I have to think about it after tonight's game.  I don't like to predict during the week when games are still being played

I just hope Tampa wins

And not because I live in Fla

I personally think Dallas would fare better at SF than Tampa would. The Niners played the Bucs in November and they destroyed them.

Kicker for sale! ?

What is with Maher on those PATs

[flyfisher]

guess i got one wrong.....oh well.  I kind of figured the cowboys would win but i can't pick those frauds and their fans.   I bet they start burning couches and have a parade tomorrow in Dallas to celebrate the playoff win.

I think you under-estimate the Cowboys.  They have good metrics in both offensive and defensive categories.  If they play like they did last night, they will give the Niners a challenge.  On paper, its the closest game of the four divisional ones.  SF is favored by 3.5 points.

 

The Niners have not played a team of Dallas's caliber in 3 months.  The last high quality team they played was KC, way back on October 23, and they got manhandled.  That was still with Garrapolo at QB too.

 Every thirty years or so...

I agree, if Dallas plays like that " especially Dak " they can beat Mr irrelevant and the 49ers.

 

I had the Bucs winning because of Brady and Daks meltdown in post season.

Congratulations to the Cowboys.

Bucs weren't that good at all this season so it really isn't a surpised they lost.  Mcarthy is an average coach at best and Dak is nothing special, he's in the level of cousins really.  Parsons had a great game for the first time in a while and he has some talent.

Conference games are a dice throw, IMO. But I did expect the

Bills to easily beat a rook QB. But Fins came prepared, and hit

the Bills in the mouth toward end of first half. Shook the boys

up good.

 

Bottom line, Bills gotta play MUCH better with who's to come.

Hopefully they will. I can't stand this much longer w/o needing

to order a defibrillator for the house. I mean, come on!

 

Well, a defibrillator was almost needed for the Bills/Phins game.

I mean come on, Bills. I know division games are not always a

gimme, especially with the Phins. They're dangerous with two of

the fastest WRs on the planet.

 

Buffalo almost beat themselves. Play like that against Cincy and

they will.

 

No idea how next week plays out. Cowboys should be a bit ...

wary of the 9ers. Even with Mr. Irrelevant, they are a crazy tough

out. Bills/Cincy is a crap shoot. I won't count the Jags out, nor

the Giants.

Maher has the yips.

i heard something about the holder being involved with some other kicker who went through a similar thing too.  Kickers don't mean much until they do lol

The average ticket price for the Cowboys/49ers game on Sunday is almost 1500 bucks.

 

By comparison, the average ticket price for the Jags/Chiefs game on Saturday is 143 bucks. And for the Bengals/Bills, it’s 165 dollars.

 

Seems a little ridiculous, even for the Bay Area.

That’s crazy!

 

The cheapest Super Bowl tickets I found were $4500. The most I found was $45k a piece for mid field, 22 rows up, and come with VIP passes. Free food, so there’s that. ?

Yup! I’ll be the streaker on the field. Can I count on you for bail money?

Since I won't be watching this version of American Gladiators, I won't know if you get caught or not.

I’m overweight and out of shape so I guarantee I won’t be out running anyone. ?

Bills have another gear that they can go to and it will be needed against Cincinnati.

How Dak protects the ball will determine the outcome of that game against the Niners.

 

The 2nd half Jags against SD can beat anyone.

And lastly, the Giants won't beat Philly.

I sure hope the Bills get their transmission fixed and find that gear by Sunday.

How sure are we that Hurts is fully healthy?  He certainly wasn't in week 18 against the Giants.  For 14 weeks, he was running and slinging the ball at MVP caliber.  I knew his body wasn't going to hold up for a whole season doing that though, and it didn't.  He thought he was a hard ass for being able to squat more than other QBs in the league...until a linebacker landed on him after tackle.  Running quarterbacks are a thing in college football.  In the NFL, not so much.

 

We'll find out real quick how healthy he is on Saturday.  If they're calling designed runs like they have all season, the answer will reveal itself.

 I couldn’t agree more @gimruis as the injury to the Niners Trey Lance running inside is more proof to your point.
 I’m definitely looking forward to this Sunday’s game against Dallas. This Niners team is better than the 2021 team that beat the Cowboys in Dallas, especially on the offensive side of the ball.

 Speaking of this weekend’s playoff games, it was nice of the NFL to notify the Kansas City and Buffalo fans that the AFC Championship Game will be played in Atlanta, or did I get that wrong…

It's the Eagles ground game that has been the problem for the Giants. 

Eagles overwhelmed them at the line of scrimmage both games.

Not sure Hurts has to be at 100% to win this game.

I read earlier that they already started selling tickets for it too!  Joe Mixon thinks its a slap in the face for the NFL to already start planning and selling tickets for the Bills and Chiefs to be playing in the AFC Title game lol.
