NYG have to be the dumbest franchise in the NFL.

Winning last week against another team that wants to tank was one thing but there was absolutely no reason to win this week or even start Dart. Went from possibly getting the 1 pick to the 5-6 position due to 2 meaningless wins.

Broncos still need to win this game, but assuming they do is this Broncos team the worst No.1 seed since that Titans team that went out in straight sets a few years ago? The Broncos might paraphrase Jack Sparrow and say "Yes, but we are the #1 seed"

What I'm saying though for a team like say Buffalo, Texans, Baltimore, a trip to Denver in the divisional round isn't their worst nightmare.

Blessed to have them and Jerreh Jones in the NFC E

Eagles need to get some starters back in... couple of scoring drives could get the 2 seed

The whole AFC is a bit of a mess this season. Do any of the top 3 seeds scream SB winners? I give Buffalo and Houston huge chances as wild cards and Ravens if they get there can cause damage as a 4th seed.

Jacksonville looks like scariest team in the AFC since Lawrence is no longer throwing 3 picks a game and his receivers are now catching the ball. That said it looks like we'll get a Bills V Jags playoff game next week and the Bills winning wouldn't surprise anyone. Which is how the AFC is shaking out.

Broncos offense is looking awful. Defence is carrying the team, but it's not as scary as the either the Texans or Seahawks.

LAC @ NE
BUF @ JAX

Both 3v6 matchups look like the money games for the broadcasters.

Anyone see that last game to end the regular season? Completely wild.

Hard to not feel for the rookie kicker there.

Bill's looking at a few tough Games now
If the Bills get passed the Jags, Broncos would be next, most likely. I see them getting back to the AFC championship if they beat the Jags.
Jags look like the form team in the AFC at the moment. That beat down of Denver a couple of weeks ago was the Jags announcing they're for real.

Despite being a wild card, Allen will never get a better chance with Mahomes, Burrow and Lamar all absent.

Anyone else want to put a prediction out there?

I'll have a go. A couple of things to keep in mind though I was picking at 64% and am a long suffering Phins fan.
I do agree though that this is the Bills best chance with Cook and Josh Allen in form and no Mahomes or Ravensalong with a shaky AFC playoff field.

Texans V Steelers
Bills V Jags - Game of the round as possibly the playoffs. Really looking forward to this one. 4am kickoff, I'm in.
Chargers V Patriots

Rams
V Panthers
49ers V Eagles
Paclers V Bears

Divisional:
Bills V Broncos
Taxans V Patriots

Packers V Seahawks
49ers V Rams

Championship
Bills V Patriots - Go the meteor!
Rams V Seahawks

Superbowl:
Bills V Rams

It wouldn't surprise me if the winner of the Jags Bills game makes the SB though. Jags have gone 5-3 Vs other playoff teams

Mike McDaniel just became available.

If he wants to be a head coach again the Ravens job would be perfect (and if Lamar is fit they'd be amazing to watch).

If he is happy to be an OC then the Lions and Bucs would be explosive next season.

Even OC in Baltimore with Salah as head coach.

If Philly loses on the weekend Howie should back up the truck at McDaniel's house.

I think the Lions or maybe the Chiefs have just found their new OC. I doubt he steps straight back into a HC position. But yeah, McDaniels phone is ringing off the hook with OC offers right now.
New York or Atlanta seem likely places for Harbaugh.

Not sure where that leaves Miami. We're not getting Harbaugh. In terms of desirable places to go to Miami is just above the Browns honestly. No QB, dire cap situation. Next year for Miami is dead and this season ain't even done yet.

Miami will be back on the HC carousel in two years time is my prediction.

Regardless of how this season ends, he should do that
Legimately if they won the SB, firing Patullo and hiring Mike McDaniel would be a sound move.
