You never know. The last time that both of these teams faced in the playoffs I was 4. So not old enough to remember that game or interested in football at that time.

And yes I do think the Cowboys will lose.

The Packers get a week off but they don’t want to face off against the 49ers again. Both teams faced off earlier in the season. The 49ers had the Packers if it wasn’t for the GOD DAMN SECONDARY PLAYING AWFUL then the 49ers won that game.

@igotnopicks
Ah.

@Mikey
The team that gets the week off on the AFC is the Titans.
Also don’t the Bills have to face off against the Hoodie again. You can never stop him. You aren’t the Dolphins.

@igotnopicks
We stopped them last time. And came close at home.

Also we are playing on Nickelodeon.

I’m hoping this is the year the Bengals win a playoff game, but the Raiders looked very motivated last night. At least we’ve got Burrow back.

Depending on how things shake out, our next opponent could be Tennessee, Kansas City, Buffalo, or New England. I like our odds against the AFC East teams (no offense), which means I’m in the awkward position of rooting for the Steelers to upset the Chiefs.

Looking at the playoff picture now that it is officially finalized, I think the NFC Championship game is gonna be Tampa Vs Green Bay and the AFC Championship game is gonna be Kansas City Vs the Patriots.

I originally thought maybe a team with like a 9 and 9 record was gonna end up in one of the championship games this year, as that would really pay off how crazy this season has been, but based on seeding and the way the playoffs look, I don’t think we’re gonna get that.

@Holofan4life
Tampa is gonna beat Green Bay if it came down to it again.

The real threat in the playoffs is the 49ers.

@igotnopicks
God help us if the Super Bowl is Tampa Bay and New England. The Brady v. Belichick II coverage will be insufferable.

Dolphins is a fucking joke of a franchise. They have a head coach that really pieced things together near the end, and they decide to get rid of them? I can’t wait until next season when they get a new head coach and they post an even worse record. They totally deserve it.

@Holofan4life
The Patriots don’t have many weapons and are still in the midst of rebuilding. They didn’t lose to us and the Dolphins for no reason. AFC will be Chiefs and Bills or Chiefs and Titans IMO.

@Holofan4life
Dolphins run by inept people.

Then we look at the Giants. Who are run by even worse inept people.

@Mikey
God help us if the Pats win against the Bills and make it to the Superbowl.

@igotnopicks
Nah, I think the NFL gods care more about Brady making it again than the Patriots. Let’s be real here. It wasn’t the Patriots, it was Brady.

@Mikey
Let’s be more real Brady got lucky every time.

Or did you forget the Tuck Rule Game.

@igotnopicks
That doesn’t take away from the fact that the NFL loves seeing Brady in the big game. The Patriots were just his support.

@Mikey
Then you take Brady who gets constantly lucky and bailed out by his defense. He has weaknesses(Notably against the Saints who beat him by giving him a goose egg this season.) His weaknesses become apparent when he has no targets to throw to.

@igotnopicks
So, like every QB.

@Mikey
Pretty much worse. Watch the Saints Bucs game to get a view of him with no recievers and his only good option was Gronk(Who was double covered all game). He literally looks like someone who should retire with missed throws and him arguing like a baby. And throwing a tablet.

AB is gone so that one less target to throw too. His main target right now is Mike Evans.

Tom Brady on a bad day is still better than a lot of other quarterbacks.

@igotnopicks
He doesn’t handle adversity well. If you can get pressure on him or take away his weapons, he’s not that hard to beat. But with the Patriots, that was always a huge if. And for the most part, the Bucs are the same way. They’re otherwise solid offenses that happen to have the G.O.A.T. under center.

He wouldn’t last two weeks on a crappy team like the Jags or the Lions.

@Background Human
The Lions just bit the kneecaps off the Packers who are the 1st seed and they beat the Cards.

The Jags ruined the Colts Playoff hope and beat the Bills LOL.

Georgia has finally beaten Alabama 33-18 in the National Championship.

@Holofan4life
He’s not that good. Aaron Rodgers, Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen, Lamar Jackon all give him a run for his money.

Green Bay did pull Rodgers and other starters at halftime. The Lions did have the lead at half, but only due to Crosby missing an extra point.

@igotnopicks
And yet the Bills still made the AFC East again.

@SNESChalmers
Yeah I mean, if they had nothing to lose there’s no point risking injuries on your main line.
