Playoff talk

[Mannix]

Sooooo.....with Detroit losing and looking shaky, it appears that they will not be getting the #1 seed. So the chances of Dallas vs Detroit and SF vs Philly look VERY slim...that being said, who can we reasonably start cheering for...or against? I'd like to hear some scenarios if anyone can figure them out this early. Obviously, we need to cheer for Seattle tonite.

Well. You want the cowboys to get the 5 seed. The top wild card.

So you root for whoever you think is the easiest out, to win the nfc south. Right now the saints are in the lead.

 

[Pompey-Cowboy]

We just gotta win ours and take what we get.

 

[Cowfan75]

Meanwhile...5-5 Saints above us. What an embarrassment that division is.

 

[loublue22]

we would be the 1 seed right now if we got in on 1st and goal at the 6

I like Dallas' playoff chances a lot more if they can get the 1 seed. They haven't even trailed at home, and they've been blowouts.

I feel a bit different about being a wild card team. All they can do is keep stacking wins and see what happens.

Also proof that the NFL seeding system is out of whack. I understand it's important to win your division. But losing teams should not host a playoff game and teams with double digit wins be forced to visit them.

The current system rewards mediocrity.

It’s stupid!

It should definitely be changed.

Yeah I can live with a division leader being force into the playoffs but to give them a home field is insane.

Huge 4 game stretch for Seattle (6-4)

Yep. Gotta win your games first. If everything else falls in place, Great.

If not, well, we will just have to win the hard way.

Exactly 'Pompey-Cowboy'

Waay too much crystal-balling and ouija-boarding here a number of CZers.
Let the season play out for another 3 to 4 games.

ABSF

Anyone but San Francisco to get HFA

 

[MysteryIceGuro]

As long as we can avoid SF at all costs, all could possibly be well. We need someone else to handle SF because clearly we can’t.

We have the potential to beat Philly and the other teams. San Francisco…that team scares me.

 

[pacy]

Huge 4 game stretch for Seattle (6-4)

San Fran
Dallas
San Fran
Philly

0-4 for them

 

[mldardy]

0-4 for them

Yeah they'll be very lucky to win one of those.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Huge 4 game stretch for Seattle (6-4)

San Fran
Dallas
San Fran
Philly

They're cooked. At best 1-3....

 

[Mannix]

My guess is that we are going to need the 6th seed to beat Detroit (#3) if we hope to avoid SF in the second round.
