Who would you rather face in the playoffs?

[CowboyRoy]

San Francisco

Seattle

Tampa Bay

If you look at SF, it’s realistic that they can go on a losing spree. Their schedule is tough and I can see a scenario that they lose many games in December.


Despite what happened last year, I would like my shot at SF again to get that taste out of my mouth from last year


Dallas has not shown that they can beat elite qbs like Rodgers or Brady and until they do so, I am not going to give them the benefit of the doubt

TB then Seattle, then SF.

Anyone, the only thing that can stop us is injuries

This is the kind of naive thinking that got so many people disappointed after the SF game.

 

[CowboyRoy]

Of the current playoff teams, this is my ranking of who I’d want to face to who I’d least want to face.

1. Seahawks
2. Vikings
3. Giants
4. Bucs
5. Eagles
7. 49ers

Out of your list, Seahawks definitely. We get weak in the knees for Brady and we never play well against the 49ers. They practically own us. And after last year’s playoffs…. I’d prefer to avoid them.

Seahawks have a great young RB and can run the ball. They also have great WR's and their QB is playing well. TB has a poor run game and a poor Oline. Give me Tampa in a revenge game.

What got us beat was this team coming out scared. I don't think they'll do that this year

True. At this point I feel our team is balanced and talented enough in all phases to compete with anyone. I don't think anyone can beat us if we're playing well. The question in my mind is will we beat ourselves. If we don't beat ourselves then I see us winning it all. Especially with an HOFer in Tyron coming back and rookies Williams, Bland and Clark emerging for the stretch run.

SF was just a better football team. I think many of us, me included just saw Jimmy G and figured we had such an advantage there that we would win.

Tampa Bay. We match up well with them and will be looking for revenge. They pass a lot and that plays to our strengths. Them or Seattle

I would rather face Seattle. San Francisco would be my second choice. I want no part of Tom Brady!

Tampa Bay. We match up well with them and will be looking for revenge. They pass a lot and that plays to our strengths. Them or Seattle

They’re a terrible matchup for us we found that out on opening day. They have a solid defense and they can run the ball which they did for over 150 yards against us. Plus they have the goat at QB who we’re 0-7 against. Why some fans are picking the Bucs is beyond me.

Honestly, if the 49ers hadn't lost Jimmy to injury, then I'd favor them, but that injury is bigger than people think. As long as Dallas stays healthy, then I think we make it to the Superbowl

Even a healthy Cowboys team is going to have a very difficult time beating Philly in Philly. The last time we played them in a playoff type atmosphere was in a season finale elimination game in 2008 and they beat us 44-6. They’re clearly the best team in the league right now.

The 9ers have the best D in football with ours a close 2nd.

I will never write off SF again. Lets see how this rookie fares. As far as making it the SB again I think that is naive. Even if you have the best team in the NFL, which I cant say we do, you have to beat 3 other great teams to get there and all of them will be on the road.

The chance of us actually pulling that off are pretty slim to be honest. And especially THIS football team that has a tendency to disappear for halves and for entire games.

Since season opener they have been horrible in the run game. Fournette has disappeared. They pass more than any team in the league and we get pressure better than any team in the league. Have you watched them this year? They suck, not same team. Season opener was a fluke

…and it’s more than likely that we play them first round. 95%

 

[THEHEREAFTER]

Assuming we're talking first round, I would say Seattle if our #5 positioning holds true. I'm still not giving up on the #1 seed.

 

[StarOfGlory]

I guess Bears, Saints, and Cardinals aren't an option.

Give me Brady!

We beat them in the wildcard back in 2009

You claim they suck? Have you been watching them lately? They’ve won three of their last four, including a win over Seattle who’s 7-5. Brady is starting to light it up. Did you watch what he did to the Saints in the final few minutes? When the Cowboys played them in the opener, our defense only sacked Brady twice. He doesn’t take a lot of sacks because he gets rid of the ball quick. The most sacks he’s taken in a game this season is three. He owns the Cowboys more than Aaron Rodgers does, and we all saw what Rodgers did to us. The Packers sucked when we played them and Rodgers ended up having his best game of the season. Not only is Brady getting into a groove but the Bucs have a solid defense that ranks 8th. Dak and our offense could do nothing against them in the opener. Plus if we face Tampa in the playoffs it will be in Tampa. I’m not sure the Cowboys can beat anyone on the road in the playoffs especially Tom Brady.

I was referring to playing them in Philly in a playoff type atmosphere. It was like heading into a hornets nest in 2008. We beat them in the wildcard round at home in 2009 and that team wasn’t nearly as good as the one they have now. This is the best Philly team I’ve seen.
