You're only given a little spark of madness. You mustn't lose it. — Robin Williams
Most likely the Rams. Hope ATL and LAR beat each other to a bloody pulp. Rams rested their guys against SF to they've had their week of rest.
Tough to beat a good team twice the same year, and we haven't had a good team challenge us in about a month. Glad we are home, crowd needs to shatter the glass when LA is on offense. I think NO can beat Philly, then we host the NFCC.

It's the NFL. Who knows? I thought the Saints would definitely take care of a depleted TB team that had nothing to play for while the Saints still needed to win to take the NFC South. Saints lost.
Surely, Baltimore would beat Cinci to get themselves into the playoffs with Cinci having nothing to play for. Wrong again.
There was Seattle at home against Arizona with Arizona having nothing to play for. Of course, Arizona won.
They may not be the same team they were last year, but Atlanta still has a legit shot to beat the Rams. Then they would play Philly.
N.O. should beat Carolina in N.O., but I won't be shocked if Carolina wins.
The nice thing is... we're familiar with all the teams we could potentially face in the divisional round. Probably makes it a bit easier to game plan and self-scout since we've already played the Rams, Saints, and Panthers.
holy hell—im already nervous! its just a game...its just a game...its just a game. im whole and complete without football in my life, right? RIGHT? lol. ahhhh f*ck bring it on!!!

I'm pretty much resigned to the idea of heart break when we lose to Philly (sorry)...

I'm pretty much resigned to the idea of heart break when we lose to Philly (sorry)...The team that scares me most in the NFC is Carolina. They are so unpredictable with Cam at QB. They can suck or they can be dynamic. But I think we can handle them at home. I think we can handle any of the NFC teams at home. Rams rely on coaches reading the D for the young QB, our noise really put an end to that. NO will max protect and the offense will be a shell of what they are at home. Atlanta is the least scary. Zimmer owns them.
I wouldn't bury the Eagles quite yet. If seeds hold form, as they did last year in the wildcard round, the Saints could have some real issues handling Philadelphia's front 7 on defense in the divisional round. If the Eagles can keep the score low, they can win.
