Well, we can kiss the NFC South Championship good bye. We have a better chance of winning the Super Bowl than beating the Saints in New Orleans…
I thought we already clinched the title based on head to head points with ATL?
If they win (over a woeful STL team) and we lose (against a NO team that LOVES to play spoiler to us), they’ll win the division via 8-4 conference mark versus our 7-5.

I strongly suggest that our entire fanbase convert to Rams fans stat and pray for a miracle or our season is wasted. No way we win 2 (or 3) road games to get to the SB. Not this 3-4 road team.

Too bad those woeful Rams just lost a 13 pt lead to my semi-woeful Niners in the 4th quarter yesterday. If you’re going to be pray, you’ll need a young priest and an old priest.

UPDATED Panther playoff picture
Two or five.
Those are the only two NFC playoff seeds remaining that Carolina can be. And they’re not bad numbers – not No.1, as Carolina would have been had John Kasay’s 50-yarder gone in, but not terrible, either.
Here’s the deal for Carolina: Sunday’s game at New Orleans (out of the race, but still a dangerous spoiler) is now huge. If the Panthers win at New Orleans (8-7), they will be the No.2 seed and get all the good stuff that goes with that – a first-round playoff bye and a home playoff game Jan.10 or 11 against a foe to be determined.
That No.2 seed would also happen if Carolina (11-4) loses but Atlanta (10-5) also loses to St. Louis. But that’s not going to happen, I don’t think – St. Louis (2-13) is awful.
So here’s the No.5 seed scenario for the Panthers: Carolina loses Sunday at New Orleans to finish 11-5. Atlanta wins. At 11-5, Atlanta wins the relevant tiebreaker (better conference record) and, thus, the NFC South.
In that case, the Panthers play a week earlier in the playoffs. They would likely go to Arizona in a first-round game to face the Cardinals either Jan.3 or 4. Then they would face a much tougher road to the Super Bowl – three games to get there instead of two – and might well have to go to both Atlanta and back to Giants Stadium to make it.[/QUOTE].
gotta win. gotta win
the 2 seed gets you that week off to heal and a home game. We need Kemo
We have to win Sunday.
I’m surprised the brentrob poster hasn’t commented in this thread that we are all “bandwagon fans” because we pull for the hometown team.
This is karma getting you back for beating my broncos!
