my guess is if we lose in Oakland, that percentage goes down.....just a hunch

The good news...

being the last team in puts us in the bracket with San Fran who will definitely be easier to come out of that bracket than GBs.

Bad news...

We'd play NO in the first round.

We're not beating GB who'd we have to play anyway. What am I saying, we're not beating NO either. We need SF and maybe we can win a game.

NO has to overtake SF for the #2 spot...could happen. Not likey at the moment. Kinda like that possibility though. An extra week off could have a negative effect on an offense like NOs. More than likely wishful thinking though....the extra week to plan for us could also mean they detroy us with a coach like Payton lol.

Same record right? And SF has Pittsburgh coming up.

I think NO wins out and overtakes SF for the #2 seed...which is our best case scenario at winning a playoff game IF we get in. SF will lose again this year.

wrong again.......#6(if wins in round 1) lines up with #1 seed

they re-seed after round 1 if there is an upset....highest ranked team always get's the lowest.
