Time for some consistency.

[shulasmyhero]

Saints are losing to the Rams this week so we can all let the epic Skins collapse go.

[Khyber53]

Yes, we're fourth in the NFC and two of the three teams ahead of us are games coming up. We're going to find out who we are and who they are between now and then.

I think we'll split with the Saints this year, and I think the Vikings will be one hell of a challenge. 

We're a better team than this board thinks and one that deserves the 7-3 record it now has. We're on pace for 11-5 and a solid run at the playoffs. That's good, that's mighty darned good as we get back Olsen and our offense gets more in the swing.

Breathe, watch, enjoy. The best of the season is still ahead of us.

Yep. We need to show consistency on OFFENSE. I think that is what you are really eluding to. Our defense has done well regularly. We need to come out and put TDs on the board. If we can’t get in the end zone we won’t go far in playoffs.

If we go 13-3 and the Eagles go 13-3 and the Vikings also go 13-3, could we possibly have the 3 way tiebreaker for the 1 seed? Head to head against the Eagles we wouldn't have obviously but the 3 way tiebreaker is different.

First of all, i doubt the Eagles will drop two more games. they play the Bears, Seahawks, Rams, Giants, Raiders, and Cowboys. I could see the Rams beating them, but please point out to me the other loss. :/ they'd have to have a Carolina @ Chicago type of game to lose another. But assuming they did... (my guess would be vs a Zeke-assisted Dallas in the finale). 

If Philadelphia loses to Oakland and Los Angeles, and the Panthers and Vikings go 13-3, the seeding will be like so:

1. Philly
2. Carolina
3. Minnesota

If Philadelphia loses to LA and Dallas, the seeding will be like so:

1. Minnesota
2. Philadelphia
3. Carolina

at least, thats what playoff predictors says

    I could be wrong. But I think the first criteria is head to head among the three. If you have lost to either of the other teams. You are out. Again, I could be wrong, cuz, that track record...but then again. I could be right.

You would be correct sir.

I don’t think a lot of people on this board think we are a bad team, but our offense hasn’t shown it can score TDs on a regular basis. Like you said, “....our offense gets more in the swing.” That’s not a guarantee.

So we'd need them to drop 3 more games to get the 1 seed.... Damn we don't have the Seahawks luck from 2014 where they lost to a team they were in a 3 way tie with but got the 1 seed due to the three way tiebreakers. Big reason they wound up in Super Bowl that year and the Pats won. Packers probably win it all that year if not for that lucky seeding.

There will be a time in the future where we miss having this level of consistency. From Cam’s playmaking abilities and Luke’s dominance on defense to even Rivera’s statuesque appearance on the sideline. This is a model NFL team that many wish they could root for.

Yes :( damn that loss to them really hurts right now

I think you have the seeding wrong. If we go 13-3 then we will have beaten the Vikings and (see below) I think Philly wins that tiebreaker in all cases. I think we’d always get the 2 seed and Minnesota would always be the 3 seed. I don’t think who Philly loses to would matter because their head to head win % would always be the best and Minnesota’s always the worst. Beating NO and Minnesota should will likely get us the 2 seed and honestly based on Dallas and Detroit losing we are all but in the playoffs without shitting the bed.

eh. i was just going by what that predictor site was saying. it, and thus I, could be wrong

    Stick to your guns. If you do happen to be wrong. Just scream louder. lol

[pantherphan96]

would be on a 4 game win streak with losses to 2 of the top 3 teams in the NFC if not for the offense shitting the bed against Chicago.

Away games against NO and ATL and our home game vs MIN will show how legit this team is.

[ItsPantone278]

Saints are limping into I tough matchup on the road against the Rams this week.

[SeoulPanther]

Consistency of results is good. Consistency of performance not as certain. I like us to make the playoffs and I like our chances playing in other teams stadiums. But one effort like Chicago in the playoffs and bye bye.
