So far... There may be more points coming 🤭

Would have been funnier if I wrote Campbell instead of Quinn... Oops 😂

Bitterly disappointing exit for the lions after such a good regular season. Missing a lot of defenders I know but they have to tighten up defensively to have a chance of an SB

18 players on injured reserve is insane. I think if they were healthy especially on D, they would make the SB

So the NFC North is now gone! 

NFC East still the best, Go Cowboys 🤣

The NFC North going 3 and out in the playoffs has exposed a few glaring weaknesses in the division ...

Detroit need to strengthen their defence and/or get healthy on defence

Minnesota probably need another QB after Darnold got exposed in their last 2 matches

Green Bay need to get stronger on defense and with the passing game.  The run is ok but another Josh Jacobs type would be handy

Bears need a year with Caleb Williams at the helm but need to surround him with a decent running game and not being relied upon re deep passes 

A greater array of shot cut-out passes with a decent tight end involved wouldn't hurt

What is everyone’s thoughts on the current playoff system…. I know the #1 seeds now get the week off (wether its an advantage or not) but it does seem cruel a side like Detroit can have such a good season & it’s one & done… My opinion is they should have something similar to our system where the top ranked sides have a second crack at it

Yes, the danger with having the first week off is a rested top seeded team can come out rusty.  But the top seeds could always conduct heavily simulated practice on the wild-card weekend (maybe they do that already?)

Green Bay succumbed to the Giants in the 2nd week of the playoffs in 2011/12 after a 15 & 1 season.  All over in a flash and a really empty feeling

In that season, the NY Giants got hot at the business end of the season and ended up winning the SB.  In the previous season, the Packers got hot in the playoffs and won it all (as the 6 seed)

But I wouldn't change their playoff system, JV.  It's incumbent on the seeded team to be ready to go and at their best

The issue with Detroit today was that they didn't play very well and looked flat.  But that's on them

Also, Washington played really really well and committed no errors.  They've now won 2 playoff games and have now reached the last 4

One more win and they're in the Super Bowl ... who would have thought?
