they would be playing in Philly (snow..) or Chicago/GB (Snow...) and likely be one and done anyway. 

[PghPanther]

I don't think anyone wants the Cards in the playoffs right now........
