I'm normally pretty quick to jump on Goodell and the NFL for being counts, but I think it should be noted for the record that, contrary to all of the histrionics on this board, the Saints are playing on Sunday and TB is playing on Saturday.

and did I hear correctly that... much like Kamara... TB LB Devin White could've potentially played in a Sunday game but since the Bucs were put on Saturday there's no chance he can play against WFT?

Seattle/New Orleans & Tampa Bay/Green Bay

I think these are actually the best possible matchups in terms of excitement and intrigue.

As noted yesterday, this wasnt a goodell decision, its a tv network decision. If it were a goodell decision, i wouldve been worried

Not a bracket, but thank you for the info.

It looks like Tamp Bay will go to Green Bay in round 2

And LA or Seattle will play the Saints in nola

And it’s not impossible that Tampa could beat Green Bay

And have to play the Saints in the NFC championship game in the dome.

LA isn't coming to us. If they win and we win, we'll face winner of TB/wash

That's how i thought it should be. I saw a actual bracket and it showed the winner of saints-bears playing the packers in the second round. That can't be right can it? 1 and 2 seed should be the game with 4 teams left as long as they win.

Ah, yes.
If LA beats Seattle, LA goes to Green Bay

If Seattle beats LA, Seattle comes to the dome.

Correct?

Correct?

the only way the Rams wouldn't go to GB for a Divisional Round game if they beat the Seahawks is if the Bears beat the Saints

in that case... it would be Bears @ Packers & Rams @ TB/WFT winner

ETA: and yes... a Seattle win & Saints win sets up Seahawks @ Saints... no matter what happens in Landover, Maryland

ETA2: The only way we see the Tompa Bay in the Divisional Round (in the Dome, mind you) is a Saints win & the Rams beat the Seahawks with the Bucs beating the Football Team

I guess congrats to the Bucs on their win tonight

Alex Smith is inactive for the not-the-Redskins... so Taylor Heinicke will start at QB

if you want the Bucs to go to GB next week (assuming a Saints win tomorrow)... then yes you want Seattle to win right now

A Rams, Bucs, & Saints win would mean 6 Rams @ 1 Packers & 5 Bucs @ 2 Saints

think the Panthers fans are watching Heinicke here thinking "wait... he was with us and he's been able to do this the whole time???"
