Who you rather play?
Commies win, we go to Philly. Bucs win, we go to Detroit. Call me crazy, I'd rather go to Detroit.

It's close, but we know how we've faired against the Lions twice...we don't know how we'd play against the Eagles, and because of that I'd rather play the Eagles. Both are super difficult match ups but let's just take care of business in Arizona first.

This is truly a catch 22.
- I don’t like our match up with the Rams
- If we somehow pull off the win I am not sure who I would rather play given what happened the last time we were in Detroit and what Philly just did to Green Bay in terms of physicality.
Detroit.
Trying to best divisional opponent 3 times would be entirely on the Lions.
Dan Quinn not taking field goals on the road, in tight game was really bad.
Dan Campbell Brain has become a thing....
Don't trade JJ.

That's kinda my thinking. I think if Sam wasn't high and outside on virtually ALL of his passes in Detroit last week, we probably win, or at least it goes down to the wire. And I agree, beating a team three times in one season is a really hard thing to do. That first game was a draw.

I wish the “it’s hard to beat a team 3 times in the same” was true. It’s over 60%…

The "sweeping" team is almost always the better team. Of course they're going to have the better record in 3rd games. I think the fact that the "swept" team wins 40% of them makes a pretty good case that it actually isn't easy to beat a team three times.
First things first though. Beat LA.

Thats where my head is at this am...
Anything can happen, but I think there are tiers in the NFC and the Vikings are in that 2nd tier
Tier 1
Det
Eagles
Tier 2
Vikings
Commanders
Rams
Bucs
Packers
Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!
