Bears and Panthers. I realize that the Panthers lost to the Skins today, but then, we lost to them as well. I still think Carolina is a dangerous team if they make the playoffs.
I think the Bears have a better record than they should given their talent, but the NFC will go through Chicago, so we'll have to beat them in their house.

both. Saints because of their offense. Bears because of their defense. Pick your poison. With all regards to our newfound hero Tony Romo, I think Drew Brees is the best QB in the league right now, and it's just scary to face him.

I agree that we seem to have their number, but teams can be dangerous in that situation. Look at the Commanders, we beat them almost a dozen times in a row, and then we flat give them a game. I would be confident going into a Panthers-Cowboys game, but I do think they are a dangerous opponent.

Chicago is still very scary, in my mind. Sure, Grossman is prone to turn the ball over on the road. But I doubt we'll be facing them at Texas Stadium.
That defense, though, is something serious. If they can make Brady turn the ball over, as much as I like Romo, I'm sure they can confuse him a few times.
As for the rest of the conference, pfft. Any time could bite us any given night in a playoff game. The Saints' offense is very talented and their defense comes to play at times. As mentioned earlier, Carolina has had our number in the playoffs. And you never know if Seattle gains some steam with Hasselbeck back in the lineup.
With that said, I wouldn't 'fear' any of those teams. I would recognize the possibility of a loss, but I would probably expect a win.

I see in Grossman someone who can't overcome. I don't know but there is something about him that rubs me strange. I just don't think he is a winner and that wears on a team. If any team can understand we can. I would be more scared of the Bears with Griesse than Grossman.
All the turnovers the bears got were on the RB's and WR's from what I saw. Stupid stuff like not wrapping up or tipping the pass in the air. One of the Brady throws was high so that's prolly on him.
Saints have holes on defense and I think our defense has the speed to match up with them pretty well.
I have a feeling the team to worry about may be Seattle once healthy.

don't forget Seattle, who is getting healthy and is in the worst division in the NFL.

Getting Hasselback and Alexander back arent going to help their defense from sucking.

Have you seen Alexander run lately? He looks horrible.
I don't know if it's the injury or what, but he is running
scared, and he doesn't look anything close to
how he looked last year as the MVP.
Seattle doesn't worry me at all.

Assuming he's really healthy, I expect Alexander to improve heading into the playoffs. And in that division, they may be able to give him a week off in week 17.
I'm not saying they're great, but the Seahawks do constitute a threat. Outside of SD and a Denver team which apparently will now have a rook QB, their schedule is damn easy.
We can beat the Saints to take that tiebreaker, just like we took it from CAR. We can't take it from SEA, we have to rely on NFC record(right?), where they currently carry a 1 game lead.
Assuming they beat GB tomorrow, and their only loss down the stretch is to SD(AFC team)....then we would have to run the table to grab the tiebreaker from them.
Now I love Romo and I know it's possible, but the odds are stacked against us running the table. Statistics say we should lose atleast one of those games, which means we'd need two SEA losses.
Am I right here?

Seattle is 6-4 right now so if they win would be tied with us. Tiebreaker would be strength of schedule, which we should win, or common opponents.
Common teams are:
Cardinals Beat 21-10 and play them again
Bucs have not played yet.
Seattle has some tough games coming up.
vs GREEN BAY PACKERS Dec 03 1:15pm
@ DENVER BRONCOS Dec 10 1:05pm
@ ARIZONA CARDINALS Dec 14 5:00pm
vs SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS Dec 24 1:00pm
vs SAN DIEGO CHARGERS Dec 31 10:00am
@ TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS
