7 seed scenarios

[Jayinem]

The most likely order of who we face are

1. Minnesota or Green Bay, whoever wins tonight
2. Rams
3. Seattle
4. New Orleans
5. Tampa Bay

But I hate getting ahead of myself, still have to beat Washington on the road.

 

[mldardy]

That means nothing. Saints need all sorts of help. Way more than Seattle needs

Oh ok. I thought you meant which team had a better shot at winning next week. Yeah the Saints need help but not as much as you think. Seattle can lose to Arizona and GB/Minn can lose to either of their opponents. I think that's all they need of course they need to win too.

If SF beats the rams I think that’s who we get

Green bay don’t look terrible either… can run the ball.. have a mobile qb and have a decent set of wideouts. Won’t be a cake walk against anyone…. We have to be on our A game

They're playing the Vikings and their 3rd string rookie QB. Cmon man stop.

 

[okstateCowboy]

Would prefer Green Bay or Minny over the other options, but we should beat all of these teams at home. If we can’t, we weren’t going anywhere anyway

 

[Mannix]

Green Bay is scary....especially on a fast track...they do something that we NEVER do, and that is LET all of their WR's play...they have some good ones. I fear a match up with them....especially knowing that they will somehow get 40,000 into AT&T making as much noise as our own.

 

[mldardy]

Green Bay is not scary. Not even close

 

[NDGAEDE]

We wipe the floor with either GB or Minn at home.

 

[Playmaker3128]

Im just saying it’s about matchups on the nfl. We aren’t exactly a team that’s gone into playoff games and imposed our will… if anything we play down to competition…
Make mistakes or have slow starts. Until they prove otherwise I’m going to be cautious

When was that?

 

[Bobhaze]

Assuming Dallas wins next week- they’ll have the 2 seed

What scenarios are there for the 7 seed for our first round matchup?

Honestly I don’t care who we play. Just win. From here on, win.

 

[Jayinem]

Not automatically. I think only Minnesota or Green Bay holds the tiebreaker over Rams so whoever wins tonight has to win next week.

 

[Playmaker3128]

When was that?

I’m saying we aren’t a team that should be taking any team lightly. With how up and down we can play at times.

 

[gmb1]

I thought the Rams were locked into the 6th seed?

But you said we play down to the competition in playoff games. Of the recent playoff games we've lost have been on the road or to a team equal or slightly better like the Niners at home.

 

[Jayinem]

I thought the Rams were locked into the 6th seed?

Nope

Green Bay wins tonight, Green Bay wins next week, Rams lose. Green Bay #6 Rams #7
Minnesota wins tonight, Minnesota wins next week, Rams lose. Minnesota #6 Rams #7

 

[stilltheguru]

If we play green Bay and don't smash them after everything Aaron Jones has done during and after plays against us.............soft!

 

[Jayinem]

I don't see Minnesota coming back from 17-3 with this QB.

 

[Silverz1972]

The packers / seahawks tie breaker could down to wins vs common opponents.
