I glad you have that figured out.  I think losing to Philly really screwed things up for N.O. because their seeding is in the balance.  Worse case scenario is they fall to 3rd seed as the NFCE winner will automatically be 4th but it's much tougher road at 3rd seed than the first. 

Yeah, after looking at the Rams (and Seattle but I think the Rams beat them), it becomes apparent that NO is now in a squeeze due to the Philly loss. For our draft pick, that was a good thing because it took the NO beats KC and GB loses to TN and NO has a 2 game lead off the table. That was our big worry. The Rams play Arizona week 17, who likely are still going for a WC, so not a gimme so NO will want to win even if tied with the Rams. NO doesn’t want the 3 seed, that would be really tough especially if Brees isn’t ready or hits a setback.

OK I'm officially dizzy.

I wasn't expecting Philly to upset N.O. but not surprised as this season has been weird.   The playoff seeding will be difficult outside of the NFCE.

The NFC playoffs are going to be fun to watch.  Anyone can beat anyone.  No team has it all.  New Orleans probably has the most talent.

Agreed. Everyone is screaming about MLB because they have PTSD from how bad Whitehead was earlier this season, but IMO CB and FS are our bigger defensive needs right now. Carter isn't great, but he's plenty serviceable at MLB. He's better at MLB than anyone we have at CB or FS.

100% agree with both of you. There’s still a false narrative that our LBs are Whitehead awful and that Douglas is an amazing CB.

The biggest improvement we would see is if we got a shutdown CB.

Lol. It’s a lot. Just suffice it to say that really funky poo has to happen (especially because the Rams/Seahawks play each other) for NO to not want to beat us or losing to us being very bad for them.

With a healthy Brees, I think they are the best but having to win at LA and at GB and then KC could derail them. Beating GB or LA at home would be far easier.

I think outside KC, there’s a ton of parity and the playoffs are going to be a lot of fun to watch, without worry again. :(

I also think with Brees being out for so long he's going to be rusty.  I think he'll play against us.

i think we win 1 of 3 and screw ourselves in the draft. 

The only people that are worried about draft position are the fans.  

I think we'll be competitive and if we get a couple defensive stops who knows what will happen.

We are playing 3 playoff teams and as noted above all of them are going to be playing for playoff position.

Green Bay wants to hold onto the top spot.

Washington is trying to hold off NYG and Philly (Surprising enough)

If New Orleans gives us the game they end up the 3rd seed and that's will be a tough road for them.  So they'll play.  

I don't think any of these teams are going to give us away.

      Edge Rushers

      By Basbear · Posted

      These last couple playoff/championship games for the edge class will mean millions. Someone will have a big game and become the favorite top edge. Everything is on the line for the edge group now.

      What Are Your Top Offseason Targets Now That Bryce Young Is Showing Promise?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Because he's not the best prospect in the draft, he's the best college player in the draft, and those are two entirely different things. Yes, if he focused on one side, his stats may have been better, but stats aren't what makes a player's prospects, it's their abilities and how they translate to the next level. I'm also not knocking him as a prospect, not like I'm saying he's a mid round pick, he's just probably the 2nd best CB and 3rd best WR, in what way is that throwing shade on him?  It's literally saying he's a Top 10 pick, just not THE top prospect at his position(s).  I really don't get why you think someone saying a player is the 2nd best player at one position and 2nd or 3rd best at another position is hating on them, it's crazy talk. Even in your defense of him here, you say a just asinine sentence, "he's the #1 rated prospect because he's actually elite at both positions" His ability at 2 positions has 0% bearing on his NFL prospects, as no team is going to use him full time both ways, he's either going to be a full time WR, or a mostly full time CB who gets 5 or so snaps a game on offense.   So him playing both positions shouldn't factor into any team's draft evaluation of him, if a team is taking him over Johnson because of the few snaps he'd play on offense, they're choosing a player for the wrong reason.  The only way I'm taking him over T-Mac is if it's a team that already has a true outside #1 and what they need is speed in the slot to compliment the outside guy (and btw, most teams don't have that, if anything, most would have the slot guy and need the true outside #1).
