re: We will get to NFC championship

At this point, if we win in the WC round we will be in Seattle in the divisional round, not the NFC championship. Only way this changes is if SF loses out, we beat Tampa and become the 5th seed, and Arizona wins their WC game. Then they would go to Seattle and we would go to Carolina.

The most likely scenario at this point is:

SF wins out, NO beats Tampa, Carolina beats ATL and Seattle beats STL. All of these seem the "natural" course of things.

1st - Seattle, bye
2nd - Carolina, bye
3rd - Philly (vs NO)
4th - Chi (vs SF)
5th - SF (@ Chi)
6th - NO (@ Phi)

(IMO)
SF wins in Chi. I think we would not win in Philly, but for shits n giggles lets say we do.

1st - Sea (vs NO)
2nd -Car (vs SF)
5th - SF (@Car)
6th - NO (@ Sea)

Our chances are very slim at this point. I don't see us beating any of these teams on the road.

The only NFC playoff teams (or potential teams) I see a chance of us beating on the road are Philly, Chicago, Arizona, and Dallas.
