    Yea because the Vikings coming to philly in the playoffs ended so well last time. And in theory this time they would’ve came in with Big Game Cousins to get it done. Yea right.

    so disrespectful.

    i don't think we'll win. the vikings defense isn't as good as in past years--especially our corners. the only thing that gives me a little hope is that Cook will be back--which should hopefully bring back some balance to our offense. even if we somehow pulled out the upset--getting to the super-bowl as a sixth seed is very, very difficult. too many road games.

    I think Vikings beat philly this year 38-20 if I’m not mistaken...Philly is banged up unfortunately....had a easy schedule to end the season which helps

    I think Philly beats Seattle to be honest, both teams banged up, perfect matchup

    i agree with you on it being a low scoring game. i'm gonna pick the texans to win, but i'm not confident in that prediction. i'm mostly going with them because they're at home and i like their QB more.

    these wildcard games are very interesting IMO--especially houston vs. buffalo and seattle vs. philly. h---, the titans may even pull the upset because they can run the ball and that's what the pats aren't so great at defending.

    i'm looking forward to this weekend!

    And the Dolphins beat the Patriots yesterday. That game in October couldn’t be any more irrelevant. Vikings will lose to the Saints and would’ve lost to us because it is on the road, and Cousins is a useless bum. Not to mention, they haven’t won a road playoff game in 15 years. I’d even argue is harder to beat a team twice in the same season so that game earlier would be to our benefit.

    Either way, yes we will beat the Seahawks, and then we will beat the 49ers. Then y’all will come with the excuses lol

    Lol, always good to know I struck a nerve when you just try using the first sentence. Do not make me release my current draft I’m writing. It’s about how this presidential term turned into a witch hunt. And how the presidents own civil rights are being violated.

    Also, “I also said I wouldn’t be surprised if the Steelers won the division” was said never by you. We can all go back and view my posts saying the ravens were the top of threat our division. I said with Steelers winning it almost every year, why do people think the browns are going surpass the ravens and Lamar Jackson? You’re not just terribly wrong about Mayfield mainly and the browns and their division. You’re wrong about everything you post in the nfl thread. After cowboy fans were so heart broken after having a really easy first half season and realized that Dak wasn’t so special, and they’re even a team worse than Steelers 2nd string team this year. The fans then became delusional. Even Skip Bayless finally admitted the cowboys just weren’t good enough to make the playoffs this year. What should be very alarming if the browns would be in your division, they would have won it. And if Eli Manning played all year, Giants would have easily won the division.

    You lose.AGAIN.....8-0

    Browns wouldn’t have won the division because Mayfield sucks and Beckham is a cancer

    That would be a legendary run...if Wentz can do that...Foles who? Lol

    I think the Vikings game plan is to avoid needing to rely on Cousins to win them the game...run the ball...and slow the game down on D...or as @TimmyT said their d isn’t as good as it has been in years...though I’ve watched them lock down opponents down his year too

    I agree. But, I’m not counting the packers out yet either. If Rodgers and Adams have good games together, they can beat anyone too. Plus now they can open it up with running and dump off passes.

    I think overall team wise, Saints have the best offense on stat sheets. I’d rather have Saints win than the packers probably. If saints play to their potential, they’re winning the Super Bowl. Ravens defense can’t hold down Brees or Rodgers. Jimmy, I’m not sure yet with his lack of experience on the big stage. But the 49ers did beat the Saints away too. Even though it was by 2 points only. This is actually going to be an exciting post season.

    AFC, I would have originally just said the ravens. But the chiefs got good again, at the right time. Their defense can be scary bad at times. Idk if they can stop Lamar and Ingram in the run game. Ravens are just going to try and s--- that time away to keep Mahomes on the bench. Ravens beat them this year, chiefs do off season moves to make their defense better, and chiefs win the AFC next year. Unless Steelers somehow get Bell back.

    ps: I don’t understand how you thought I was trolling in the previous post. I take sport discussions seriously. Sorry if you felt I attacked you. I got madden 20 for the ps4 now too btw. We’re finally going to have to square off sometime. Dumbest thing I do is sometimes buy the same sports game for both the Xbox and PS. I do the same with resident evil.

    Sucks to be a Cleveland brows fan...mayfield is overrated and needs to keep doing commercials...Beckham was a bum all year...their oline was a disaster...the defense should have been better too considering how many 1st rounders they have

    baker was trending in the right direction before this season started. in other words.... he played well towards the second half of his rookie season. obviously he regressed this season--but its not uncommon for players to have a sophomore slump. it happens all the time.

    obviously beckham didn't do as good this season as he normally does--but he's been one of the top players at his position for most of his time in the league--which is why the giants got so much for him when they traded him away.

    i picked the browns to win the division, and i was wrong--but its not difficult to see why so many people were picking the browns. the bengals are notoriously bad. the steelers lost bell and brown and have an aging QB who has taken a lot of punishment. and lets be real....there probably weren't many people who thought the Ravens would have the kind of season they did this year---especially with how bad Lamar looked in that playoff loss to the Chargers last season

    I was thinking low scoring too. Fuller will likely be out with an injury. Hopefully Watt coming back adds to the pass rush but after all those injuries I doubt it. Your defense and O’Brien’s inability to call plays is what worries me. You guys have a better chance of beating the Ravens in the divisional round than we do.

    I agree that it’ll probably be 17-14 Bills but part of me hopes for something like 31-13

    How long has O'Brien been the head coach in Houston? I feel like his mediocrity consistently limits a pretty talented roster

    I agree, on paper the browns are a playoff team...no one saw Lamar Jackson coming...he was a different player last year

    If it gets into 30’s...your Texans got this...a shootout bodes well for Watson and the offense

    I have heard Texans fans bash o’brien for a while..I’m curious to see him coach...Texans have been consistent play-off team for years but I guess have underperformed in the play-offs...never getting over the hump...I guess another unsuccessful play-off run = time for a coaching change.

    Since 2014 :empalm:

    He’s 1-3 in the playoffs and that one win was against the Raiders without Derek Carr. Not hard to beat Connor Cook.

    It hasn’t been talked about enough how Jason Witten’s insecure a--- wore a f---ing wig while he worked MNF. Imagine that old loser walking back into the locker room trying to be a leader. Like nah my man, you wore a wig all last year I’m not listening to a word your b---- a--- had to say lmao
