    How in the hell can you have a “team theme song” that is over two minutes long and has nearly a twenty second intro? Love to hear the crowd try to sing and dance to that one, the guy sitting in the stands can run out and get another beer before the song ends

    If they only had Hugh McElhenny
    As an aside, did you see E-40 (and Too Short) were invited to the White House yesterday with the Warriors? Kamala Harris was born in The Town.

Purdy has shown he can handle the pressure and the talent on the rest of the roster matches anyone else. All props to Philly and the season they have had but Brock Purdy has won more playoff games than Jalen Hurts. Point being don't pencil them into the SB just yet.

    (Edit: I think K.C. is rightfully the favorite to win the SB but they aren't an unbeatable team.)
    yes, very weak. Last year is meaningless. No sense even bringing it up - every year is different in the NFL

    It isn't a coincidence that 3 out of the 4 left in the NFC are in the East. I think Washington was even a better team than the Seahawks - as was the Lions.

    Purdy has not played a top defense yet. He will sunday. I expect he will look confused and very much like a rookie. Fortunately for him the running game and defense is the strength of that team

    Ain’t a team song, Buffalo’s “Shout,” or the Cubs “Go Cubs Go,” are theme songs, something everyone in the stadium sings along to, ain’t no two minute rap song matches those for crowd participation or excitement

    And SF is a good club, exciting, with lot of talent, but teams traveling East, which eventually they would have to do if Philly emerges as predicted, especially in incumbent weather, often don’t fare well

    No one is proclaiming him to be the next Mahomes or Allen. But dude has a certain 'it' factor about him and has done an incredible job so far. The Niners have numerous weapons on offense and arguably the best defense in the league. Can the Cowboys beat them? Sure. But sleep on the Niners at your own peril.

    Most famous personality to come out of SF were the Grateful Dead, Levi Strauss, and McElhenny, I got his card in a classic NFL trading card series when I was a kid, couldn’t trade for anybody, but I recall OJ saying he was one of inspirations starting out in football

    Went to Buffalo Wild Wings after church last night to watch Cincinnati and Baltimore. Glad Cincinnati pulled it out.

    Looking forward to the next couple of weeks.
    I watched every NFL game I could this year, even switching back and forth to watch some of them. I guess, because there is some kind of a void in my life for several months after the Super Bowl every year. So, I just take advantage of the NFL season by soaking up as much of it as I can while it is here.

    This year has been a special year for me, because all of my favorite teams are in the NFC EASTERN DIVISION. And 3 of them are still in the playoffs after the first round of playoffs, so one of my favorite teams is definitely going to go to the Super Bowl now, well unless San Fransisco wins this Sunday, and they are also a great team this year. Hopefully, my Home Town Team- The Dallas Cowboys will be able to overcome them this Sunday. But that is not to say, I don't have much respect for every team in the league, both NFC or AFC. I have never seen such a league where every team is so talented in their own ways. There are so many good quarterbacks now, It would be difficult for me to even start to create a DREAM TEAM of my very own given so many great choices out there today.

    I love my fandom with the Dallas Cowboys, and they don't really have to win every game to make me happy. I enjoy them when they win, but I also enjoy them whether they lose or win. I mean there is always next week- Next year!

    Sorry, as I cannot even make an educated guess who is going to the Super Bowl, as any team still in the playoffs now, could win it all.

    No Sir, this one will have to play itself out as always.

    May the best team of 2023 win!

    As a Cowboys fan, he definitely has me worried. They've been playing better than they have all year. Scary...

    Games so far have been exciting, LR.

    My brother (who is Hard Right) gave up the NFL during the kneel-taking stuff, but he has come back to enjoy the games.
    I love the New York Giants! I am a huge fan of Daniel Jones. And I am so happy to see him get some well deserved attention and respect now across the league.

    I am also a huge fan of Barkley. Something magical about his skills.

    I am also impressed with how the Offensive and Defensive lines has so much improved as the season went long.

    And how can you go wrong with such an intelligent coach as Brian Daboll? An he is one of the nicest men you would ever want to meet or play for.

    So, the NY Giants can beat anyone now! Good luck in the playoffs! And congratulations to the NY Giants organization for re-building this team and restoring it's winning tradition.

    AFC teams are not any better than NFC teams as a whole. The AFC has the very same problem that the NFC teams have, and that is- they don't know each other's league's teams as well as they do their own teams in their league- because rarely do they ever get to play each other. Both the NFC and AFC build their teams to beat the other teams in their own Conference and league.

    But no league is better than any other! As the NFC has only won one more super bowl than the AFC has won in all the years of the Super bowl- 28 to 27.

    That is pretty even steven- IF YOU ASK ME!

    Well, that is a safe bet, since those are the highest seeds!

    I guess, I am more of a, "I'll take the underdog", kind of rebel sort.

    I loves me a good upset! [Geeko Sportivo]

    The Cowboys and the 49'ers are pretty evenly matched!

    It'll be like watching the Super Bowl before the Super Bowl!

    But someone will have to lose the game. Someone will run out of time.

    I'll just say this up front- the team that wins will be the team that makes the fewest mistakes!
