I know a lot of Cowboys fans are upset and still mad (rightfully so), but I am looking forward to all of the games this weekend as they all have a great story behind them.

The Chiefs and Bills game a few years ago was one of my favorite non-Cowboys games ever. The last 3 minutes was amazing in that game, so it will be interesting to see how this one goes.

Then there is the Texans and CJ Stroud versus the Super Bowl favorite Ravens. While I expect the Ravens to win, it will be interesting watching a first-year CJ Stroud play and see how well-prepared and coached the Ravens are.

With the Browns out of the playoffs, that leaves the Lions as the other decades-old underdog with castaway Goff leading them while they host the Buccaneers who have their own story with Baker Mayfield's redemption.

Then to top it off, we get the youngest team in the league in Green Bay who just destroyed the Cowboys on national TV playing the NFC Super Bowl favorite 49ers. No matter who wins that game, most Cowboys fans will be happy the other team lost.

Like most Cowboys fans, I am sad and disappointed the Jerry Jones Cowboys are not in it, but this should be a great weekend for football without them! :D

Yes it is. It is going to be a great weekend of football. Now that our Cowboys are one and done, again, I can watch the games and sit back and enjoy them without expecting the typical Cowboys meltdown in the playoffs!

Yep, should be a good weekend of football. Enjoy it because in a few weeks there will be no more football until August. Mixed emotions on the Green Bay game, on one hand I want the Packers to get destroyed on the other hand I hate San Francisco. Will be silently pulling for CJ Stroud, although this weekend I believe is the end of the line for him and Mayfield

Generally speaking, I always think the divisional round is the “best” weekend of pro football each year.

You’ve got a full slate - two games Saturday and two games Sunday - of what should be the best remaining teams in the league.

Next weekend we only get two games and the wildcard weekend is over saturated IMO. Not to say I don’t enjoy those weekends at all or anything, just that I enjoy the divisional round more.

I am one of these suckers who can't watch the GB game. Simply because I'd always think that we should have been playing there. Finally getting our revenge vs SF. But nooo...

Anyway, KC-Bills should be good.

I’m with you. Again, GB and Houston are playing with house money. They’re both going against the #1 seeds with first year QB’s and nothing to lose. Detroit could finally see a NFC Title game, but Baker and that defense could give them problems. And finally the new Goat #15 going into Buffalo. Good stuff!

Appreciate it, but I am a Cowboys Fan, not really a fan of any other team.
Rarely watch the other teams play.
My season ended last Sunday.

I can’t imagine just being a fan of the Cowboys. While I’m diehard Cowboys 24/7, I love football. You’re really missing out on some awesome teams.
I get that some only watch the Cowboys, and that's fine.
But it's good to know who those fans are because if they haven't watched other teams, they are fans that can't actually assess where Dallas is (and Dallas players are) vs the rest of the league.

Probable MVP Lamar Jackson also has a poor playoff history.
Ravens are 1-3 with him at the helm and his career QB Rating is extremely low....

There's more heat on the Raven than some may realize this week and Houston is hungry
Still think the Ravens win at home, but just saying.

Some good games this weekend. Looking forward to Houston and Baltimore and I want to see how close a game GB can give SF.
