the eagles clearly are bad without wentz. nick foles is a statue and bad at playing qb. even doug peterson can't save him.

their secondary is also a turnstile. just simply pretending you're doing a double move will probably send their ankles to asia or something. they spin like tops on the field. this team is clearly not a threat.

with that being said, there's a lot to say about how key a good qb is for the playoffs. while jared goff is clearly having the year of his life, most of that can be attributed to mcvay being the eyes for his qb and basically calling the plays as early as he can. theoretically, luke could easily counter in the 15 seconds the rams have to shut off the connection with mcvay with goff likely unable to counter.

as for the rest, you have case keenum who's shown to be bad against our defense, and then drew brees and matt ryan/russell wilson. clearly put, our biggest competition will be the saints if we have to face them.

however, we could just as easily find ourselves en route through the rams and eagles to the playoffs with a rams loss to the 49ers. 

so, just think on that a moment. i'm sort of just jotting down my thoughts, but we could have a pretty easy path until the nfc championship if the dominoes fall the right way.

Most likely first opponent is Aints and I think once we get past them, we're SB bound.

if the 49ers win it's guaranteed we won't face the saints first. 

it's very plausable considering the fight those two teams had the first time, and that's despite the 49ers having hoyer.

when kyle shanahan has his qb, he can orchestrate a masterpiece, and so far it's working with jimmy g.

Not gonna lie, the idea of having to face the Saints in the dome in the forst round of the playoffs sucks ass. I get all this talk about ot being hard to beat the same team three times in one season, but they've straight handled us twice. They just look like an awful match up for us this year.

which is why we pretty much have to hope the 49ers win against the rams which is actually pretty lucky.

reminder, they're the same team that hung 44 on arguably the best defense of this decade in jacksonville. better than the '15 broncos for sure.

Yeah I definitely like the Rams/Eagles path better; however, I think we are the team no one wants to face (including the Saints).  I've got faith in Cam and that our D will improve on it's subpar performances the past couple of weeks

i mean i agree our second game against them was completely us shooting ourselves in the foot, but even at full power i wonder if we'd be enough to dethrone the saints.

would be a massive shootout imo if we have to face them. 50/50 either way. at our best i know we can compete and possibly win, but i can't say that for certain since they match us so well.

every other nfc team im confident we can handle quite well.

Can we get to the super bowl if cmc is the lead back?

You 100% sure about that? I don't feel like diving too far into that but I'm somewhat skeptical. If, we lose, Aints lose and Rams lose wouldn't we play the Aints? I'll take your word for it though. If so, then we really should root for the 49ers. Aints lose first round and we should be able to beat the Rams in LA which is basically a neutral field. Would be a nice first round.

You guys are going to keep wishing we don’t play the Saints and really play the Rams and we get bent over with no Vaseline. 

Id rather put the positive juju on the team,.. we are Super Bowl Champs, Our offense scores now, our defense stops now,..

feel the chi and the universe bros,....

the negative waves just cause Butterflies to spontaneously combust.

      Dan Morgan: Panthers will pickup BY’s 5th year.

      As expected. Still no reason not to bring in competition via FA or draft. Bryce can be our bridge QB until we find ourselves our franchise QB.

      I've been here since the forum started.    It's an X through Fitterer because I couldn't stand him.   Very troll like behavior.

      I agree with this, wholeheartedly. Bryce tantalizingly has his moments, even his games. This past Saturday was one of those. He really became the Mouse that Roared after the team fell behind and the o-line started collapsing. And, in truth, I think had the play calling been better at the end, he might well have brought us back into another lead change. Talk about a legendary moment just missed. I'm going to get lambasted for this but as a cautionary tale, I want to just say we're sitting at a spot that the San Diego Chargers were way back in the day. They had a short-ish QB on a rebuilding team that was underwhelming most games, but had some really good moments. They decided instead to take a gamble on drafting someone new and letting that QB, Drew Brees, go find someone more willing to let him develop. They turned around and had a draft debacle with Eli Manning/Phillip Rivers, ending up with Rivers in the end. We've got to remember that Brees wasn't who he would become at that time, it would take a coach willing to open up the offense and give the tough young kid a chance to grow. Rivers would become the poster child for the guy who almost was. Brees will get a gold jacket someday to go with the Saints only Superbowl win. Bryce probably isn't Brees, only one guy was and he barely got the chance to be him. Giving Bryce another season, maybe two, on squad gives us the luxury of testing the waters and the growth.  QBs early in their careers take time. We saw Rogers last night at the end of his career (maybe), sputtering out before he heads to the barn for his spot in the HoF and we have to remember him at his best, after sitting on the bench for three years. And we have to look at the other side of that coin last night, CJ Stroud, a draft classmate of Bryce's who soared out of the gates but who has come to earth since. He's still a good QB with a long runway ahead of him, but his performance under the big spotlight wasn't as strong as Bryce's on this particular weekend. I'm not 100 percent sure Bryce will be the guy. I'd like to see some more fire in the young man, some push, something that shows he can force his will on the other team's defense.  I am, however, seeing a kid that can make the throws, who can improvise and who amazingly can run braver and faster than I really thought he could. I think he needs time, he needs more confidence and he needs more brave coaching. If he doesn't get that here, I think he might find it elsewhere. And we'd find ourselves like the Spanos family, sitting on the couch in February asking Phillip Rivers to pass the chips during the Super Bowl commercial breaks year after year.
