Who would we rather see in the playoffs

Okay guys, the playoff seating is starting to flesh out with the better teams rising out of the muck.

 

So far, as the 5th seed we would travel to the Dallas to face the Cowboys.

 

       -thoughts:  Dallas is the type of team that we match up decent with. Dez is very good and Romo can get the ball to him but we have not been getting beat or even roughed up by teams with only one good receiver.

 

 

However, say Dallas poos the bed for the rest of the season and Phillie overtakes them. That poses a problem for us I believe. Phillie has a defense that I believe we can exploit, but their offense is destined to be pretty high octane and worst of all FAST PACED.  We don't want to travel to Phillie in the playoffs.

 

(neither the skins nor the giants have a shot)

 

 

 

Now for hypotheticals.

 

The NFC west appears to own the other playoff seat. If by some chance the NFC west overtakes us and we move to 6, we would be traveling to Detroit. I don't think anyone else in the NFC North really has a shot to overtake them.

 

        -thoughts. Detroit is Dallas with a better Defense. Good thing for us is that it would that plays to our strengths on Defense. We might struggle if our running game cant get started but this is a very intriguing matchup.

 

 

 

Flip side. Say we over take the Saints and secure the 2 seed.  That puts us likely hosting the Taints as they would likely beat NFC East.  That is not ideal for us.  Ideal for us is for the Taints to travel to the NFC North.  The teams are not good, but the weather is an ideal scenario as the cold weather would undoubtedly give them fits.   

 

 

 

Thoughts?

 

 

 

 

 

(playoff key:   wild card round = 4 seed hosting 5 and 3 hosting 6

                       divisional round= 1 hosting lowest to advance and 2 hosting highest

                       Conference round=highest seed hosting lowest)

Man, I have to tell you.  I just want to SEE the playoffs.  Its been soooooooooooooooooo long.  Getting Super Bowl wins is usually a process over a period of years.  Not that we can't win it all or won't,  just getting in again will be a huge learning experience for our team.  Can't wait to see our boys playing playoff football once again.

    • Same, bro.  Yeah, it just feels it has run its course and I don’t know that we’ll ever get more value.  Plus, with the new ownership, this draft has been super encouraging, so dare I believe maybe this FO can get something to really put us over the top in return for Melo.  I’ll still be a fan of his game and try to keep up with him if we move on, but yeah, I feel it’s time to turn the page. (and side note: I felt so happy after their rookie years because I told everybody I wanted Melo and didn’t trust Ant.  And Melo clearly looked like the better player early…  I thought Ant would bust because all that stuff he said about not loving the game and just his resume to that point…  but damn, if we could go back in time.🤣🤣🤣. I love Ant’s game and at times, when he gets in the zone, he is THE BEST player in the league in my opinion.)
    • Appreciate that, bro!  And I could definitely see that with Cam.  Even though he’s a little younger than me, he is also someone I admire and feel a kinship with for a lot of various reasons. Funny enough, a few years after that encounter with Steve, I went to Charlotte with one of my friends whose brothers owned a moving company at the time.  He dropped me off uptown and went to work the day with them where I would wait until he got done and then we were gonna go to the Bobcats game that night.  So I walk all through that area for hours.  After awhile, I walk back towards the arena and sit in a bench on the backside of the arena, where the practice court and player’s entrance was.  As I’m sitting there, I look up and almost think I’m seeing things - I squint and blink my eyes a couple times just to be sure, and yes…  it’s one of my childhood heroes, Muggsy Bogues walking across the crosswalk and into the arena.  I think he was coaching the Sting then, iirc.  Part of me wanted to just say, “Hey!  Muggsy!  Thank you for the inspiration and memories!  You were one of my favorite players as a kid!”  But, I just watched him walk by and into the arena and thought, “that was cool!”  I also so Miguel Cotto a couple years back while in Orlando and told my kids who it was but didn’t say anything to him.  I think somewhere in my subconscious, that encounter with Steve really made me feel like the gamble on finding out if they’re receptive to interaction just isn’t worth finding out.  At the end of the day, no matter if they’re receptive inspired us or were a hero, unless they initiate it, I likely never will…  because again, they’re humans just like us.  Not anymore unique or special, they just have a highly visible and very public job that we get to watch and in some ways participate.  So, I just appreciate it for what it is.
    • I'm pleasantly surprised they gave it to Bryce Young over Josh Allen. Finally we're getting some respect. Now I'm just hoping the team follows this up accordingly and doesn't lay another egg.
