Saints or Eagles -- Who Do You Want on Jan. 11?

With the Eagles finally finishing off the Cowboys tonight, the playoff seedings are finally set. The Seahawks as the #1 Seed play the winner of the #3 Seed (Eagles) and #6 Seed (Saints) Wild Card Game this next weekend.

So, given your druthers, WHO would you want to face in that 2nd Round Divisional Game at Century Link on Jan. 11th ... and WHY?

As for me, though there's a piece of me that's a bit nervous about the prospect of seeing these guys again, I'd like another crack at the Saints. Starting with their loss to the Hawks on December 2nd, the Saints lost 3 of their final 5 games. In the regular season, they allowed an average of 4.6 Yards/Rush (tied for 27th in that category) and an average of 114.1 Rushing Yards/Game (19th). It sure seems like Carroll and the rest of the Seattle coaching staff have got the blueprint on how to attack both the Saints offense and defense.

That's me though. Who do you guys want to square off against ... and why?

Honest to God, hand to heart, there's not a single NFC team I fear in our house in January. Not. One.

I believe we'll play the winner of the packers-9er's game?

C'mon, man. You of all people should know it is impossible for the Hawks to play the Eagles in Divisional Round.

You're smart.

I'm with you bro -- we're on the same wavelength there. But for me, I'm looking for the easiest path to the Met Life Stadium. Enough of these nailbiters -- I want a whooping. So, who would you want to see?

Eagles are the only team we CANNOT PLAY.

It will be Saints of they win. If Eagles win it will be winner of SF/GB.

We want Saints.

Let Packers/9ers pound away @ Carolina first for the right to lose to us

so much fail in this thread

Plus, ideally we want a team on its 2nd consecutive road game

Edit to Add -- Scratch that. I misread that bracket seeding. You're exactly correct. Nevermind.

My parts were good

Actually, it's not that cut and dried. We will play the lowest remaining seed after next Sunday. If Philly (#3) wins, we'd play the winner of the #4-#5 game, which puts GB and SF in play, too. Remember, record means nothing, seeding means all.

The teams we won't face are GB or Carolina.

My druthers? Probably the Saints.

But I'm with Todd. Since we had our token loss at home already, I fear no one.

Read underneath the brackets:

*The highest-seeded team in each division is guaranteed to play the lowest-seeded advancing team from the wild card round.

I miss the days of wondering if Bob Spitulski and Orlando Watters would be on our team next year. Now I have to wonder how we can face the 3rd seed team as the 1st seed in the Div round. Mind blown.

Please get your shit together!!!!

The Packers are a higher seed than Philly.


Your information is INCORTECT!!!!

Saints, all they will be thinking about is the last beat down...

As I wrote, please disregard this thread. I misread the bracket seedings. The Eagles are the one team Seattle can't face. My bad.

Request for the moderators -- can you guys go ahead and delete this thread?
