My playoff predictions

[Nate Dogg]

The outcome of tonight's crazy game had huge playoff implications. Now that the Lions have choked once again, mark my words, the Packers will sneak into the NFCN division winner spot. This means the most likely scenario for the wild card teams are a road trip to Philly or Green Bay. This makes Sunday's show down with the Saints even bigger. I guess our chances in Philly aren't too bad, but I definitely wouldn't want to take on Rodgers in Lambo mid January.

 

However, if we win this game the wild card teams would be New Orleans and San Fran. They would have to go on the road and win a tough match up, and then come into Carolina. SF/NO could get upset on the road which would be the best case scenario. But even if they get it done, we still would get one of them in a home game. And who knows, one of them could get by the first round and then upset Seattle at home giving us home field throughout.

 

This is the first time in a long time the NFC is hands down stronger than the AFC. Sunday against the Saints is the biggest game for us in the last 5 years. A win drastically increases our Super Bowl chances. Buckle up boys! It's gonna be a wild one!

i was more worried about the Lions than the Bears/injured Packers have you seen their defenses?

[CatZilla]

so i was glad for the lions loss

Hard to predict, but the most likely first game we play will be at home vs. Philly imo.

you really think new orleans or san fran would lose to philly even on the road?

i pray dallas miraculously wins out and takes the division and has to come play us with that defense.

the only scenario we play dallas is as a wild card on the road

[TrueBlackandBlue]

Yeah I don't know how we'd match up against Megatron. Even with Rodgers, Packers will have to rely on Lacy cause their WR corps is hurt.

I can see us going up there and punching them in the mouth like we did SF.

[TheGreatestOfAllTimeCam]

I guarantee the Cowboys win that division and make the playoffs. Philly will lose to Chicago and then the finale to dallas and finish 8-8, dallas will get in.

 

Also I think if we went to Lambeau it would be a fun game for us. Green Bay isn't all that scary...cam in the cold.... would make for good building of the legend.

 

We win sunday it's all moot.

i meant i want them to win until we play them and then we beat them 93-0

Im glad you made this thread because I have a question for anyone who knows. Say we win the NFCs with a 1st round bye, we win the first playoff game and somehow the Seahawks lose in the playoffs, would the team that beat the Seahawks have to come to Charlotte to play us? In other words, with us getting a first round bye and Seattle losing their playoff game say for example to the 49ers, would the 49ers have to come to Charlotte?

Yes the higher seed gets the home game. So if San Fran or NO was to go in and win they would have to come to us. If Seattle wins then we would have to go there assuming we win.

I want San Fran to win the WC card round, go into Seattle and beat them and San Fran come to us for the NFC championship game, I know we would win! Just the thought we have a chance of hosting a NFC championship game is amazing.
