Playoff scenarios ... win or lose tonight

[StickierBuns]

Don't put too much emphasis on winning this game: its the best team maybe in football playing at home. Its going to be a tough one. Minnesota only lost one game on the road this year. How competitive they are is the most important. Of course home field advantage would be amazing, but every team not the #1 seed feels the same. If its Los Angeles, so be it. Its not like they have a loud raucous crowd. It'll probably feel like a home game for Minnesota. Weather won't be a factor.

Too much angst from our long suffering fans. Its very hard to win a Super Bowl, but getting frequent opportunities is the key. Give the team some credit for them being legit this year. Short week? Lol, ok....welcome to adversity. Its not like the team hasn't faced it. 1-0 mentality: you leave the wins and the losses behind.

I really want the #1 seed and home field advantage which comes with that first round bye, BUT how often does a team coming off a bye get off to a slow start the following week. In the playoffs this could end the season rather quickly. This team may be different but if they get that bye, they better be ready to play their game from the start the following week.
