Seed                     AFC                         NFC
1 Kansas City Chiefs (West winner) Green Bay Packers (North winner)

7 Indianapolis Colts (wild card) Chicago Bears (wild card)

My four out:  Steelers, Colts, Bears, Seahawks

My four in:  Bengals (but of course!), Patriots, 49ers, and Giants (I think Saquan being back will be huge for them)

5 out -- Colts, WFT, Steelers, Saints, Bears
5 In -- Minn, Giants, San Diego/Las Vegas, Dallas, Miami

I think a lot of late responders will be adding Dallas....Offense looked lethal, passing at least.

Steelers, Saints, Colts and Ravens. Bengals in, other 3 don't care!

Out: Browns, Rats, Saints, WFT

In: Pats, Giants, Bengals (why not?), Falcons

Chargers did a good job addressing that OL by signing Linsley and Feiler, then drafting Slater.

That is if Dak can stop turning the ball over...

That Tampa front is tough but damn did they get thin in the Secondary after that game. That was a bad injury to that one 
Corner ugh.

So, you could say:

Out with the burgh, Browns, Bayou, and Bears

In with Cincy, Chargers, Cards, and Cowboy

I'm so clever...

Can I just say some of my faith in this board is renewed by all the folks saying pitt will be out...

Me in the X-wing...Get it?  X?  Ugh, I will stop now....

Yes, ouch...that looked worse than when Eifert's bicep rolled up his arm.  Tampa turned the ball over a shit ton and still won.  Probably just so they wouldn't cover.  Groan.

Yeah that was ugly. His arm just got destroyed. Definitely broke it, nasty. 

Was a good game to watch though besides the turnovers. Was a very good opener, was surprised by how well the Cowboys 
played but they didn't have much of a chance against that front. Vita Vea is a stud, same with JPP and Shaq Barrett, not even
mentioning Suh and those Linebackers. But if they keep losing players in their secondary they might not be a favorite to repeat.

Dallas (Kellen Moore) had an excellent, repetitive attack:  that weak CB.  They went after him again and again.  Didn't care if he threw it 60 times, he attacked their weakness.  

I suspect Tampa is looking right now at addressing the injury area any way they can.

Kellen Moore is a damn good OC from what I saw in that game.

Wish Zac could call games like that if he is stubbornly wanting to throw the ball too much, that is the way to do it.

For sure.

In:

9ers, cards, Bengals, Chargers

Out:

Browns, Bears, Saints, Colts


I could also see the browns making it and another north team like us or the Steelers not making it. If the Ravens continue to get decimated by injuries maybe they falter. It’s also possible 3 teams from seattle’s division don’t make it, and a team like the Cowboys, bears or Vikings somehow sneak in. Colts and saints have good teams, but obviously QB is a big question mark. I like WFT as the winner of their division, but cowboys could be close.
