Do we want to matchup with Philly or Minny?

I'm thinking I'd rather the 4-seed and give Nick Foles nightmare flashbacks of the last time he faced us at home in the playoffs.
7

Minny def > Philly def

I rather be 4 than 3.
I'll take my chances with Philly.

I'd rather the 3 seed. You're guaranteed home if you make it to the NFC championship and the other top seed gets beat in the divisional round.

But do you think it's easier to get to the NFC championship by going through Minnesota or Philadelphia?

I think Philly is the easier game to win for sure.

The only problem with Philly is it is an outdoor stadium. So the game could be highly influenced by weather instead of just general play on the field.

With the saints running game I would take that risk.
Like I said though this is about getting to the Superbowl, and I think the best way to get there is as the 3 seed. Getting a home game in the championship game would be huge.

Which would be great for our running game.

Honestly, I think we’re built for outdoors. Great running game and good to great D.

why dont we win our 1st playoff game then we can worry about Minny or Philly

It may just be me, but I see Philly as the obvious weaker team. Minnesota is better at defense and I still believe the loss of Wentz for the Eagles is huge. I think our defense would be much stronger against them. Would love to see LA and Minnesota battle it out separately on that side....but I think the 4 seed is better than a 3 this year.

Philly won't handle our run game, and Lattimore, Crawley et All will take care of that pass game!

Can we get by the Panthers first??

Yep. I would like to see the playoffs go as is:
1) Eagles BYE
2) Vikings BYE
3) Rams host 6) Falcons
4) Saints host 5) Panthers
Saints win and likely go to Eagles (unless Falcons upset Rams and then we go MIN). In that scenario, we go to MIN and then go to PHI for NFC Title or could host ATL.
More likely, we go to PHI for Divisional Round. I think we win that. Rams would go to MIN and I think that would be an amazing game. They both beat us so no matter what it is not the road seeking revenge. Both of those teams scare me. But, at least on the PHI side we only have to beat one of them.
As it stands, I have a Minnesota-Pittsburg Super Bowl with the Vikings winning their first one at home.

Nah, I don't actually have to play them so I'm cool with looking ahead.

Still think weather could make the game a toss up and not determined by actual team strength.

Another thing to consider is the Rams are 7-1 on the road this season and only 4-3 at home. Yes, they beat us in L.A., but we didn't have Lattimore.
If they can take out Minnesota to host the NFCCG (assuming we win the WC and Divisional round) I like our chances.

I agree 100%
Our Wild Card game won't be easy though. Probably going to be a thriller once again
