    up until the last few weeks of the season when the injury bug hit the eagles, i thought they were clearly the best team in the NFC--and they still might be--i'm just not as confident about their team as i was before the lane johnson, hurts, sweat injuries. to me, the NFC feels wide open. i think the strongest 3 NFC teams (in no particular order) are the eagles, cowboys and 9ers

    @Enigma even with the game being in tampa, i'll be very surprised if the cowboys lose to the buccaneers. i just feel like the cowboys have clearly been more consistent than tampa this season. tampa has obviously not been that good this year and pretty much backed into the playoffs. but are you concerned with all these picks dak is throwing?

    @Worm congrats on your Fins making it back to the playoffs. you gotta go up against @Detroit24 Bill's in a good ol division rivalry. who wins this one? thoughts?

    i think the dolphins if healthy can keep it close but I expect the bills to win. I really like the dolphins coach, think he’s solid. I’m sure his game plan will be on point

    not sure who will be dolphins qb will be…tyreek hill will be a problem…both games were tight…no tua would be huge,..my prediction is 31-24 bills

    i think bills momentum and storyline of Hamlin makes them a team of destiny…

    49ers v bills Super Bowl is my pick

    @TimmyT how do you feel about your matchup against the giants? Beat them a few weeks ago by 3…I think it will be another close one…but I expect Vikings to pull it off

    do you think having all these close games / comebacks are a positive heading into playoffs or show some flaws and vulnerability in your team?

    I find it interesting how some nfl analysts really don’t believe in Vikings and I see some having giants upsetting them in first rd

    i think Vikings deserve more credit for all those Ws…12-3 especially in fashion they did it in some of those games

    Feel bad for Lovie too. Dude isnt the long term answer but:
    -he had an awful roster to work with
    -it's not like we are firing him to parlay into some coveted coordinator or former coach

    Team is gonna be s--- for at least another 3-4 years anyway.

    If Tua doesn't play, which I doubt he will, Fins are getting stomped out embarrassingly

    ya i don’t know why they fired him, I feel like he would be a good coach to have for rebuilding process…you guys have some nice pieces and had some competitive games…

    are you Locked in for drafting a qb? Or best player available…

    bears aren’t drafting a qb so you will have good options

    I expect Bryce young or cj stroud to the Texans…#1 Pick will probably be DL Carter from georgia

    you guys do have the #12 pick too, get a solid OL

    They’ll lose, regardless. The dolphins in the playoffs lol what a joke. Hill and Waddle clearly bailed the dolphins out this season. And Tua is one hit away from early retirement.

    Bears will almost certainly trade the #1 pick, Texans might hafta trade for it if they have a strong preference in one of the top 2 QB’s. This is considered a very very good QB class, especially with the top 2 so at the very least it isn’t like they crippled themselves out of getting a generational prospect on paper.

    As far as Lovie goes it was definitely unfair to expect him to do much with that roster but he also really didn’t deserve another shot at head coaching anyway, so he knew what he was signing up for and did it anyway because it was literally all he could get, and more than he deserved

    Even with as good as Young and Stroud are supposed to be, we'll just run them into the ground or make them demand a trade.

    Tommy Boy for an owner, clueless gm, and now the fourth head coach in four seasons. Unless the Texans somehow land a great new hc and draft the rignt qb, we are beyond f-----.

    i think all the close victories is a positive/good thing. but i'll be honest, i'm not that confident heading into the playoffs. i do think the vikings will win, but i won't be surprised if the giants upset us. daniel jones has played well lately

    plus, the vikings are for sure going to be without one starter on the offensive line and if bradbury can't play, they'll be without two. we recently lost brian oneil for the season and he's our best lineman. kirk is obviously a traditional, pocket QB. in other words...he's not one of those QB's like kyler murray that can buy time and make a play when his offensive line collapses. he needs time to stand in there and make throws the old-fashioned way.

    as far as bills vs. dolphins, i agree with what worm said. if tua doesn't play, and he probably won't, i think your bills will win comfortably. it's kind of bittersweet for the dolphins because they get back to the playoffs, but it's obviously going to be hard to compete when you're missing your starting QB

    Cowbots should come out as slight favorites vs the Bucs but wouldn’t surprise me at all if we lose this game. I’m just not very confident in this team going into the playoffs. The injury bug bit the defense bad (in particular the secondary) with two of our starting CBs out for the season. Lawrence & Parsons have both been playing hurt. This defensive unit isn’t the unit that was dominating earlier in the season.

    The offense is entirely reliant on Dak Prescott & CerDee Lamb. Lamb is the only above replacement level WR on this team & it shows. Kellen Moore has reverted the offense back to being a run heavy offense like it was under Jason Garrett for god knows what reason. This entire season has been consistent of: 1st down, run, 2nd down, run, 3rd down, Dak please save us. Luckily Dak has been good enough to make up for the lack luster play-calling but some times he has off days (like he did last week vs Washington) & the offense is totally inept.

    That being said, I think we squeak out a close one vs the Bucs. Don’t expect to make it further than the divisional round baring a big upset in the other games that gives the Cowboys a favorable match up.

    Crazy that both players who led the league in interceptions both missed 5+ games.

    Naw I could easily take Tua. My coordination and reflexes would be quicker, when he hits his head on the ground again because he doesn’t know how to fall when tackled.
