NFL Playoffs

Seems like the Oakland-Houston game reinforced the importance of having a quality quarterback. (Same story for the Dolphins...to a lesser extent). Even though the Raiders were the better team throughout the season they were sunk once they had to go to their third string QB. Connor Cook is no Derek Carr.

I believe this issue is at the root of the Gators' struggles over the last few years, overshadowing coaching, play calling, recruiting, etc. If and when a game-chaning QB once again lines up behind center.....brighter days will follow.

That's been exactly our problem.

Technically, the Titans are the old Oilers and the Texans are an expansion team. Just sayin...

No. That doesn't fit my narrative.

I had Bell, Rothlisberger, and Brown on my FF football team. The Steelers basically rested everybody for the last two weeks of the season. So I was wiped out in the first round of playoffs.

Sucks to be you

Chiefs would be the stars if they kept their original name

Raiders lost starting and back up qb, can't really prepare for that with the cba practice restrictions

Zero of giant DBs attempted to knock it down. That's on them

Go Cowboys. I am definitely nervous about them playing the Packers with Rodgers playing well now. I hope Prescott can keep having good games. Both sides are wide open especially the NFC and I could see the Pittsburgh/Kansas City winner beating New England.

Sorry but I see history repeating itself by Green Bay winning at Dallas as no rookie QB has ever led a team to a Super Bowl victory.

History repeat itself, since Dallas has had there own stadium the home team has always won in the Green Bay vs Dallas playoff history. So if history repeats itself, Dallas wins. Only playoff win for The Packers in Texas vs the Cowboys was 1967 in the CottonBowl stadium.

A win by dallas doesnt put anyone in the super bowl so this doesn't really make sense. Now is it significant that this is a playoff game with a rook qb? Yes, but Dak is certainly the exception not the rule.

I honestly don't think Packers will win because they arent good at stopping the run and really arent much better at stopping the pass. Dallas will run early and often, control the clock and limit Aaron's opportunities with the football. I hate it but I think Dallas wins. And for the record, I am a HUGE Packers fan. :(

I think that will be dallas's best defense is limiting possessions for Green Bay's offense. If Dallas does what it did in Green Bay earlier in the season it will help keep Rodgers out of rythm which he said was important against the Gaints. Too many short 3 and outs dallas's defense will be toast

The nfl playoffs this past weekend were as bad as the college football playoffs!

Nothing brings me more joy in the NFL than seeing Eli Manning lose. I cannot stand the entire Manning clan, but Eli most of all. That Packers annihilation sure brought a smile to my face.
