    You know Romo sucks when Kordell Stewart won more playoff games than him. Pretty funny I shut riley the f--- up from one post.

    Too be fair the Eagles/Cowboys have some of the biggest fan bases in the league, and were in the middle of a playoff race until today. Also for the most part there hasnt been much to talk about this season. The Patriots are winning (nothing different from the past 15 years) Broncos are playing well, Seattle is the best team in the NFC as everyone predicted, and there's not many people that post in here. It's not our fault most of them happen to be Eagles/Cowboys fans lol

    EDIT: and for the record there's at least 10 QBs Id rather have than Romo no matter how well he plays in the regular season.

    Anyways apparently no one's watching the game which I can understand due to this very interesting Romo debate we've had 1000 times, but d--- Lynch had an insane 79 yard TD run and Wilson had a sick TD run too.

    Seahawks are unstoppable and will be in the super bowl, Packers aren't gonna win in Seattle.

    Lol really. There's probably less than 10 people that post in this thread regularly now. And it seems like 75% of them are Eagles/Cowboys fans. Then we've got like 2 Vikings fans, 2 Patriots fans, a Niners fan, and... Trent.

    Might actually root for the Lions next week tbh. Even though facing Detroit in the wild card is a safer bet, we'd have to face the Packers in Lambeau in the divisional round. Even though the Cowboys have been stellar on the road this season I'd much rather play Greenbay at home and then potentially play away at Detroit if we win.

    Lol y'all will be back next year, Eagles are to young and promising to just vanish but there's a lot of things you guys need to address in the off season and not just player wise either. You guys turned the ball over A LOT this season, as far as fundamentals go, that should be the main focus this off season heading into next season, protecting the football. I also think Chip needs to alter his scheme a bit, I understand he likes the fast tempo offense but he should consider also running a traditional offense too. Running that fast tempo offense all game long I think hurts you guys in the long run because you have your defense on the field for incredibly long periods of time and you don't really give your QB (whoever that should be) time to adjust the play if needed or see if he can recognize/read the defense. Whether your QB is Foles or some drafted rookie next season you have to be able to see if he can at least recognize a defense, that's a huge part of being a QB.

    Then of course to state the obvious, going into the draft I think the two glaring needs are Cornerback which they should go after in the 1st round and WR which I think they should go after in the 2nd. Preferably a speedy one that can be a deep threat and kind of fit into that Jackson role.

    Cowboys, Packers, and Lions all have the personnel to beat Seattle. Seattle is on a row and hot at the moment. Wouldn't be surprised if they make it to the Super Bowl. But I wouldn't be surprised either if one of those 3 teams beat them as well. Going to be some good playoff football. Can't wait.

    The Cowboys won't make it past The Divisional Round. This is their "Cinderella" year..and it's going to end abruptly. #HTTR

    So many people undersell Detroit, because of the history, without realizing this team could just as easily be 13-2 right now as it could be 9-6. We lost to Arizona on some bs calls (Ebron's lack of a 1st down when he fell forward going out of bounds, Fitzgerald's 1st that wasn't a 1st, Ross' return that got called back to the one on a bs possession ruling), and if we had a kicker we would have beaten Buffalo, and had a much different game against Carolina. There's a saying all over here that has been going for years, "sol". Same Old Lions. This team isn't the same old Lions. As a Lions fan GB is always a question mark, favored to GB. Dallas is usually a fun game, and another toss up. I think Detroit can beat Seattle. They're offense is built to play right into our defenses strengths. Contain Wilson, and they're nothing special. Arizona would be the team I'd want to play the most, regardless of the South winner. Arizona is a mess, and Carolina/Atlanta are both teams that could do some damage on any week.

    I still think GB will be the team to beat, especially if they get games @ Lambeau, but everyone except Arizona should be feared.

    Most overrated offensive coordinator in the NFL. Good luck with that.

    Bill O'Brien >>>>>>>>>>> Josh McDaniels

    I really don't like either of the Patriots coordinators.

    Jed and Baalke are looking for a puppet yes man. Which is why they are running Harbaugh out the door. Jed York is turning into his dad John York more than who he should be turning into, his uncle Eddy DeBartolo. I can already see Josh McDaniels being introduced as the next HC. f---ing sucks. If they go that route, they are going to have an expensive empty stadium.

    Most of us know losing in the divisional round is a big possibility especially since it'll likely be vs Greenbay.

    :jordan:

    It'll be a good game though, I don't think we'll get blown out in the playoffs or anything.

    If Niners don't get Holmgren or another great up and comer they lose this offseason.. plus all the player transitions as well, ugh.

    Hate it but Seattle playing great at the right time, hopefully peaking early n Packers can right their ship n knock them off.

    Around week 11 after 3 losses in 6 a lot of firms over here had us at 4th fav's and around 6/1 which was huge IMO.
    Wish I got on it back then.

    Probably won't be "blown out" but Romo will find a way to choke.
