infrared41 Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 Listening to the Bill Simmons Podcast today... Simmons: “The Chiefs are #11 in the AFC playoff standings.” Cousin Sal: “The committee will still vote them in though, right?” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDK. Maybe the 49ers DC said "ok, instead of this zone, let's put you on him and you on the other one", or some similar adjustment. Then the Eagles OC was like "oh poop.... I have nothing."

ruttep Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 I am looking forward to hopefully an AFC Championship Game without the Chiefs, or at least one not at Arrowhead. I am also fully prepared for this statement to age like milk. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont care Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 2 hours ago, BBTV said: Not as much as the Eagles. An anonymous player told a reporter that they're pissed off about how much better the Cowboys play design is than theirs, and how the Cowboys plays are designed to get the ball out of Dak's hands quickly, while their plays take 10 minutes to develop and result in fire drills where Jalen either gets sacked or has to motion for guys to go somewhere they weren't supposed to. That's pretty much unheard of for this team in the Sirianni era, and especially with Jalen Hurts, who is among the best leaders I've ever seen. That's clearly a shot at their overmatched OC, and a potential sign that they're falling apart. I don’t think you watched the end of the Seahawks game. They were dysfunctional and you had DK Metcalf ripping people’s heads off, and then a few plays later try and fight the whole team because they got and interception.

BBTV Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 Continuing the Eaglejack, just heard that if they get the #2 seed, which they would by them and SF winning out, then Dallas would play in SF, thereby eliminating one of them, and then if Eagles win their home games, Dallas (if they beat SF) would play the NFCCG in Philadelphia. So while they look like one of the worst teams in the NFL right now, there's still a chance that they can get right "enough" to end up in a good spot. Ironically, getting the #2 is better than getting #1, where to get to the SB, they'd have to beat both Dallas and SF, which we just saw ain't going to happen, no matter how "right enough" they can get themselves. 1 Quote "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

I think that the number 1 seed is always the goal though -- guaranteeing a first-round bye and a home-field NFC Championship game is a huge advantage. A bye week right before the most important football games of the season is the best "get right" opportunity that a football team can get. The 49ers were limping into their bye week in the midst of a three-game losing streak, but came out of the bye looking refreshed and rejuvenated, embarking on an active five-game win streak.

So in this scenario, you’d have the Cowboys beating the 49ers. In San Francisco. In the playoffs. While coached by Mike McCarthy.

There's just something different about the Cowboys I saw last night vs the ones that are always good but then fall on their faces. Dak may have me fooled - I hope so. And let me rephrase my earlier statement. Of course, #1 is always better than #2. The bye week alone is probably worth at least as much as the home-field in the CG. My point was simply that there's at least some silver lining if they fail and finish 2 (though at this point, it could very easily be 5, behind a sub-.500 team.) But you'd always choose playing 2 games at home vs playing 3 anywhere, regardless of opponents. 1 Quote "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

I think they'd come into that game pissed off knowing how the last two seasons ended, and how the Niners were the only team to make Dak look truly mortal this season. I still have confidence in the Niners against anybody, but no game in the NFL is ever a guarantee (besides Joe Namath), especially in the playoffs.

Vikings, Lars Gunderson.
