Idk could argue it the other way too: (1) the 4 seed means we get to run this one back and that is to our advantage bc a lot of what Arizona did won’t work and they may not have more bullets in the chamber for what we can do (2) outside of the 1 seed the playoff seeds 2-4 aren’t all that diff. If we’re gonna win it, we’re gonna do it regardless of seeding 2-4. (3) this way we get to hit Green Bay on their first game and hopefully they come out flat after their first round bye. That may make it an easier knockout than their second game when they’ve had a chance to get into playoff rhythm. Also, having to go into Green Bay for the nfc championship would be a lot of pressure on dak. (4) IF we can get past green at, then we will be well situated vs. whoever for the nfc champ. I would definitely have preferred the 2 seed vs the 4 seed, but it probably won’t be the reason we either do or do not have a good playoff run.
