Well GB isn't even in the playoffs right now. And again anybody that's in the playoffs has a chance. Smith can make the superbowl just as well as Brady can and who is too say Seattle even wins to play Atlanta. Until the games are played we don't know

I know we won't be facing Mcgloin

You can take that to the bank

Gotta agree with GloryDays here. There are always possibilities, but it's very unlikely the Pack loses before playing us, or that Seattle loses to Wash, and even more unlikely that anyone goes to Foxboro and beats the Emperor. I mean Penelope Cruz, Cameron Diaz, Salma Hayek and my wife could agree to move to Utah and all get married together, but I'm not betting on it.

I probably showed my age there.

I like Sc%. Ours is 45.3 and our opponents is 34.4. Rolls a lot of consequences of some stats into it.

GB isn't special and as of this moment get aren't even in the playoffs. And the Patriots have beaten.........who. Seattle is terrible, no OL, no run game (Rawls is injuried again and Procise is still out, their defense is getting ate up especially with Thomas out, Lockett is out so no return game now and Baldwin the only reciever you need to worry about. Jimmy G hasn't done much and Wilson can't do it running for his life all game. Would not surprise me if Seattle losses wild card

It is very likely they play Washington in the wild card round and I agree with you. Seattle is really beat up. I think they will still win based on their defense and the home crowd but Washington could for sure win that game. Man how awesome would it be if they did? I mean honestly, it will be because of us beating the Bucs and Lions. Then if they win, they get to come to Dallas and be slaughtered, thus putting us in the NFC Championship game. Man, I'm getting excited just thinking about it.

I will be pulling for the Lions and the Commanders this week and if they win, will be pulling for them in the playoffs too. Playing GB is not ideal in the divisional round. We can beat them but it isn't the ideal matchup.

If you haven't been pleasantly surprised with our defense this year, you just haven't been paying attention. Fourth in the league in points given up! That's the biggest stat, period! One of the top run defenses in the league (we were # 1 before the Detroit game and I haven't checked to see if that changed). We've become much better at rushing the QB and creating turnovers as the season has progressed. We have greatly overachieved what anyone thought possible while depending on a few rookies and dealing with numerous injuries. Overall, the D has more than pulled their own weight.

I think we matchup well with them. They can't stop the run and give up huge plays in the passing game. On offense GB can't run so they pass, we don't give up huge plays so I think we matchup very good with GB. They should be scared to play Dallas

GB is riding Rodgers. In December his TD/int is 9-0 and his rating is 120.7. Dak is 5-2 and 96.5.

Seattle is still formidable at home, though I agree they are incredibly flawed with injuries making it even worse.

Patriots have done what we've done - beaten whoever they've had on the schedule. Brady simply doesn't screw up, and they have the #1 scoring defense.

My bottom line is that we will beat any team unless we make mistakes, but the margin is slimmer against those teams which do not make errors on their own. Only NE can really play with us if we don't make a bunch of unforced errors.

I always enjoy watching how a mountain of stats are moving...but I still use the eye test for my deep set interest and enjoyment. Recently, that skill had to be adjusted with the use of patience.

Well guess what the eye says...? Now, the Cowboys can see objectively in a game by game manner. If they loose...they bounce back. If they are behind or have a rough first half, the team groups, The thing is, they just don't quit, under Jason Garrett and the rest of his current staff. That is a big thing, stat or no stat available.

Me, I'm anxiously watching for the steeply improving play by young players: Mayowa, Collins, and Irving. Get Gregory into the playoffs arena, bring back Lawrence and Claiborne...well, the future starts growing to this eye as well.

Mayowa with over six sacks now, that is some eye food,
