2014 NFC Playoff Seedings and 1st Round Matchups

[tyke1doe]

Here's what I'm predicting. I'm thinking the Cowboys game will be the marquee game on Sunday evening.

Carolina at Arizona will likely be the late Saturday game. Cincinnati at Indy (if Cincy loses tonight which I think they will) being the other Saturday game and Baltimore at Pittsburgh the early Sunday game.

Makes that Skins loss this season tougher to swallow, but we're 8-0 on the road so we can't say that it's unfavorable to play outside of Texas.

 

[mldardy]

We got the toughest path possible.

Pull a 97 Denver on em.

For an accident?

This has been discussed many times. They only consider head-to-head for when
1) two teams are tied, or
2) more than two teams are tied and every team has played each other

Since we're tied with Green Bay AND Seattle, our victory over Seattle doesn't come into effect. Also, Seattle could make a similar argument since they beat Green Bay. How would you use head-to-head if, for example, we beat Seattle, Seattle beat Green Bay, and Green Bay beat us? That happens a lot. Which is why head-to-head isn't used.

Hey if you want me to be a smarty pants...I'd flip a coin..LOL. It was just an innocent comment and I don't read each of the thousands of posts. I try, but humbly I submit that I fail...

Either way, still torn about the path we have to take. However, if we win out...February will be a warm month up here even if we do have tons of snow.

Cool

Any chance Suh gets suspended a game for stepping on Rodgers leg?

No

 

[FLcowboy]

For an accident?

Looked like an inadvertant step at first, until he intentionally rocked back with all his weight. he should be banned.

 

[Chuck 54]

And even if one assumes that backwards step was accidental, he felt the leg under his foot and purposely shifted his weight to step up on it.....no suspension, but clearly another intentionally dirty move.

I hope NY really wants him and let's JPP go to pay for him. I'll take JPP based on our need at DE.

The fact that Carolina is the four is garbage.

It should go by record. Cowboys should have Carolina in the first round.

Baltimore Pittsburgh is a rivalry game, so I think we get relegated to Saturday night

No

Talking about it now on SNF - league is going to review it tomorrow. Mentioned he could get suspended.

If I had to bet on it, I think he'll just get a fine. But you never know with Goodell.

 

[CT Dal Fan]

I understand what all you folks are saying about a tough path; but the rest of the NFC needs to be wary of the Cowboys.

Any other team out there average over 41 points per game in December? Regardless of the defenses they played, Dallas is unstoppable right now.

If Suh wasn't a repeat offender, a fine would be in order. However, wouldn't be shocked if he's out for a game.

 

[Chuck 54]

No way we play Saturday.
The lowest seeds get the short week in both AFC and NFC.
Carolina/Arizona on Saturday and Dallas/Detroit on Sunday.
Similar setup for the two AFC games.

Unless they've changed all the rules on me, TV doesn't get to choose which day teams play.

He stepped on NFL golden boy. Suspension!

After the spanking The commish has received, no way the NFL has the guts to suspend a guy for the playoffs for that move.

This and only this. Everyone is so worried about the Packers but the NFC needs to be worried about playing us. No one wants to see us right. We are undefeated on the road and if we go to Green Bay I believe this team will take pride in being undefeated and will definitely want to continue that at Green Bay.

Sarcasm?
