I’m starting to wonder whether we even make the playoffs. This Sunday feels like a loss and who knows about the Jets, especially if Tua misses more time. The dolphins have desensitized me from caring too much either way.

 

Im 100% expecting Dolphins to lose Sunday in NE. Im 90% the Dolphins players are sleepwalking until their mid-January golf vacations.

 

After the Texans game, it seemed like anything was possible. We were tied for the best record in the AFC, had the tiebreaker edge over both Buffalo and Baltimore, and the Bills had been struggling, losing to the Jets and Vikings, and then playing sloppy vs the Browns and Lions, keeping those teams in the game during their saga in Detroit.

That seems like years ago now.

 

I hope Burrow plays a top game and takes down the Bills.

 

The Vikings were never as good as their record, and they barely beat the Giants in the regular season at home. It's not like they have an elite QB or stellar defense to fall back on. I don't see the Giants going into Philly and beating the Eagles. It really looks like it will probably be a Philly vs San Fran championship, which I think would be an amazing game. I really hope Brady sends the Cowboys packing, but I don't see either Tampa or Dallas as having the horses or consistency to make the big game.

In the AFC, the Bills didn't look good, but the Bengals didn't look good either. Their OL is kinda bad. That said, both were playing a third divisional game, which makes things weird. Wouldn't be surprised to see either team win, hopefully not the Bills. A Bengals and Chiefs rematch would be entertaining. Hard to see Jacksonville winning in Arrowhead. Chiefs have a better defense, better QB and much better coaching than the Chargers. Lawrence cannot have a game like that again and expect to win.

 

He will. Bills arent that good.

 

One of these remaining teams that should not be here are going to advance. Personally, there's just no way I'm counting out Tom Brady until the final seconds tick away against Dallas. I fully believe he can get it done against them tonight. I can't believe I'm rooting for him at this point. Of the remaining teams left, I'd like to see Philly, the Giants, or TB get to the Super Bowl. Seeing Cincy take it home would be cool too I guess.

 

My guess:

KC over Jax
Cinci over Buffalo
Cinci over KC

Dallas over Tampa
Philly over Giants
San Fran over Dallas
San Fran over Philly

Then finally, Cinci over San Fran in the Super Bowl.

I'm personally rooting for Jax to go all the way, then I guess I'm pulling for Philly in the NFC (don't care about the NFC, LOL). If not Jax though, then I'd like to see Burrow get a ring.

The team I dislike the most of this group? Easily Tampa, but I'm also rooting hard against the Bills since they're the sudden league sweethearts over the Hamlin situation. Plus, with Tua we would have beaten the Bills in the playoffs, so the heck with them, LOL.

 

As long as the Bills lose I'll be happy. I really want to see Josh Allen get knocked off his pedestal.

 

I also want the Bills to lose, but you guys are selling the Bills short in their game against Cinci. They're still favored to win (spread is -4). Anyway, I think the winner on the AFC side is very likely KC. NFC is harder to predict: PHI vs. SF is a tossup.

Teams I'm rooting against are Bills and SF. SF mostly because I still can't forgive them for beating Marino in 1984 and because that franchise has 5 SBs, which is tied for 2nd after the leaders NE and Pitt with 6 SBs. Ultimately, it's the number of SBs that says which franchise is best all-time and I don't want SF joining 2 others I dislike.

 

Rooting for:
Bengals, Jags, Chiefs, Giants

Rooting against:
Bills, Eagles, Cowboys

Don’t care either way:
Bucs (pretty sure they’re not going anywhere)
49ers (will root for them vs Eagles)

 

I don’t really care as long as the Bills don’t win the Super Bowl.

 

That 0-4 in SBs, and all 4 SB losses being consecutive losses for Buffalo, is one of the best stats in NFL history. Despite all our problems in the past few decades the Dolphins are still a respectable franchise: only perfect season and 2 SB wins. I hope Buffalo never wins a SB.

 

Bills=B(oy)I(I)L(ove)L(osing)S(uper Bowls)

 

Amen to that

 

Unfortunately with the Bengals OL injuries and weak corners I think even the flawed Bills team wins. Rooting on the Chiefs because no way do I want Allen in a Superbowl.

 

It's ALWAYS a delight to see the Cowboys and Jerry Jones lose, so looking forward to that. Other than them, the Bills are the obvious team I want no part of winning (or even being in). Other than that, I don't really care all that much.

 

Yup, you caught me- tonight's game was the toughest for me to pick and I went back and forth a few times. I think Dallas takes it....haven't seen the score yet though. Hopefully Dallas isn't down by 21 already, LOL.

 

It would be the other way around if they could make an extra point, lol. Brady not looking like someone I’d be pursuing for next season.

 

I wonder if this will affect the Raiders’ pursuit of Brady. After all, is Davante Adams > Godwin & Evans? Or is Josh McDaniels really that crazy?

 

yeah, but his OL is terrible now.

 

I cant see Brady going to Raiders. The whole plan was he wanted to be closer to his family in FL

 

Who knows with this team - if they play like they did against Washington, the game will be over at halftime.

 

Three starters out, including both tackles - sound familiar?

Burrow is the only qb in the league that I would bet on to overcome that line situation, but the difficulty is compounded by the fact that he has to do it for three games. I don’t see it happening.

 

I agree. He has that quick release, but still lots of injuries now.

 

I would be good with a Jags’ victory, but find myself pulling for the Chiefs - I think they have a much better chance of beating the Bills. The OL injuries for the Bengals scare me a little.

Would love to see the Giants pull off the upset here in Philly.

 

I like to see the underdogs pull off the upsets.

 

Like what’s happening in Buffalo atm.

 

Great start for the Bengals. Bills seemed stunned by the weather conditions.

 

Refs helping the Bills yet again. That was a TD.

 

Exactly my thoughts but he didn’t have control of the ball the whole way. Let’s see if there are more fishy calls.

 

So, on touchdowns from now on just keep punching the ball until the receiver gets to the bench.

 

Happy to see the Jags lose yesterday, now just need the Jills to lose today and I’m content.
