Remaining Saints schedule

not the easiest, that's for sure. It definitely look like we will be fighting them for the top seed, though. Monday Night will be huge.

I'm just glad we get them at our house. We should win, and assuming we do, there's a good chance both the Saints and the Seahawks finish with the same number of wins, and our win over them is the only thing giving us the #1 seed. How great would it be to kick them out of the playoffs in the NFCCG in our house? A little extra revenge for all the cracks about us not being playoff-worthy when we hosted then with a 7-9 record...

:devil:

I think they lose to N.E. and us for sure. Then possibly Atlanta and / or SF.

The battle for HFA is going to be very tight and unforgiving in the NFC.

We certainly can't stumble against a lesser opponent. We might have to go 13-3 to get home field.

We need to beat Tennessee first.....

More worried about SF and their soft schedule. Looks like we may have to pull off that W on the road in the bay to secure HF.

 

[UK_Seahawk]

Lets worry about 1 and 0 each week.

These are examples of bad posts.

Agree w/ MidwestHawker above. we are not players who's sole job is to focus on the next game.

we are fans on a message board - we are here to discuss the big picture, speculation, other teams, etc... that's what this board is for. This is a very relevant thread.

I for one am worried about the Saints and really hope Gronk is back this week so NE can beat them on Sunday. We have to be no more than 1 game back of them on Dec. 2nd when they come to town.

?
Remaining schedules of both teams are relatively the same.
Except
Hawks: Vikings (1 - 3) / Giants (0 - 5) / Rams (2 - 3)
49ers: Jags in London ( 0 - 5) / Panthers ( 1- 3 ) / Skins (1 - 3)

Only other difference worth noting is Hawks get he 5 - 0 Saints at home, 49ers have them away in their dome. 49ers have the 1 - 3 Falcons at home, Hawks away in their dome.

So not sure where how one schedule is anymore soft than the other, let alone the 49ers being more soft?

I agree. As much as I dislike the 49ers, they SHOULD win their next 4 games. Then they are at the Saints - which would be big either way that game goes...

GO HAWKS!

I agree with you, but then I don't...

The NO game at home is more critical for us in terms of tie breakers as we have already beaten SF once. A loss to them would not hurt home field advantage like losing to NO at home would. SF are already behind the 8-ball with their two losses. Beating SF would be awesome, but would not necessarily ruin our HFA.

Let's pray for New England to beat New Orleans in Foxboro, and SF to lose to NO in the Who Dat Palace, and us to beat NO at the Clink, then we are golden. :mrgreen:

Edit: And we only can lose one more game...

Might? The #1 seed is almost always at least 13-3. With New Orleans trying to take over the league in revenge for the Bountygate penalties, we might have to go 15-1 to get the #1 seed, lol.

Those tie-breaking games in NO and SF are going to be crucial.

IMO 13-3 at the end of the season is the worst we can do to obtain that HFA, but until then, 1-0 each week boys. :snack:

 

[lukerguy]

Nice that they have a full week and a half to prepare for us.

 

[drdiags]

Come on man!

NFL Forum. Okay, sorry about that. But the Saints are weeks off and you may as well put up the schedule for all the NFC teams because you have no idea which ones will be relevant come week 8 and week 12.

 

[Hawk n Load]

I'd like the #1 seed, but it isn't as important anymore, not the way this team plays on the road.

A #2 seed would be fine, IMO. That is, it's not the end of the world if this team goes 13-3 and finishes second to the Saints. It just makes the NFC championship game a little more interesting. We'd still have a bye week and a home game. And our smash-mouth team can beat anyone on the road, now.

And...the #1 seed plays the lowest seed, but that is usually the hottest wild-card team. The Saints will be beat up, and might even get upset before they get to us.

I love all the "for sures" I see out there. NE doesn't look that great. THe Cleveland Browns have score more points this season than NE has. That's a "for sure" loss for the Saints ?

Atlanta looks to be in trouble. I'm not sure they can beat the Saints. Carolina might have a better shot at beating them this year. The good news is that I also think that the Atlanta away game for us looks a lot more winnable now.

They get all the best teams, except us, at home. Dallas and SF get to go there (also a bonus...they could hang a loss on the Niners).

I see MAYBE 3 losses, and we better be one of them. I have a feeling we're going to need a h2h win against them if we want HFA.
