We're gonna beat Brady. Our team is better, we are going to be as healthy on defense (assuming Bland is ok) as we have been since that Colts beat down. Our O-Line should be as solid as it has been since Steele has gone down. This team is coming off an embarrassing loss. They usually respond well in this situation.

The Bucs are 8-9. This ain't the same team from the last couple of years.

That being said, our best path to the Super Bowl would be if by some miracle the hawks beat the 9ers in their 3rd matchup. Taking this team to Minnesota in a dome against a team we slaughtered midseason. Crazier things have happened.

The stars have to line up for us at some point. Why not this year?

You think the slaughter means anything?? That's then this is now
 
Old Pete usually has a trick up his sleeve against the 9ers hopefully the 3rd time is the charm
 
SF beat Seattle 27-7 in Week 2 and 21-13 in Week 15 (The game was 21-6 until 3:35 left in the game so it wasn't as close as the score shows) so Seattle needs to do better than 10 points/game in order to bear SF.

The nightmare for Dallas is if they beat TB, SF beats Seattle, and the Giants beat Minnesota as that then sets up Philly vs. Giants and SF vs. Dallas.

This is a different team now. The o'line is banged up and the defense is missing several starters. There is no pass rush and the secondary can't cover to save their lives. Couple that with non existent blocking, receivers that keep dropping balls or tipping them to defenders, and a QB who is the definition of inconsistency.

If this team somehow manages to get by TB, which I don't expect will happen, Minny likely puts a stomping on them and repays the favor from the last game.

I agree. The Niners are by far our worst matchup. they aren’t impressed by our “talent”

Records do not matter. I think we proved that last week.

Minnesota has worse playoff juju than we do I will take our chances
 
Minnesota is an enigma
The Vikings laid two huge eggs this year and one happened to be vs Dallas, but they've mostly been decent.

but, I like that path!
