We've all expected Tampa Bay to win the NFC South. For the whole year that's been the assumption. This would, based on seeding rules, place Dallas in Tampa Bay for round 1.

But wait. If the Carolina Panthers beat the Bucs this Sunday, and win out against the Saints in their last game...we will start the playoffs with a game in Carolina.

No problem, right? I mighta thought so until Carolina crushed Detroit Sunday, with 320 rushing yards at 7.4 yards per clip.

Panthers also ran for 223 yards earlier this month versus Seattle. ( Before we all completely freak out, it should also be pointed out that on Dec 18 versus Pittsburgh those same Panthers were kittens, 16 carries for 21 yards. )

My opinion: we gonna beat either Bucs or Panthers. Just might not be easy.
Any playoff game gonna be tough, especially on the road.
We had our destiny in our own hands and spit the bit twice against GB and JAX.

I don’t fear them. Dak should have 300 plus abd 4 tds.

At the end of the game, Dak, like Hercules, tears down Nissan Stadium and Titan fans flee into the hills!
Is this a screenplay or what, mate?

If we lose to them we don't need to advance. There is no easy route to the NFCC. Any team is liable to beat us. If anything SF is look pretty darn good.

My God, put the Koolaid down....
They're 11-4. Just beat the best team in football. Have wins over a bunch of playoff teams. They can trade scores with any offense in the NFL. How are they not contenders ? There isn't a perfect team out there. Besides your childish superstitions and negativity, what else says they can't win a SB.? They're as good as anyone.

Don't know, TB has been playing awful the last couple of games and if you consider Brady with multiple INTs... either way, Carolina or TB, I say Cowboys will win 1 playoff game this season.

They run better without christian there

They sure aren't running it worse, LOL!

Running game is mostly about blocking. Christian isn't a difference-maker as a runner at this point. Good receiving back though.

As I’ve said— I’d much rather see Darnold than Brady.

Playoff Lenny would come out of the woodworks for 130 yards rushing against us. Brady would be surgical. Give me Sam and a tame, inexperience Carolina team.

How did you post this mess with a straight face? Do you really think the Panthers are dangerous because they beat the Lions and Seahawks?

honestly as silly as it sounds, the way they stomped the lions is what made me finally pay attention to carolina. the lions have been a pretty interesting team the past couple of months.

To ultimately get to where you want to go, you will have to beat some good teams. I really do not care who we play.

I live an hour from Charlotte and a good friend has season tickets so I might could snag a ticket for the game
