Personally, I'd love to get another shot at the Niners in the first round. OOOOPSS! They've been eliminated! :D

I'm nervous about a few teams, but here they all are:

Dallas - hit or miss, but if they're a hit, watch out.
Philadelphia - revenge game from last year.
Green Bay - two weeks in a row.
New York Giants - up and down season.

Dallas. Piss poor postseason record and their recent kicking woes are too appetizing to not try and take advantage of.

Philly and Green Bay are too hot for me to look forward to play.

I want Dallas. Wade Phillips is still Wade Phillips. And there would be nothing more satisfying than some not so friendly chatter with 'turds fans.

Could not care less. We can beat any of them if we decide to show up. Personally, I would like the Cowboys as I feel that they would be the favorite and might ensure that our guys show up.

I agree that Greenbay and Philly would be tough playoff oppoents.

I would like either NYG or Dallas in the 1st.

But here is a harder question. Right now, it would appear that the Saints (who have 2 easy teams left), will be the #1 seed with MIN at #2.

Between MIN and the Saints, I think the Cards could win at the Saints, but MIN would be a revenge game for them at their house and would be very tough.

So, should the Cards be the 4th seed so they play the Saints, or should the Cards be the 3rd seed play the Vikings and hope for an upset of the Saints so the Cards could get a 2nd home playoff game?

My thoughts, I want the 4th seed as I think the Cards can beat the Saints. I think the MIN game is going to be very hard and would like to delay it for as long as possible.

The worst case would be being the 4th seed, the other wildcard game is an upset and the Cards go to MIN. The Saints get upset, and the Cards end up in PHI for the Championship game (outdoors).

would prefer not Philly, but hey, we want to be the World Champs, not just survive, so I won't complain about playing anyone.

I'd prefer the bracket through New Orleans. If NO is 15-1 its a lock we beat them.

As long as the divisional round doesn't include the cold elimates. On the road in the playoffs is tough enough, the cold just adds to the difficulty.

I hope we play Minny again.

Also, a bit of a side note. You need to fix your league where the computer picks starters. I sent you an e-mail and left a voice mail about it and never heard back. I would like to know what goes into the thinking that Pierre Garcon got put in to start over Rashard Mendenhall and TJ Housh :shrug:. That computer gaffe is going to cost me the playoffs:mulli:.

Considering that it will be MN or NO, it appears that is not going to be an issue.

Unless Philly is the number 3 seed, then the NFCC game is going through Philly, if the Cards can pull off an upset in the second round providing they win their first round game.

Philly right now is the #3 seed with upcoming games against Denver and Dallas. If we win out we could potentially take the 3 spot.

Any way I slice it we are facing GB in rd 1. Looks like there will be two back-to-back games in rd 1. I see DAL facing PHI also. Wonder if that has ever happened before? Also wonder how Whiz would approach the last game.
