Who you got for the playoffs?

Heres how I see the regular season playing out:

NFC

#1 and 2 seeds go to Carolina and GB. Too early to tell who gets which spot. Two games from now should give us a clearer picture.  Eagles and Cards win their divisions. Wildcards go to Falcons and Seahawks. I'm tempted to put the Vikings instead of Seahawks but I'm just not sold on them and as we saw from the Seahawks last week, despite the 4th quarter collapses they're still a good team. They took us to the wire. It could also be Seattle and Minnisota. The Falcons could easily have a mid to late season collapse. They're still soft as Charmin and are barely squeaking past bad teams. 

AFC

#1 and 2 seeds go to the Patriots and Bengals (in that order). Broncos and Colts win their division. Funny thing is the Colts are worse than us last year and will still probably win their division.   I wonder what the rhetoric will be in that situation compared to when it was us. Wildcards go to Jets (who I think will be favored against whoever they play except NE and maaaaybe the Bengals) and in a shocker to end all shocker the....Dolphins!  The only other real contender here is the Steelers in my opinion. We'll see how long it takes Ben to return and how they play when he does. They weren't exactly lighting it up before he got hurt. 

So that's my prediction. What do you guys think?

    • So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?
    • Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.
    • Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
