stevegrab Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 Like I think I said before, you need to win 2, maybe 3 playoff games in a row against quality teams to reach the SB. Not easy, last year (first with expanded playoffs) the 1 seeds advanced, the year before neither of the top 2 seeds in either conference advanced.

purplemonster Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 (edited) Lions get MN and Dallas coming up. Will probably learn something from that. MN defense though is up and down, can very good or just average. They are fighting for a playoff spot though, so you should see their best.

For some reason I was thinking that the best wild card team was hosting a playoff game. But that would have been further back, in the early 2000s before re-alignment to 4 divisions.

whomper Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 Goes back to what I said earlier in this thread. We have no running game and we were also very poor at stopping the run. Cook was getting 6 yards a clip on first down. Complete control of the clock and the game when that happens . Dallas got whooped. No excuses. They have a punchers chance against anyone but they arent the team to beat . I fully expected to lose yesterday 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo clearly had Dallas' number (and I'm sure home field helped somewhat as well). Had it been MIN vs DAL, there is no question in my mind it would have been the exact opposite. MIN can't handle dominant D-lines well, and DAL certainly has that. Not saying BUF and MIN are comparable teams or whatever. But, they were both 7-6 coming INTO this week. That said, I think it's clear they are trending in different directions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purplemonster Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 Watch out for those Bills. They will be 10-6 in all likelihood soon and then playing MIA which may or may not have anything to play for. Not a team id like to play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAL at home this week might be the easiest of the three games left. If BUF wins their next two (Chargers and Patriots), and Miami loses to either DAL or at Baltimore, that game will be for all the marbles. Buffalo would hold the tie-breaker over Miami if they beat them, as they already beat them earlier this year. On the other hand, MIA currently controls their destiny. If they beat DAL and BAL, the BUF game won't matter (for the division... it will still likely matter to one, if not both, of them in terms of playoff seeding).

stevegrab Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 The remaining schedules for some of the top contending teams is pretty brutal, several have at least 2 tough games left. MIA - DAL, @BAL, BUF BAL - @SF, MIA, PIT SF - BAL, @WAS, LAR (Rams won 4 of last 5) DAL - @MIA, DET, @WAS Others like KC, PHI have it much easier. The Lions schedule (@DAL & MIN twice) is more favorable as the Vikings continue to struggle and now on QB #3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whomper Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 I am painfully aware of the prospect of gut wrenching loss that awaits . That being said , glad we won the division and can hold home field if we keep winning until the championship game . Amazing how bad Philly shit the bed . I hope the Gilmore injury isnt too bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What exactly went wrong with them I don't know, but they are definitely not the same team from the first half of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
