Strange but true: 2 seed will have a harder game than 5 seed

[Howboutdemcowboys31]

I know the Cowboys aren’t inspiring much confidence right now and we’re not exactly very good on the road

But give me Tampa instead of Rams/Seattle all day for that first round. Having the home game after round 1 is where you you say yeah I wish we had the 2 seed for this specific scenario. I really don’t see the eagles making it out of the first round playing Seattle and or Rams those teams put up points and the eagles might have a top 3 worst defense in the league

I'm not with your logic, sorry.

Yes, the WC "might" be easier again Tampa but need to look bigger picture which is win WC, then have a home game if seed 2 whereas we could blow out Tampa them get crushed on the road next game.

I hear you.......but I just don't agree with it.

Yeah I've been making that point for awhile. The 5 seed isn't bad in round one. Plus if Detroit gets upset we may be in Philly for the divisional. I'd take that as well.

The way this team plays on the road, there's not an easy win come playoff time. Tough to have confidence when your road wins are against the likes of the Giants, Chargers and Panthers.

 

[Kingofholland]

With the Cowboys being pretty remarkable at home hosting games is a much bigger advantage than going on the road for them. However, you're right that the NFC west teams may be tougher opponents than thei5

Home or away, seeding aside, I have zero faith in this squad to make a run. Zero.

 

[Carson]

If we do (likely) get the 5. Philly and Detroit are ripe for an upset as the Rams are super hot and the Seahawks are a tough out.

In an ideal world, Rams upset Philly, Rams upset SF. Dallas gets Tampa, Detroit and a home game

Yes this! Seeding this year is not normal comparable to most years is the point I'm trying to make

This would be ideal
If there is a team that can upset the niners it is Rams
Then we can have NFCCG at home

(Of course this is a dream because TB will beat us)

 

[jazzcat22]

A home playoff game is always greater than a road playoff game.

And we already beat Rams and Seahawks at home. And who says we would not be playing the Vikings anyway.

Also I am not so sure that Philly can go into TB and win.

Give me the home playoff game.

There's a distinct possibility that all 3 WCs win.

The Rams and Seahawks are dangerous and the Eagles/Lions do not have great pass defenses.

See, this is the cycle of mediocrity that Jerry sells and a good number of fans eat up. Yay!! We win the first round and get wiped on in the second. Meanwhile, all the homers will use that as their coat of arms for next year while they buy $2000 worth of jerseys and other gear for the coming year. Just gotta make sure all that matches their rose colored glasses.

Could you imagine all 3 win, then we end up playing a divisional home game?

Has something like that even happened ?

I feel less and less confident getting Tampa. They are on fire at the moment.

I actually haven't bought any gear since the last year we had JG.

That said, I've never seen a SB. So yeah, I'll gladly take the easier route to get to it. We can beat Tampa in Tampa. We can beat Philly in Philly. SF all bets are off but get there when we get there

Probably not because it would be a result of the new 7 team format.

But it's honestly how I see things going.

1. SF
2. PHI
3. DET
4. TB
5. DAL
6. SEA
7. LAR

WC
LAR over PHI
SEA over DET (though 50/50)
DAL over TB
Div
DAL hosts SEA
SF hosts LAR

I’m hoping if we land the 5 that the Rams get the 7. they will definitely beat Philly and have a chance to upset SF

I mean most of us knew this but we sure as hell don’t want to lose going into the playoffs to get the 5th seed lol.

 

[ChronicCowboy]

Honestly Tampa scares me rn. Mayfield may have turned the corner.

Commanders playing Brissett next week. Going to be tougher now
