Haha while that is the most likely game at the moment, there are a lot of teams who can stop that from happening was my point.

Who exactly? You can (easily) stop the Falcons if you keep their offense off the field like the Eagles did yesterday, their D is nowhere near good enough to make a serious run in the playoffs imo. The Vikings look completely void of ideas on offense, the Packers secondary and running game is non-existent and the Cards don't look good enough to stop either the Hawks or Boys. As it stands right now, Seattle vs Dallas is an obvious choice...

In the AFC it's going to be Patriots vs someone out of the AFC West imo. Houston isn't good enough and the North looks as bad a division as anyone right now.
 
I know that Seahawks looked great yesterday but the Patriots have no pass rush at all and so I am still not sure about the Seahawks offence because that Oline is very weak. They are playing the Eagles next week and I would have definitely fancied us against the Seahawks if the game was at home. I think Seahawks getting the second seed is no guarantee at the moment and if they finish outside the top2 then that completely changes the whole playoff dynamics

Cowboys for real tbh. Would be astonishing if they ruin it by putting Romo back in.

Another 2 point conversion attempt aha

Lads, it's the Cowboys.

The NFC is unusually weak this season. Gives me hope we'll be able to sneak in through the Wild Card and allow Eli to work his magick.

Thing is we've been pretty terrible, had a malfunctioning line, no run game, a hundred injuries including a hobbled Wilson and we're still where we are. We don't even usually start playing well until the second half of the season.

I think things are looking up for us now. All we have to do is throw to Graham in the end zone..
 
Its the Cowboys but theyve won some really good matches this year and a 8 game winning streak is nothing to laugh about. And theyve got strength in all positions, on both sides with defence and offence. And a QB who doesnt feel pressure and a strong running game.

So happy Graham is firing again. Loved him at the Saints and didn't understand his move to Seattle at the time.

Cowboys defense is still garbage, better than expected but still woeful. They win by (normally) controlling the gameclock through the offensive line and running game. I think they're an elite pass rusher and an elite cover corner from being a potentially dominant club. Even as a lifelong fan I can't see them winning the NFC just yet but I'll gladly root for it.

Pool on when he's taken off?

:lol: You never know with Fisher but I really hope they stick with him for the rest of the season. Going forward, he just has to be a better option than Case fecking Keenum.

And for the sake of my fantasy team, I hope he gets some production out of Gurley.

I can't stand the Rams but I hope he does well to be fair, the way it's gone has been shitty for him and he deserves a good showing.

It's because how disappointing Hard Knocks was, isn't it? Major letdown compared to the Texans' one or All or Nothing with the Cardinals.

But yeah, I hope he does well too.

It's not just that it was a disappointing show after the Texans/Cardinals, it's that the majority of the team came across like dickheads.

Did the Seahawks just release CMIKE? What's happening?!?

His touches were being reduced for a couple of weeks now and Rawls is set to play again this week while Prosise is an exciting prospect, but that came pretty much out of nothing indeed.
 
Wow, CMike released.

His problem is that he falls over his own legs and goes down too easily but still! He's far better than our third option Alex Collins.

Rawls must be good to go.
 
Fair play to Romo. Kill the speculation and let the team get on with it. The rookies are doing something incredible & it would've been super stupid to mess with it when they're on this win streak.
 
Much respect for Tony Romo. Although it's pretty obvious who should be the starter, Romo shows what it means to be a good teammate. Classy.

@Eboue Still think that Romo should be the starter?
 
I'd take the Seahawks over the Cowboys. Dak has been good but for me Romo is better. Dark has been exceptionally lucky to be behind the Great Wall of Dallas and the best running game in the NFL. Romo is the better QB in my opinion

Tony Romo had that too...after all, DeMarco Murray did the same thing a couple of seasons ago. Of course, Jerry decided Murray was expendable and while McFadden got the job done...Romo couldn't take a hit and their season fell apart.

There is no question Romo is a better qb than Dak right now - there really shouldn't be a debate on this issue. But he can't stay fit and that team has a lot of momentum going, unless Dak falls apart in the next 2-3 games, Romo won't be doing anything more than mop up duties the rest of the season.
 
Panthers with a win that just about keeps their slim playoff chances alive.

Anything can happen in the playoffs but right now it looks like Seattle/Dallas will win the NFC. AFC is a bit harder to call but I think it'll be Pats & Chiefs who battle it out.

@Phil Where do you see Rawls fitting into your lineup. Back up for Prosise?

Hmmm, wondering myself as I've got Rawls in fantasy. I think they'll probably split reps this week but then it'll be Rawls as the work horse back with Prosise as a third down and dual threat with his receiving ability. Agree?

I think so too. I keep hearing that Prosise will be the main target but I am not too convinced by him.
 
Three missed PATs in the first half hour :lol: What the feck is up with kickers these days...
