Finally 2,903 Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Last 20:NFC Super Bowl qualifiersNo. 1 seed: 12 timesNo. 2 seed: 5 timesNo. 3 seed: 1 timeNo. 4 seed: 1 timeNo. 5 seed: 1 timeNo. 6 seed: has never qualified for the Super Bowl.AFC Super Bowl qualifiersNo. 1 seed: 8 timesNo. 2 seed: 6 timesNo. 3 seed: 1 timeNo. 4 seed: 4 timesNo. 5 seed: NeverNo. 6 seed: 1 timeSUPER BOWL WINNERSNo. 1 seed: 9 timesNo. 2 seed: 6 timesNo. 3 seed: 1 timeNo. 4 seed: 2 timesNo. 5 seed: 1 timeNo. 6 seed: 1 timeStole this from a bear who stole it from a packer. It is common sense that you want a first round bye but when you look at the actual numbers it is clear that the 1 and 2 seeds have the biggest chances of success.I'd also say this makes a good argument for why the seeding should change. Getting a WC even with a better record still makes it almost impossible to win it all. A home game gives the 3rd and 4th seed a much better shot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kaptain Krazy 3,724 Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 another stat to support this post: 33-7the record of the top 2 seeds in the NFC in 2nd round games (their first after the bye). there's a BIG difference between having to win 2 vs having to win 3 games to make it to the Super Bowl. the stat of 17-3 (# of times the NFC 1 or 2 seed has made the SB) shows just how much that bye matters.

11=team 357 Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 i hope the wildcard teams get knocked out first round by the 3rd and 4th seeds..id love to play seattle or st louis again, then move on to chicago because we owe jay cutler for giving matt ryan his first and only lost in the dome before monday..I'm convinced that playing the Aints agives us our best chance of winning. Their classless team and classless fans have really thrown some gasoline on the fire! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DiZzY_DeCuir33 103 Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 I think we definitely need the 1 seed.... if we lose to Carolina at home on Sunday then we deserve to be a wild card. I seriously doubt we lose to the Panties simply because this regime has shown that they dont lose against teams that we are supposed to beat. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Finally 2,903 Posted January 2, 2011 Author Share Posted January 2, 2011 Today is the day. In a few short hours we will be the NFC South Division winner and the number 1 seed. It doesn't guarantee us anything going forward but it certainly helps. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
