NFC Playoff Picture Through Week

I would take the wild card match up against the Rams in that joke of a college stadium and their soft LA fanbase in a heartbeat.  

We lost control of our own fate last week, but no one should hope for that.  A cross country trip against a physical team that’s cheap shotted us in the past?  Hell no.

I think if theres even a vague shot at getting home field atvantage then you gotta shoot for it. Win out and we have a decent shot at the 2 seed if some dominos fall the right way

Packers or Cowboys could actually sneak in if the right teams lose. Packers are going to play us hard as fug next Sunday

Damn your chicken little mentality is annoying.

With a rusty Rodgers?!? They would've had a better chance if he didn't play the Panthers defense is gonna feast on him.

If we lose to Rusty then hey it's just not our year.

[Hoenheim]

Even if we win out, if the Falcons do the same we may be playing for the division title in week 17 in their stadium. ugh.

At home that would be even dumber than the Bears loss.

if youve watched the packers lately they are nt scrubs even without rodgers. They have some talent on the roster .

Hell at least our games is going to be talked about alot this week , since Rodgers is probably expected to come back and the Packers haven't been eliminated from sneaking into the playoffs.

Because of the weird tiebreaking procedures if us Vikings and Rams all finish 12-4 we drop to 4th see even if we win the division. If the saints finish 12-4 then we lose the division and become the 5th seed.

Only way we can have a first round bye is Saints, Vikings and Rams all losing 1 more game. 

Otherwise we could fall to as low as the 5th seed even if we win out. 

Also a chance if we lose 1 game we are out. 

Too much to explain but check out the ESPN playoff machine and there is a ton of ways this thing can shake out.

Eagles vs Giants (Want the Eagles to win)

Can you explain this one? Is it because they are assured #1 seed and an eagles win helps our SoS?

Interesting, so the big game next week is going to be the Hawks and Rams.  If we think we have a shot at the #2, we'd be pulling for the Hawks, but they could easily be replacing us in the playoffs if we lose 1 more game.

Yes. Plus we still need Vikings and Saints to drop 1 more. If that happens and we can win out  we’ve got the # 2 seed.
