"I had a vision, like Viserys �� & his dream: Tom Brady gets to his 11th Super Bowl by beating Kirk Cousins, Jimmy G & Daniel Jones. ... It would be poetic if it's Chiefs-Bucs again, Patrick Mahomes wins & sends Brady into retirement." — @getnickwrightpic.twitter.com/qx7mMQw2lx

Ugh no thanks. Refs would never let it happen. They were determined to call every ticky-tack foul on our D in the SB - even when we were getting trounced. [Reply]

No kidding. A couple of the other contenders will probably get their shit together by then as well, but Philly looks far and away the favorite for the NFC. [Reply]

Cousins is so underwhelming though, especially in big games. [Reply]
I think the Eagles have all the talent it really is a question of how Hurts plays in the big moments. I'm not sure I really trust Kirk Cousins much more. He's better than people give him credit for, he can actually win games but he'll also have games where he just lays a giant egg and doesn't seem to play his best when all the lights are on him.
The sleeper team might honestly be the Cowboys. Their defense is legit which might be enough in a terrible conference. Offense isn't what it was but keep Dak healthy and make a few plays and they probably have as good a shot as anyone right now. [Reply]

Because historical precedent says that a 3-5 team doesn't make the playoffs, sure. But in this case, that's good for 1st place in the division.
I don't know it happened once before right
I mean according to the video there's only been 5 teams as bad as the Bucs are right now at running and they won a combined 5 games in the last half the season. but yeah considering how god awful their division is I think there's an extremely good chance they win the division sub .500
shit it's brady the nfl loves him he'll probably still be in a SB despite the bucs and brady both being dogshit right now [Reply]

I give him one year at SF and that's it. He won't play for a team that doesn't have the perfect situation and only they do and only they would want him. [Reply]
