I'm fine with anyone but the Giants.

From most worried to least

Giants > Hawks > Pack > Cowboys > Falcons > Lions

Any given Sunday ofc, but Seattle and GB both seem to have our number and I'd rather avoid teams we don't have a good track record against.

I honestly want Dallas. I think it'd be an insanely entertaining and high-scoring game. We could watch Dallas rush for 200+ yards and throw for an additional 250. We would shutdown Dez, which could disrupt them entirely with how much of a factor he's been in recent games. We'd get to see some Tommy Fantastic heroics for the win or loss. Our line is significantly better than last year, but I still worry about playing teams with a terrifying front 4 and would prefer we avoid it all together.

We still have to get past KC & PIT. Those are the only two teams in the AFC who have me worried now. We'll see what happens, but this year is looking good for NE.


I ain't scared of the MACadoo led Giants, I'd rather play em than the 'boys or 'seahawks. Seahawks by far have the best coach out of all those NFC contenders, Packers not far behind w/ McCarthy but i'd be surprised if they make the SB.

also how fucking sweet would it be to beat the giants in a super bowl lol, high risk high reward situation though, if we lost a super bowl on the other hand to the giants again, dear god, we'd never hear the end of it lol, i can hear it now "Giants OWN the patriots" "John Mara runs the patriots organization"

Yall talking like we're in the SB already.

Don't forget that the AFC still has some good teams in the playoffs, it won't be a cakewalk.

I'm pretty sure that only KC and Pitt have the roster strength to knock us out in NE. I can't possibly see anyone else coming into our house and taking it away from us. Either way, it's going to be a fun postseason. Lets all just start praying that Tommy T can get his 5th ring.

Don't sleep on Oakland. Without Carr it will obviously be a challenge for them, but that is still a really good team. He's not their only player.

Dolphins too, as much as I hate them they've been decent.

you're really one of those guys? lol

i agree though Oakland could still put up a fight for sure. i'm just not fearful of them anymore w/ out Carr, haven't seen enough of McGloin or w/e yet to make a better judgement

regardless of the outcome of next sunday's game, Miami is a joke. If it weren't for Jay Ajayi they would be dogshit

They've won 9 of their last 10, are a division rival, and are hungry with this being their first postseason in what 9 years?

Dolphins aren't a bad team, and to write them off as a free win is silly

This. They're a one dimensional team and we'll put them in their place in NE. They might take a game off us in Miami, but no fucking way do they beat us in the playoffs.

Oakland is obviously still a possible contender, but it's hard to imagine they'll be able to get it done with a backup. I also don't see us playing Oakland as even a possibility anymore, they have to get through Pitt first, which I really don't think they'll be able to do. Their defense is atrocious and if their offense loses even a step due to having a second string QB, Pitt and the 3 Bs will fucking feast. NE or KC v PITT AFCCG.

KC still scares the shit out of me. I'm really thinking it'll be KC v PITT, with KC advancing and Dallas or GB winning the whole thing.

Not a free win, but they'd have to beat Pitt in Pitt before playing us. I don't see that happening.

Edit - They beat one positive team in that 10 game stretch and also got utterly shit on by Baltimore, a team we just beat.

dude... they played a bunch of shit teams... the only two good teams they beat in that 10 game stretch you mentioned were the steelers & cardinals... come on lol. Houston and Miami are by far the two worst teams in the playoffs, and it's not even close.

KC has it's flaws we could exploit. I heard yesterday they are in the bottom 5 (i think 28th or 29th) in 3rd down defense in the league. add that with tom brady, who is very good on 3rd downs, and we should be able to keep our defense off the field

Kelce & Tyreek Hill both really scare the shit out of me they could give us a lot of problems. Alex smith as well, I bet he could rush for an easy 50+ yards on us.

they have a great front 7 too, J Houston and even Tamba Hali is still pretty damn good, probably missing others as well
