Sorry, this is one simple question that I don't know.

Can we still have a better record than the number 2 seed at the end of the season and still not have a first round bye?

We cannot get the 2 seed unless we win the division. Top 4 seeds go to the division winners, regardless of record.

They were considering allowing a wild card team to have a home game this past offseason. Not sure if that went through or not.

Only if the Giants tank their last 4 games and we win out.

That's going to be hard..

That means some how we would have to be the #5 seed hosting the #6 seed.

Has that even happened before?

Would we have to be a wild card team, with a better record than the team we would play in the first week right??

Wildcards cant win home games OR first round bye.

The only home game possibility is if the 5th seed plays the 6th seed, which would mean they are both in the conference championship game.

Nope. A division winner with a worse record will still get the home game.

Can someone let Jacobs borrow Plax' gun then? Nothin' fatal or even career ending, a graze that requires 2 weeks rest would do (and no else harmed of course).

Just sayin...

If you want to play a home game, you HAVE to win your division, at the very least. No ifs, ands, or buts.

Yes-they flirted with the idea that if the 2 WC teams have better records than 2 of the division winners with the worst records, then they will have a higher seeding than them, but it didn't pan out.

Eli is the key to their team.

As is Steve Spagnuola and Jerry Reece...just saying.
Eli only has 8 INTs all yer. 3 of them were in the Browns loss.

He is the key to beating the Giants.

Ok so the bullet goes through Jacobs left pinkie into Eli's right pinkie? I mean he's no Romo...

Fair 'nough?

Just do not see the Giants collapsing which is what it would take. They would have to lose three of their last 4 and we win out. Not even sure then that we would get the tie breaker over them.
