Potential Playoff Opponents - Who Don't You Want?

[PhillyPhreak54]

Who do you NOT want to see the Eagles play in the first round?

1. Chicago - BYE
2. New Orleans - BYE
3. Philadelphia
4. Seattle
5. Dallas
6. ?

or

1. Chicago - BYE
2. New Orleans - BYE
3. Dallas
4. Seattle
5. Philadelphia
6. ?

Should the Eagles win the division then the bracket will look like the first one listed. Chicago, New Orleans and Seattle are locked into their spots. If the Eagles lose to Atlanta and Dallas beats Detroit then the Eagles get the 5th seed and will fly out to Seattle. The possible opponents in the first round for the Eagles are;

New York Giants - A team who has mailed it in. Tiki Barber admitted this week that he has mailed it in. Eli Manning is a bum, Tom Coughlin has lost the team. Basically a team in shambles.

St. Louis Rams - This might be the team who scares me the most. Their defense is shoddy but its their offense that I fear. Stephen Jackson, Marc Bulger, Torry Holt and Isaac Bruce could be a tough group to control.

Green Bay Packers - The NFL would want nothing more than to see Lord Favre in the playoffs. The Eagles fanbase should want nothing more than to see the Green Bay Packers at Lincoln Financial Field.

Seattle Seahawks - Second to the Rams this is the matchup I wouldn't want.

Carolina Panthers - Totally beatable.

Atlanta Falcons - Highly unlikely they draw the Falcons again.

So - who don't you wanna see?

Bring them ALL on. farg not wanting to play someone...if someone wants to get in our way, then we'll farg them up too. NFC is winnable. It's going to take hard fought, punch you in the mouth toughness, but anything can happen in a zesty NFC. Bring it!

Rams.  They're the only ones.

[SunMo]

doesn't matter now, it's either home against the Giants or at Seattle.

Assuming the Eagles beat the Falcons, the Eagles might be the first team to score 100 points in an NFL game against the Giants. Their defense blows.

Packers can get in if the strength of schedule thing falls their way, and they beat Chicago. So most likely it's either home to the Gints or at Seattle.

Tough call.

BRING ON THE fargING GIANTS

[Diomedes]

I'll take home vs. Eli, Plaxico, and Shockey any day.

[PhilLeeD]

Doesn't matter.  The Eagles need to win and I think could win against anybody here if they keep up the same attitude.

Probably wouldn't want to see the Giants after the game Tiki had tonight.   Them and Dallas...sick of looking at them.  Go Lions!

The Eagles were playing with house money, but now, the Giants game becomes a "lose and I'm going to kill someone" game. I had accepted the season as over, then got drawn back in, and now will burn everthing green I own if they lose this game. It's now that serious.

[The BIGSTUD]

Yeah it doesn't really matter. To get where we want to go we are going to have to win @ NO or @ Chicago. So no point in wishing for certain opponents now. The road is going to be tough regardless.

[PhillyPhreak54]

I'll take the Jints at home vs. the Seahawks on the road.

The Giants defense was piss poor again tonight. And they faced a bad Skins defense. Eagles kill the Jints at home.

[The BIGSTUD]

That playcalling by Saunders was terrible. They had essentially 2 timeouts with the 2 min warning and they threw 4 straight pass plays and nothing short or underneath.

BRING ON THE FARGING GIANTS

[MDS]

How we won't get the Giants:

Green Bay clinches strength of victory tiebreaker over N.Y. Giants if: Arizona, Detroit, Miami, Minnesota and San Francisco all win and Carolina, Houston and Tampa Bay all lose.
