what do we need to do to have a home playoff game?

[KARASMATIC444]

ok i know we would have secured homefield advantage through out if we won last night, but i am wondering what exactly needs to happen for us to have atleast 1 home game in the playoffs. i have preordered the playoff tickets and im trying to figure out if i am going to need them and what would be the probable date if i did. anyone want to take a break from the rantings and discuss this. sorry if it is in one of the million other new threads, i just dont want to read all of them as i dont need the negativity. anyhow thanks for anyone who knows this.

we win. giants lose.

Actually I think if we beat Saints we take #2 seed and should get at least 1 home game.

We just need to win this week and we'll have at least one.

And something I found out today, we've beaten the Saints SIX straight times in New Orleans. That's crazy, especially with how awful we were in '06 and '07.

how does that do anything? im sorry if im being stupid. but that just ties us up with them and they have the tie breaker. is there not w way we can have at least 1 home game without having them involved at all?

yes i remember that we usually split with them when we were not very good those years.

You're confusing homefield advantage throughout with a home playoff game.

If we win this week, we'll get a home playoff game and a bye against an unknown opponent. If we win that game and the Giants win their game, we'll play in the Meadowlands for the NFC CG. If we win that game and the Giants lose their game, then the NFC CG will be in Charlotte.

If we lose this week and Atlanta wins, we won't get any home playoff games unless we somehow manage to play the other wildcard team in the NFC CG. Our first game will be at Arizona.

Simple:

We beat NO, we get #2 seed

We lose to NO and Atlanta loses to St. Louis, we get #2 seed

We lose to NO and Atlanta wins, we get #5 seed

The #2 seed gets a first round bye and hosts the highest seeded team that survives the opening rounds.

The #5 seed goes on the road for the entire playoffs unless it happens to meet the #6 seed in the NFC championship game (which has never happened) then it will be a home game.

Just win baby.

We beat the Saints, and we play the first game of the playoffs at home, and the second as well if we win and the Giants lose their first round playoff game.

If we lose and the Falcons also lose, the same scenario applies.

Solid information in the previous posts!

Beat NO, take the #2 seed, rest and then play at home.

Lose to NO, see you in AZ.

Don't think it through any further than that for now!
