Rams on a roll...Seahawks had a leg chopped off yesterday...now what?

[jherald]

Let's say that the stars align next week and the Seahawks loss really got to them and they lose to the rolling Rams who are looking to prove a point. 

 

What all needs to happen for us to end up the #1 seed?  If we win and hawks lose, what else?

 

Before you slam me, this season has proven that anything is possible with our Panthers.

 

Thanks!

I believe we would get the #1 seed if:

 

We win in Atlanta

Seattle loses in St Louis

49ers win both tonight (against Atlanta) and next week against Arizona

 

SF would win the NFC West with a 12-4 record...tied with us.  But, we hold the tiebreaker

 

4 things have to happen....but all are VERY possible.

the 49ers would have to win out so they would win the NFC West. Then assuming we win, we will hold the tiebreaker over the 49ers and we would get the 1 seed

We win, and the Seahawks lose and the 49ers win out then we are the 1 seed and 49ers are the 2 seed.

We lost smitty. Gonna be hard to win games without him. He is our Reggie Wayne. Our leg was chopped of too

Thanks guys!  Very optimistic at this point for me.  I'm so fuggin pumped.

i'm no pooing over this idea.

 

we started the season 1-3 with a coach on the hotseat and were looking at a third non-winning season with that coach and still no winning records since '08 and moved to a team that we were happy was able to break even to a team that might have a chance at the playoffs to a team that is now looking at the #2 season and a 12 win season?

 

none of this was expected. things really fell the right way for us to get this far. i don't see why things wouldn't fall in place for us to have the #1 seed and home field advantage over the seahawks.

An article I read yesterday was talking about how crazy this last week 17 is shaping up to be. 

 

Depending on what happens next week, the 49ers could end up the #1 seed in the NFC or completely out of the playoffs.  That is freaking nuts.

Not so fast my friend....Smitty may just throw a brace on that leg and get right back out there.

Is there a way for us to get the #1 seed and for the Saints to miss the playoffs altogether?  I'll give up my firstborn, if that is one of the requirements.

STL is the weak link in this scenario and they can beat anybody. SF will take care of business for sure.
