The Definitive Seeding Thread

Not if Green Bay is 1 seed.

For example if we are 3 seed and win in 1st round we could go to 2 Seed Tampa in divisional round. Then Green Bay in championship.

But yea if we are 2 seed and Tampa 3 then they’d have to come to Arlington. But we’d still have to beat both Tampa and GB which to me is the much tougher road.

Right. If we're the 2 seed, the only possible road game would be @GB. All other playoff matchups would be home games.

It's also impossible with the 3 or 4 seed, but I'm just pickin nits.

It's not only possible, it's likely if we have the 3 seed. If TB and DAL are the 2-3 seeds and advance, then GB hosts the winner of the 4-5 game and we go to TB in the second round.
If TB and DAL are the 2-4 seeds and advance, and the 3 seed loses to the 6 seed, then GB hosts the 6 seed and again we go to TB

Bump. Good thread. Which means it's in danger of disappearing quickly. Have to lead off with "OMG!! DAK IS DA OVERRATED - DEFINITIVE SEEDING THREAD"

All teams seeded 2-4 host a playoff game in the first round. Thus, the chances of them playing @ anywhere in their first game is zero, i.e. impossible.

Nobody said anything about the first game.

I was responding to someone who said, "The problem with 2 or 3 seed is we could have to go to Tampa and then to Green Bay."
I noted that that's impossible with the 2 seed. You said it was also impossible with the 3 seed, but that's not true. It wouldn't involve the first round, but nobody was suggesting that: we all know the first round game would be at home, and not against TB or GB.

If DAL finishes 2-1 and beats Arizona:
I'm not going past the 2 seed the rest of the way because there are too many possibilities. I'm also not sure I've captured all the paths to the 2 seed here (and I may have made mistakes).

Paths to the 1 Seed:
1. GB goes 1-2 AND LAR does not win out AND TB does not win out.
2. GB goes 0-3 AND TB goes 2-1 AND the NFCW division winner finishes 12-5.
3. GB goes 0-3 AND TB goes 1-2 or 0-3 AND LAR does not win out.

Paths to the 2 Seed:
1. GB goes 2-1 or 3-0 AND TB goes 2-1 AND the NFCW division winner finishes 12-5.
2. GB goes 2-1 or 3-0 AND TB goes 1-2 or 0-3 AND LAR does not win out.
3. TB goes 3-0 AND GB goes 1-2 or 0-3 AND LAR does not win out.
4. TB goes 2-1 AND GB goes 0-3 AND the NFCW winner finishes 11-6 or 10-7.

If DAL loses only to Arizona:

Paths to the 1 Seed:
1. GB goes 1-2 AND ARI does not win out AND LAR does not win out AND TB does not win out.
2. GB goes 0-3 AND TB goes 2-1 AND the NFCW division winner finishes 12-5.
3. GB goes 0-3 AND TB goes 1-2 or 0-3 AND LAR wins the NFCW AND LAR does not win out.
4. GB goes 0-3 AND TB goes 1-2 or 0-3 AND ARI wins the NFCW AND ARI goes 1-2.

Paths to the 2 Seed:
1. GB goes 2-1 or 3-0 AND TB goes 2-1 AND the NFCW division winner finishes 12-5.
2. GB goes 2-1 or 3-0 AND TB goes 1-2 or 0-3 AND LAR wins the NFCW AND LAR does not win out.
3. GB goes 2-1 or 3-0 AND TB goes 1-2 or 0-3 AND ARI wins the NFCW AND ARI goes 1-2.
4. TB goes 3-0 and GB goes 1-2 AND ARI does not win out AND LAR does not win out.
5. TB goes 3-0 and GB goes 0-3 AND LAR wins the NFCW AND LAR does not win out.
6. TB goes 3-0 and GB goes 0-3 AND ARI wins the NFCW AND ARI goes 1-2.

Thanks for the work
Just typing all that would have done me in lol
