The Lions actually f***ing did it. They won a playoff game. Last time was in 1992.

We'll see what happens next week, though.

I think Kerry Collins killed the Cowboys.

Incredible. Dan Campbell will never pay for a steak dinner in Motown again.

At least NFC went according to the plan.

I think they take the winner of Philly/Tampa.

I mean if the Eagles remember how to play, they could and probably should win the Super Bowl. But they are such a complete mess right now that I expect them to get run out of the stadium today.

Disagree that they "should" win the SB, their roster is very overrated, D is a mess and Hurts is nowhere near as elite as everyone thought he was last year. They have enough talent to be in the mix but even if everything was clicking for them, 49ers would be heavy favorites and I'd take Lions over them too but that's close. I think Eagles, even with all their recent issues, easily destroy the Bucs tonight who are a terrible team. After that anything can happen, playing in Detroit then most likely at SF if they advance will be much tougher than if they were hosting games but any given sunday and all

If only the Panthers were in the position to draft a player like that.

Don't worry, our coaching clusterf*** would mean that Stroud would be terrible and Young would be a brilliant young star for the Texans.

 

[HisIceness]

My picks weren't very good. Figured the Eagles would get their shit together, I figured incorrectly.

So who should feel worse right now, Cowboys fans or Eagles fans?

p.s. that safety was one of the dumbest plays I can remember. I know it wasn't the case, but if Hurts wanted to give up 2 points he couldn't have done a better job.

As an Eagles fan I can confidently say my hope died a few weeks back. Tonight was just a formality

Honestly pretty shocked, what an atrocious showing tonight. But also some credit to the Bucs and Baker who played extremely well. I think Lions handle them easily but we’ll see. This feels like another year both 1 seeds make the SB, but I’m pulling for the Chiefs and Lions/Packers

The coaching for the Eagles is abysmal. Defensively, they are dropping pass rushing specialists into coverage with regularity and putting corners on an island. On offense, they do not call any routes to help give Hurts a pressure valve against the blitz, so defenses are just sending everyone on 3rd down knowing they won't get punished for it. On top of all that, the team clearly quit on them weeks ago and they were just counting down the days to the off-season. It's horrible, and the entire coaching staff deserves to be fired. And from 10-1 to 11-6 and a first round blowout exit, everyone should be fired for it. Probably the worst coaching job I've ever seen.

I didn't mean just the playoff loss, I meant the entire season. How does the Dallas playoff drubbing compare to the Eagles plummet from a 10-1 start?

As for who is feeling worse right now? Dallas fans, absolutely, because Philly accepted this fate a while ago.

Dallas fans accepted their fate 30 years ago when JJ fired Jimmy Johnson because of Jerry's ego. Writing has been on the wall ever since.

While sports fandom has filled the communal bonding role that religion formerly played as our society secularizes, I can't say that I expected that to include human sacrifice.

Really? How many times have we killed our players?

Not sure but better add 1 to the total anyway

 

[HisIceness]

McCaffrey scores the game-winning TD and the 49ers advance to another NFCCG.

Good thing the Panthers got those draft picks for him.

They’re all equally delusional.

And Green Bay did exactly what I wanted them to - die after beating Cowboys.

Hehe.
