The football thread RenegadeMonster is looking for: NFL talk

So I have to wait an entire week to watch Brady beat my Cowboys to put another layer on the same crap sandwich Jerry's been serving since the late 90s?
That certainly seems to be the case. While it is Brady, the Bucs still are not a very good team. But the Cowboys are also trending downward (as is tradition), so this one could get ugly for both sides.

I loved that W. Apparently he showed the locker room a clip of all the experts picking GB to add to any motivation they already had.
I have come to love Dan Campbell as a coach too. I give him credit for that 4th down play over the field goal attempt at the end; he truly finished how he started.

The best news is that a lot of the players making plays on D are rookies or 2nd year players. They should be a handful for a lot of teams next year. Sadly, that's always the Lions mantra - wait until next year.

I couldn't find a pic of it but the best sign I saw last night was...

Lambeau Litter Box
Est. 1-8-23

Jags over Chargers
Bills over Dolphins
Giants over Vikings
Bengals over Ravens
Bucs over Cowboys

Who y'all got?

I hate the Cowboys but everyone just assumes Tampa is gonna take this one because of Tom Brady and yeah, if it’s close I could see some TB12 magic pulling out a win at the end but the Cowboys have a good run game and defense. If Dak just manages the game, they should win.

I think the Niners Seahawk game might be interesting because of the weather and because of how tough it is in the NFL to beat the same team 3 times in a season. Carroll will make it a game and they could pull it off but the Niners are the best team in the NFL going into the playoffs so I still think they pull it out.

The Chargers could still Charger but I think they will get a win today.

Minnesota is a better team than the Giants if they are firing on all cylinders.

And the Bills and Bengals both feel like locks given the Fins and Ravens QB situation.

Regardless, it should be a fun weekend. One one my favorite sports weekends of the year!

I'm mainly picking the Bucs as I hate the Cowboys plus they looked awful last week against Washington. Either way, assuming the Niners win today I'm fine facing either team.

As for the weather here in SF - it's been a mess all week and should start raining again at game time. I'm slightly less confident given the rain factor but think the Niners should be able to get it done by dinking and dunking - just get the ball in the hands of CMC, Deebo, Kittle, and let them run.
 
As a Chiefs fan, I’m conflicted. It was great to see the Chargers do their thing in a playoff game. On the other hand, if it leads to them getting a competent staff (Payton?), they could actually be a legitimate threat instead of the perennial preseason champs.
