Which playoff opponent do you prefer?

When it comes down to it, I'd like to see GB and the Lions tie, so Dallas gets homefield advantage throughout the playoffs. Or if the Rams beat the Seahawks, Dallas is the #2 seed.

Since both are such a rare possibility, Dallas could end up with the Lions or Packers. Who would you rather have?

For me, I'd like to have the Packers, because it means they do not have homefield advantage. They've been playing a little bit off lately, too. Beating Rogers with a defense-boosted-by-offense gives Romo more credibility on his way to facing Brady or Manning in the SB.

I really want Romo to get the Super Bowl win, and I hope defeats as many premium QB's as possible, while getting his ring.

The Falcons or the The Cardinals but that's just not feasible

It comes down to do you want Detroit at home in the first round and then have to go to Green Bay for a Divisional game or get Green Bay at home in the first round with decent options maybe in the Divisional round.

I think that's where it's at right now and it's a tough call.

The playoffs are everything on the line anyway, I hope that the opportunity is there for Romo to elevate above the best hyped and legitimately talented quarterbacks.

Detroit never beats Green Bay in Lambeau so it looks like we're getting the Lions at home. It's a tough climb from there with road games at Green Bay and Seattle to get to the Super Bowl the most likely scenario.

Agreed. Can't see Seattle losing to Car/Atl, or Az. If Dallas beats Detroit and Seattle is the #1 seed, then Seattle would be playing one of those three teams in the second round.

Dallas' road to the super bowl would be tough in that scenario (facing Det, GB, and then Seattle), but, hey, the 2007 Giants had to beat Dallas, GB, and an undefeated Patriots team. If they could do it...

I could see Atl giving them a game because they have the passing game but they also don't run the ball well and Matt Ryan throwing 40-50 times is not a good formula for beating Seattle.

I think Green Bay is the toughest opponent, regardless of seeding, I'd rather face them in Dallas than at Lambeau

That Seattle game if it ever happens would be a heck of a game. We out-physicalled that team and sent them reeling last time. What a slug fest that would be for sure.

Cardinals and Falcons, but I think that's highly unlikely. We'll most likely get Detroit. And I fear Green Bay and Seattle.

I think our best chance of getting a win would be to play Detroit in the first round, but our best chance of getting a super bowl is playing Green Bay at home in the first round because Detroit is beatable anywhere... But the Packers are much more formidable at home

Clearly you want Green Bay at home and then Detroit away.

Yes, playing indoors on the road is not that bad. Let's face it Detroit's loyal fan base might not outnumber Dallas fans at Ford Field, all the bandwagoners are piling on now. If detroit has a homefield advantage, it's with an asterisk.

I'll tell you one thing. Looking at other teams forums no one wants to face the Cowboys.......

GB, want to shut up that so-called pretty boy Rodgers!

The State Farm stuff has gotten a little tired (although I do like Hans and Frans), but I don't really have a problem with Rodgers . That said, I'd sure to see us send him into the off season.

I do not have a preference. You have to beat anyone you face to get to the Super Bowl. Doesnt matter if you lose the wildcard game or the NFC championship game. You lose , you are done.

I want GB at our home. I just want a little mix of revenge by beating the lions and creditably by beating the teams like the packers and Seahawks on the way to the super bowl if this fairy tale was to come true.

Never really like Dallas playing in cold weather games.

In order:

Falcons
AZ
Detroit
GB
Seattle..... (even though we beat them; beating a team twice - not fun!)
