Oh I think Bill can definitely offer more, just wondering if Dallas is the best fit. For Dallas it is exactly what they need, a big fish. Someone who everyone in that city can get behind and install belief in a vision. However Jerry and Steven would really have to let him do his thing. He can't be overruling on drafting decisions or saying he doesn't like a certain player because they aren't showtime enough or give ridiculous contracts to free agents because unlike others Bill just won't take any junk from him. Personally I wouldn't mind seeing Bill end up at the Chargers and seeing what he can do with Herbert. With so many jobs on offer I'm definitely expecting him in one of them.

I can't get my head around Dak and Lamb having that moment on the sideline about not being on the same page. All year the chemistry has been electric between those two, maybe the best QB-WR connection in the league? Yet all of a sudden they lose it in the most important game? Deeper questions need to be asked there and you have to start with the coach.

Belichick to Dallas? Possible or stupid? Personally I can't see Bill going anywhere where he can't be GM or at least have a big say in drafting. Jog on.

The Rams are one of the most dangerous wildcard teams on the NFC side for mine. Their form on the last 5 weeks is close to best in NFL. Really physical and if you just happen to catch them on a day when Stafford, Kupp, Nucua and Higbee look like they're playing flag football then good fricken luck!

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised nor would I defend him if it happened. 3 x 12 win seasons in a row and they have bottled it every time. I've never seen anything expansive or innovative about McCarthy's playbook and its my opinion that he succeeds when he has really strong coordinators. He's a facilitator coach and not a lot more. I wouldn't mind seeing Dan Quinn get another shot

My dad is renowned for seeing who 'the tipsters' in the newspaper have tipped as research when doing his weekly footy tips. I still don't know why.

At half time in that game I still thought thr Cats were a show. We missed some opportunities in the first half and went in 5 goals up. A quick goal to start the 2nd half and the Cats would have been within 4 and we'd have had a game. Fortunately we started the half with a Benny Brown dagger. The worst is when you get ribbed for these views by fellow laid back too cool for school MFC fans. "Relax bro we're 4 goals up" It's my belief that everyone has their own in-built understanding of when a game is over and everyone else is wrong.

After all that Dallas miss the extra point. Nothing going right

Aaron Jones has turned that slit into a gash.

I remember a Wildcard game in the 2002 season between the Niners and Giants at the old Candlestick. 14-38 down at half time and rallied back to win. Strange things can happen in playoffs, just sayin.

At this point right now no QB is playing better with what they have than Jordon Love

Ferguson is in and finally Dallas give these of us who took today off something to watch.

Dallas must score on this drive and get something going into the 2nd half with the ball

Holy bazumba. Pick 6 from Savage. Jerry will be cracking it

Bang bang no press man coverage and Nicks is in the endzone for 20-0. Dallas in trouble..

Aaron Jones into the endzone after a Packers INT. 14-0 GB

I'm tired of the excuses. Collingwood had a nightmare of a year with injuries and while their situation did come good at the right time they mostly got through it. Their most important player was missing for their final against us, it was all laid out perfectly and people still want to winge about our circumstances. If the team actually thought like this then it shows mental fragility which I've said all along can be changed but needs to be checked. I know people are getting tired of hearing this but when you lose 4 finals at home then I see no problem asking these questions, you don't continue to sit there and make excuses. You do that after 1 or maybe 2 tops. Do I think we got unlucky? Yes of course, especially with the Petty injury. But there are plenty that will point out that our gameplan stacked up and that we only lost by single margins and if we were more accurate blah blah. What's the excuse for that? I'm beyond caring about hurting feelings or putting noses out of joints with this view. If you don't like it, please yourselves. When clubs like Port and Brisbane have exited finals like this in the past the overwhelming view here is that they choked. Use the same brush. But the question is about the window and if it is closing, no it is not. Ib my view we could take a little step back this year but in the era of free agency and smart drafting we can very much put ourselves back up near 12:00 by acquiring new pieces. Our core is still strong.

This is a joke right?

That pre season was apparently amazing though and 'poles apart' from what we put up in the first few rounds according to Neil Craig.

Dolphins and Chiefs is going to be a banger and not as easy to pick as you'd think. Giving KC the edge because I do think Tua can go to water with pressure and Spagnuolo has been really good at calling 3rd down pressure plays.

DeMeco Ryans has proven to be a real head coach. Fixing up the Texans run defense in one season is extremely impressive.

Bottled it. For a guy with experience you'd expect better.

Sounds a bit Mick Malthousey to me. Pete is a coach!

Stroud works perfectly for this system. If only Bryce Young had as much to work with.

Cleveland @ Houston Null Miami @ KC (7-12) Pittsburgh @ Buffalo (1-6) Green Bay @ Dallas (7-12) LA Rams @ Detroit (1-6) Philadelphia (1-6) @ Tampa Bay
