1 GB with a bye
2 Rams vs. 7 Saints
3 Bucs vs. 6 Eagles
4 Cowboys vs. 5 Cards

Then if Saints somehow pull off the win, it would be 1 GB vs. 7 Saints and probably 3 Bucs vs. Cowboys Cards winner. To me that sets up well for TB’s Super Bowl path.

They looked pretty cooked last year too until Cook fumbled bro. Weird to count them out after what we witnessed last year with them. They looked like literal arse all season until Cook fumbled and then they became dominant.

I mean it was the standard letdown spot in the NFL. They didn't have much to play for after clinching the NFC South last week. I wouldn't put much into that game. I do think they will lose in one of their first two games.

I don’t think the Bucs are making the super bowl. I’d lean towards the rams currently. Packers are the more obvious choice but the rams have so much talent

The Saints go as their QB pressure goes.

Pocket passers with limited mobility will have trouble with the Saints defense.

This is a weird year for so many reasons, and because of that I think every one in the NFC has a legit shot this year. If they get in and the Saints Def can stay healthy and they get their OTs back; Saints have favorable matchups to do some damage and make a run.

Rams have struggled against stout defenses and have a tendency to get 1 dimensional. That is a big opportunity for a healthy D-line.

The Saints team that beat GB is completely different now, and so is GB. So, the team and fans will be confident that they can win; but this will be a touch match-up. With that said, if the secondary stays focused and the team can limit the screen game damage, they have a solid shot

Saints v TB - don't need to say anymore
Saints v Dallas - Dallas goes as Zeke goes bc Dak feeds off the playaction so much. Saints Def can control Dal run game, and control this game.

A lot of these pieces can fall into place for this team to make the SB; HOWEVER, I believe they will fall short against GB and the NFCCG will be GB v Dallas (GB finally breaks the streak and wins the NFCCG). But, when you look at the individual match-ups if this team can stay healthy; you cannot think they are automatically out of it with no chance (as long as they are healthy in the front 7 and the OTs come back)

Bucs aren't a guarantee. They're beatable by any team in the league right now. Jets just Jets yesterday and let them come back.

they were still technically alive for the 1-seed (until GB locked it up last night)

that alone should've been motivation enough to give it 100% and not sleepwalk vs. the Jets

are we still sure that Saleh wasn't either A) paid under the table or B) blackmailed into that 4th & 2 decision?

seriously... a QB sneak on 4th & 2 from the TB 7 where a FG makes it a 7-point game

4th & inches... sure QB sneak all day... but 4th & 2 full yards??????? and your play call is a QB sneak????????

I'm assuming the Rams would rather play the Saints with that offense and QB situation over another team?
Incentive for them to play hard against 49ers

If they lose, they're most likely going to Dallas next week

IF we get in to the playoffs and have to face the rams game 1. Im not worried about our defense. Im trying to figure out how will we score points. Not because of our inexperienced WR group, not because of our Swiss Army Knife QB, but because of our horrible guard tandem. Who is stopping Donald? If he’s matched up on Ruiz it will be a very long night for our o line. We hope our tackles are back but they’ve been MIA down the stretch. We would have trouble with him if our O line was fully healthy.

Yes, especially. Stafford can be as good as any QB in the league with a clean pocket...with pressure he can drop to the bottom third of the league. It's astonishing.
