I would rather smash on Brady at Home in the Championship round.

I'm hoping for this path: Vikings - Bucs

Anyone we get to beat in the end.

There is a nice thing to putting all our historical bugbears to the sword though: Dallas and GB last year, Seattle so far, so the obvious one remaining is the Giants... only we can't play them next round. So, I'd say Minnesota as payback for '87, only we already paid them back for that a few times already ('88, '19, I'm sure I'm forgetting one more).

So, anyone really. As long as we get to win.

I think we should pull for Vikes. That way, Dal goes to Phili and wins, and we get the NFCCG at home.

Dallas ain't beating the Eagles. We'll be on the road if we reach the NFCCG.

Yeah I get the feeling the Giants would be a better matchup against the eagles for some reason. This time with them Trying to win with their starters.

Jalen Hurts is playing injured, they didn't have an easy time beating Giants team B. No NFC team is scary.

Pretty sure anyone left in the NFC right now is capable of beating the Eagles given the way they've played in the last 3-4 weeks. Not saying it will happen, but certainly possible.

Yeah, main reason I don't want to play the Eagles is having to travel to the East Coast to play them in a hostile environment.

Playing them at home would not be as bad.

Prefer Bucs or Cowboys at home.

Aj brown gonna kill us like every other stud receiver. Ryans needs to dial up 5 manv rush schemes and choose wisely.

If he get's open like the Raiders receivers did against us and the Seattle receivers did against us, we're going to be in trouble, I agree.

Looks like weather will be good, so Purdy should look good from the start!

This question is easiest answered by figuring which team is most likely to knock out Philly in the Divisional. Given the remaining possibilities, we can all agree that the Giants are highly unlikely to beat Philadelphia in Philadelphia.

therefore our best bet to get the NFCC game in SC is by hoping that TB or Dallas knock the Eagles out. I personally think Tom Brady has a better shot then Dak.

therefore I am rooting HEAVY for Minnesota to win (hopefully a bruiser so they are soft next week and TB on MNF…
