I hate the "Well, take away all his weapons and that QB would suck", argument. Yeah, that's how it would work with any QB, take away all their weapons and they'd suck. 

 

 

Not even close to true.

I believe the 4 best teams are in the championship round. All would be deserving teams in the Super Bowl.

Ya, about that "back up" rookie - he's insanely good.  Don't underestimate him. He's every bit a starter, and has likely already secured that spot for next year.

 

And that defense.  Sheesh.  There's a reason they're the #1 defense in the league.

 

The niners are stacked with talent.  

No doubt. We don't get a lot of Niner games out here but from what I've seen, the rookie is going to be a darn good QB. I'm not ready to put him in Canton yet.

 

Jalen isn't exactly a "ham and egger", as the Tuna would say, and my point is that I would pick a QB with far more starts and time in the offense over a guy who has played, what 8 NFL games? Not to mention that Jalen plays in arguably the toughest division.

 

The teams are really closely matched and the game could be a "pick-em" game and I picked one. 

 

No dog in this hunt, just an observation.

You're telling me that there are no qbs now or ever that have succeeded when 1 or more of their weapons were lost? You need to lay off the Miller lites, its fermenting what's left of your brain.

Since I’m always poking fun at  @Bird’s picks, I should at least throw out some of my own

 

 I’m of course cheering for the bungles but they always say beating a team twice or 3 times is hard, 4 might be too tall of a task. With the chiefs at home, I predict mahomes comes up with some crazy pass to Kelce after dodging 3 rushers late to put them in position for a game winning field goal. Or something like that ……..

 

On the nfc side, it seems like a low scoring game would break out, lots of power running. I’ll take the over and say there are some more fireworks than expected and this one may end up in overtime. Prediction: hurts to smith for the winning TD 

 

going to be fun to watch!

d**n I got it the other way…

Mahomes not 100%, Joe Cool and the gang for the W.

 

Jalen ‘still Hurts’ not 100 either. 9ers defense and run game prevail.

 

Should be fun either way!

I’m thinking mahomes is like a wounded animal on adrenaline at this point, throwing TDs off one foot again haha. 
 

the strange part is, there are no real villains in the final 4 for me this year, there’s usually a team to hate

Disguised as a fishing firewood chopper all these years, actually a Vegas handicapper ! Ahaaaa!!!!

 

[Mobasser]

I'm pulling for the Chiefs. Whatever the outcome, I think it will be a hard fought close game.

[flyfisher]

Chiefs game is all about Mahomes health.  If he is healthy we are going to see a good game but I think Reid will coach them to a win.

 

It is kind of amazing to me how many people talk about the san fran defense yet ignore the eagles defense which is fine with me.  Eagles defense is as good if not better than San Fran and they had a more difficult schedule.  Eagles can win in a multitude of ways and I don't think this game will be as close people think.  San fran will get a late TD on the Eagles prevent defense but Philly is gonna win convincingly.

[gim]

I hope the Niners slaughter the eagles.  Can't stand that fan base.  Please just make them go away.

 

The Bengals have kind of a feel good story with me.  Plus the NFL counted them out against the Bills a week in advance and they put the smack down on them.  In yo face, Atlanta.

Happen to agree.

Eagles are sitting at 15 - 3 for the year and there is not a single weakness on this team, very complete.

I forget who you are a fan of but if it is Minnesota I can't blame you for hating the eagles fan base. My favorite beat down in recent history being the 2017 NFC championship game when their fraud fans came to philly thinking they were gonna get a win and doing that stupid azz SKOL chant on the art museum steps. Then they got to watch them get trounced 38-7.......

 

Eagles will beat the niners and you'll have to get used to the fans for another 2 weeks and then the entire off season.

Yep, that's me.  Its not just because of that game though.

 

Philly fans, and Eagles fans in particular, think they are above the rest because they can throw beers on people and then physically abuse them, sometimes violently in nature, simply for being present as a visiting fan.  Its completely disrespectful and classless, for simply cheering for the visiting team.  2 weeks later, Eagles fans came to Mpls for the Super Bowl and portrayed that very same behavior.  I saw it with my own eyes.  I saw a group of their fans peeing on an ice sculpture of the Lombardi Trophy, just because.  From what I can gather just in this thread, you fall right in line with that fan base.

 

I've felt welcomed in places like New Orleans, Chicago, and Kansas City as a visiting fan.  I've even been invited over to a have a beer with fans tail gating prior to the game when I went to Arrowhead.  It was a pleasant experience and I hope to go back someday.

 

Additionally, I would never count my chickens before the eggs hatched either.  Because sometimes those eggs don't hatch.  At least we can agree that those Vikings fans doing the SKOL chant prior to the game in 2017 was a moronic idea that back fired.  Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Calling out one fan base is silly and ignorant at best.  There are morons in all fan bases but philly gets all the press.  Vikings fans stab people in parking lots and are just as much a fool as any.  I am also guessing you never even went to a tailgate in philly either because you would be invited over to have a beer too as long as you're not a moron you will be fine, I am guessing you would fall into that category though.

I watch and enjoy the game. I watch the teams and really don’t care about the fans.  I live in the mountains for a reason. I can’t stand cities whether it’s Philly or any other city. Let it go and don’t let some idiots live rent free in your head.

Doesn't look like any slaughtering is happening except by the Eagles!!!  Like I said we are gonna be around for a while, get used to it.

As a fan of an AFCN team, I can tell you the Who Dey fan base is an insufferable as they come.
