We could still lose the 2nd seed.

[Pantherman]

As I look at the standings right now. We still could lose the 2nd seed on Sunday. You ask me how is that possible.

Well say we lose to the Falcons, but the Saints lose to the Bucs as well. So we win the division and you think we have a bye week and 2nd seed right? Not so fast. Now to the 49ers and Seahawks. If the 49ers beat the Cards and then the Seahawks lose to the Rams. 49ers win their division and they get the 1 seed because we lost to the Falcons. With 49ers having a better record then us and so would the Seahawks. 49ers would have the 1st seed and Seahawks would have the 2nd seed. There by putting us in the 3rd seed with one home game  in the WC with no bye. Botttom line if we lose to the Falcons on Sunday, but still win the division title. We better hope the 49ers lose to the Cards for us to keep that 2nd seed and the bye.

Non-division winners cannot have the 2 seed.

[Keep Pounding]

Div winners get 1-4 seeds

You have to win your division in order to be anything other than a wildcard. It is impossible for Seattle and SF to be the top 2 seeds.

Edit: you guys are fast

Division winners are from 1-4. The records from those top 4 teams of those divisions are ranked from 1-4.

 

In short, we can only lose the number 2 seed to NO by losing and them winning

[iamhubby1]

Yeah.

According to my wife, you are correct.

You could also post that When we win in ATL and San Fran wins, but the Rams beat the Seahawks, we move up to the #1 seed as we've beat the 9ers, if I recall things correctly?

Hmmm.. Really!! Maybe I didn't take that into account. I thought the teams with the 2 highest records could get the bye weeks and home field. Didn't think about that. LOL

That is 100% accurate

Shut up.  You did nothing wrong.  None of us know everything all of the time.

 

You are among friends and we do not accept your apology because it is not needed.

 

Pie just for shits and giggles, a Panther playoff berth and because it is the Christmas season.
