Agreed.

But remember we busted seattles arse in Seattle a while back... then this year we took Green Bay out in their house.
True, But I'd still rather not be in those houses in January, or NO or NY or AT in any playoff game regardless of what our home record is. This is a team and staff that would thrive on being a number one cede, not squander it like puffball Wade.

That's not my expectations. I'm saying I want them to at least make the playoffs. Theyre not in the playoffs yet.

After 20 years it's no sb win no care but I'd be OK with a playoff appearance when we have a rookie qb.

Technically, no one is in the playoffs but after the halfway point, you can tell which teams are most likely going.

Playoffs are a done deal with our remaining schedule and this team on a roll. Even a loss won't affect these guys; that's a perk of having the young guys out there.

Personally, I think a bye is sewn up. I won't say SB, but if we finish seed 1 or 2, which isn't even close right now, then we'll have a bye week and only need one home field victory in the playoffs to be playing in the NFC championship game, possibly even hosting that one. That's incredible, and incredibly close to the SB.

All it takes is 1-2 key injuries to turn a contender into a pretender.

There's 8 more games to go.

I'm thinking Super Bowl, all the supposed elite teams in the NFC or preseason favourites don't appear all that strong ... barring major injury problems in the second half of the season I think we are positioned perfectly to take a run at the super bowl...

Yes, I am looking ahead. If you don't like it either don't read further or deal with it. :)

Seattle has road games against the Patriots and GB. They have to play the Eagles and a divisional rematch with the Cardinals.
Seattle will finish no better than 6-2 in the second half or 11-4-1.

Atlanta has road games in Philly, Los Angeles and Carolina. They also have to play the Cardinals, Chiefs and Saints. They will not finish better than 5-2 or 11-5.

Minny ain't going 7-1 no way no how.

12-4 wins the NFC this year at a minimum.

Finish 5-3 and beat the *Giants, win the NFC.

*Probably don't have to beat the Giants, but whatever. Unlikely NY goes 7-1 in the second half anyway. Wouldn't mind losing to the Giants again and then playing them at home in the playoffs for an epic beatdown.
I was thinking the same exact thing. Go 12-4 beat the Giants, home field advantage. Then I thought about Seattle and said lets just worry about the Steelers. 8-1 baby
