San Francisco and the 7 Dwarves

[fightinfunbags]

Here we are going into divisional weekend of playoffs and 8 teams remain. It’s fairly evident that it’s the Niners and everybody else. They’re the most complete team in football. I think Shanahan finally gets his ring this year. They’ve seemed like a team on a mission all season long.

Are you taking the Niners to win the Super Bowl or are you taking the field?

The Ravens destroyed SF when they played on Christmas. I don’t know how you think they aren’t above them.

The Bills will win it all over the Lions

I resent this, but it’s hard to argue. Chiefs offense is just too damn basic with the receivers and every other team has a similar personnel issue or the QB just ain’t it.

The only glitch in the matrix is Purdy being exposed. Everything else about the Niners at a fundamental level is better, imo. COULD make the case the Ravens will end up being better, but I wouldn't be confident in it.

I'm not sure what to think. The Packers looked like world beaters, although maybe Dallas was too highly rated. Regardless, I think the Packers are the hottest team in the playoffs and may give the 49ers a scare.

I'm waiting for Lamar to show up in the playoffs. This should be his year, and he looks freaky good this year, but I don't have confidence in him yet. I still wouldn't pick against him though.

The Bills are intriguing as I think they often underachieve. Maybe this year will be different.

I'm just glad the Lion's got the playoff monkey off their back. I think they should beat the Bucs, but I picked against the Bucs in the Philly game, so what do I know! (right @DJ). I think the best Detroit can hope for is the NFC championship game. I hope I'm wrong.

My heart wants a Lions vs Bills SB, but head tells me it will be a Baltimore vs 49ers rematch from SB past.

If @fightinfunbags jinx attempt works here i will give him all my fake money

It's a good attempt, but he is kinda low-key right even if he was attempting to be ironic. I hope my Chiefs are the benefactor of this jinx.

Don't look past those Bucs....that game isn't going to be easy for the Lions....

I am not sure that Bucs OL is gonna hold up against the Lions DL to keep Baker "clean clean" he generally needs to be effective. Maybe the Bucs score anyways like last night, but the Lions D at least looks like an NFL D mostly as of late.

The Lions being 1 game from a SB appearance seems like an NFL blasphemy, but it looks like it's gonna happen, imo.

The Bucs still have a pretty good defense. Top 10 in ppg allowed while the Lions are in the bottom 10.

Not saying they will win just yet (I want to see more info leading up to the game) but I expect a good game.

They are undeniably an elite Run D, but they're only 18th in EPA/Play against the pass before turnovers. I think the Lions are a bad draw for them, especially on the road. Detroit is sneaky one of the loudest venues in the NFL, imo.

 

[DJ]

The Lions weakness is their pass defense. Only 5 teams are worse in ypg allowed while the Lions have a good run defense.

 

[Iggloo]

The NFC looks pretty mediocre for sure. I think Detroit has a puncher's chance to beat the Niners but that's probably it.

We shall see.

Yeah. Their pass D is cheeks and Goff wilts at any sign of pressure throughout his career. Lions OL is a beast, but you're asking a lot out of them to stop the Niners, imo.

Nice try, I really thought the Eagles were that team (and so did you at first). Jinx threads don't work unless you really believe it.

We know you got the Ravens winning. So do I frankly, Ravens over Niners

Baltimore and Detroit are Dwarves?????
