why the two seed is actually better.

The saints are likely to go on the road and take a poo. The niners are likely to go on the road and win. Either way I don't like both road teams to win. I would much rather get Philly/Dallas or green bay/ Chicago in the divisional game. None of those teams have a defense on par with NO or the niners. But whoever we play. Bring it!! Let me get two claps and a Ric flair!!!!

It all depends on who you consider our toughest match-up to be...

 

Personally I don't think we match-up well with New Orleans... their defense has stymied our offense twice and though our defense did limit Drew Brees to a sub-par day in Carolina, I don't expect that to happen again.

 

I'm with the OP, I would much prefer the #2 seed...

 

As it stands now...

 

Seeding

1. Seattle

2. Carolina

3. Philadelpha/Dallas

4. Chicago/ Green Bay

5. San Francisco

6. New Orleans

 

Wild Card

3. Philly/Dallas vs. 6. New Orleans

4. Chicago/ Green Bay vs. San Francisco

 

Divisional

1. Seattle vs. 4. Chicago/Green Bay, 5. San Francisco, 6. New Orleans

2. Carolina vs. 3. Philly/Dallas, 4. Chicago/Green Bay, 5. San Francisco

 

Record wise the two seed will have the easier route to the Super Bowl.

The Panthers are 7-1 at home, only loss being to the 1 seed in the NFC by 5 points in a Week 1 fluke. Panthers are 5-3 on the road, our only loss in the last 11 games was on the road against a good team. I don't care what the matchups are, I'd rather play at home as much as possible than on the road.

    • And, honestly, there's only so much you can attempt to do in the draft. And every draft pick is a roll of the dice. But that's where grabbing a ton of UDFAs, and targeting the best, makes a big difference. Sure, their individual chances of getting a hit here is less, but that shotgun pattern might just hit something.  Right now, we need bulk, partly to rebuild and partly to dilute the deep level of stank that has developed on this team in the last six years. If we're going to rebuild a culture built around culture, accountability and winning, then these UDFAs we bring in each season have to be the wash water that gets out that leftover dirt.  Canales seems to be a smart, culture-first, build up the good ones kind of guy. I like that and I hope he can keep it going here. But he was working against a locker room that had been taught to lose and taught to distrust or ignore coaches. He's got his work cut out for him, still. He does seem to have it moving in the right direction and that's something I was pretty amazed with by the end of last season.  
    • The most telling sign, IMO, of a team on the upward swing is who we lost in the off-season. Who left that even saw the field? Woods, Clowney, Sanders, & Hekker. OK...no big deal. Clowney is the only 1 that I raised an eyebrow over and I get that it was a money decision. No need to pay him over $7M to take snaps from our draft picks when he was just OK last year.
