Cowboys everyday, any day!!!!!!!We know who you really root for.
Now you on the other hand............

That the NFC is down/wide open? Why because Brady and Rogers teams are struggling is that why?
I call BS, and say that the NFC is as it always is! The AFC is wide open now as it has been since Brady left, it's wide open.
Both the NFC and the AFC currently has 7 teams over 500.
The NFC has 29 SB winners to the AFC 27.
The NFC is awful…like the worst it’s been in a decade.
Rodgers is old and has no weapons and old man Brady ain’t what he used to be.
3 elite QBs in football IMO - all 3 in the AFC.
I don’t think you understand what people are insinuating when they say the nfc is bad bc it isn’t what you are implying. And they’re right, the nfc is bad. You are wrong.
I don't get the stat that says our line is only winning 46% of their snaps in pass pro when we've given up the fewest sacks in the league. It just doesn't compute that we'd be last in pass block win rate and 1st in sacks given up. Football Outsiders has our line ranked 3rd in pass blocking while ESPN has us last? That's a pretty wide gap.
I've never seen the NFC this bad. We have 3 good teams in the NFC that can make the SB. The rest are either average or suck.
We've reached a point where FA, salary caps, and crap officiating have done exactly what they were intended.
brought us mediocre football.
Happily we have assembled a group of players and a couple coordinators who are identifying player strengths and putting them in positions to shine.
There are only 2 folks who can keep us from a super bowl appearance .
1. MM failure to have the team focused and disciplined for a big game.
2. Our beloved QB having a meltdown in a big game.
But yes, if we're on our game nobody in the watered down NFC stops us.

I was fast asleep long before that drive ever happened, but their line has been abysmal all year so not surprised. Here's the link to the FO site to check it out.What criteria are they using? If he wanted to, the quarterback can get the ball out before he gets sacked on every play. Take the Thursday night game for example. Would you say the Rams offensive line played well on that final drive? They were horrible, yet Mayfield led them to a TD.
Bengals are surging at the right time again they are at this point playing the best in the AFC so that 3 Heavy's plus MIA is a threat... Eagles and Cowboys are the NFC heavy's as SF will drop bit with Purdy..MN seems to be possibly a paper team with 10 wins.The NFC is weird. TB, LAR, and GB all have taken huge steps back. The entire NFCE however, has taken strides forward. SF is solid— but who knows what will happen with JG’s injury?
KC and Buff still look to be the heavyweights. Every team has some flaws. Injuries and who is peaking/fading when Jan rolls around will (as always) be influential

yeah parity , and bad reffing stupid rules, which is intentional by nfl has watered down the nfl to the point I am getting bored with it.We've reached a point where FA, salary caps, and crap officiating have done exactly what they were intended.

Have to scroll over to the right for pass blocking, then it let's you sort it.I'm not sure that is just showing pass blocking. It looks like run blocking to me.
On the last drive Mayfield was under duress. Sometimes with lineman on him. The refs also ignored a few obvious holds. They could not stop the Raiders DEs. Had Tillery, or however you spell his name for the Raiders not done something stupid, the game was all but over. After a sack for 9 yards, he decides it's a good idea to smack the ball out of Baker's hands.
Minnesota is significantly worse than every other team in that groupHow is the NFC worse than the AFC? Dallas, Philly, Minnesota are on par with KC, Cincy, Buffalo. And then there is a drop off in each conference after the top 3.
