they simply cannot have a letdown game Sunday.
I think they'll be prepared for Seattle and Baltimore, knowing they're the two main opponents remaining on the schedule. My concern is Zona (mobile QB Murray plus playing a team that has nothing to lose mentality) and a surging LA team that might be in a "win and in" position in week 17. Hopefully we'll have the number one seed locked in by then and can rest our guys a bit. But I'm more concerned about those 2 games…
I'm like 99% sure the #1 seed will not be locked in by week 17. It's going to come down to the last week. The eagles, cowboys, and lions will be up our arses hoping we catch a 4th L. That's assuming the Eagles give it up this weekend because they have a patty cake schedule after the Cowboys.
The only scenario I can see it happening is where the Eagles lose to both the Cowboys and the Seahawks, the Lions lose to the Vikings once and beat the Cowboys, and we win the next 4 games. I think based on conference record that would lock up the #1 seed for us going into the final game. It's unlikely, but not that crazy.
