I'll choose to avoid Tom Brady and San Francisco's defense.

Bring on the Seahawks. Just remind Geno Smith that he's Geno Smith.

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

They do but their QB situation will be their undoing. I just can’t see them getting far with a rookie QB. Most times in the playoffs it comes down to your QB. You get behind and it falls on your QBs shoulders.

Geno Smith is having a story book year and Walker Jr is a threat in the backfield they have some talent at Wideout but that would be my choice along with the Giants who can’t seem to beat Dallas no matter who they hire to coach .

I want to play Tampa. If we do I will be there for my first Cowboys playoff game.

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
Tampa then San Fran then Seattle… I would love to kick Brady‘s ***… San Fran is down to its third string quarterback, Seattle is healthiest.

Seattle would be the most winnable, but none really strike fear given injuries, etc.

In the first round? Nobody.

With the #1 seed, you win one game and you are in the NFC championship game.

The 49ers would kill us out of the gate. They had Dak looking like a high school quarterback, and our offense looking like Mr. Bean on a dance floor.

The Bucs had Dak so confused I was requesting a close-up shot to see if tooth picks were keeping his eyes open. Besides, Brady is our Kryptonite. We'd mess around and keep the score close, and then he'd snatch a victory away from us in the final seconds of the game.

I'd rather face the Seahawks first if given an option. I think we need a confidence builder before facing either of the aforementioned.

But we'll eventually need to beat one of them at some point. I just hope our coaches are ready, because, honestly, it's going to be coaching that either advances us through the playoffs or derails us right from the start.

Agree with this….hawks easy. I don’t like our matchups with SF or Tampa…last two seasons they’ve had our number.

Give us any team. As much as I want another Superbowl in Dallas I also don't want a cheap route. We'll just be hated more for it. We're banging on both sides of the ball. Limiting turnovers and penalties for this team will make us as good as anyone.

The only scare for me is that as bad as Anthony Brown was he was the starter.....

Someone has to step up or we're going to get exposed even more. Hiring scrubs late season doesn't make me comfortable.

I guess at the end of the day we gotta trust in our DC to have preparations for this, but with the struggles in run defense it worries me.

I want the hard road. Beat the best as we march along to the SB. Dirt Birds, TB and the GOAT, SF.... whoever. Bring it and knock the snot out of them. Build that confidence. Remember '92? We beat the best and then faced a Hall of Fame Bills team and crushed them.

Seriously, Tampa Bay Brady needs a beating by us. Other than that we play our game we win it all.

Ideal situation would he for all 3 WC teams to win in 1st round which appears to be a reasonable opportunity.

We could actually get a Divisional round at home as higher seeded Wild Card.

But opening at Tampa is a risk anytime you face Brady despite Bucs being down this year. We saw what he did to Saints last week in closing minutes. It’s never over when you have the GOAT.

If we play our game and avoid the silly crap we can beat anyone. Of that list Brady is Brady and is always a threat to beat you, Geno Smith is having a phenomenal year and adds the added dimension of mobility so give me SF minus a vet QB. Yes their D is really good but I feel we could get some TO’s from Purdy.

Unless you beat him into the turf, then he's not.

If this team wants to exercise its demons they need the hardest road possible. I wouldn’t want it any other way

If you want to exercise demons, the best way to do it is to put them on a treadmill with an incline of 89 degrees. That'll teach them bastids.
