    Purdy is gonna get exposed if he plays the Dallas defense, imo. The end stat line looks great and to some extent, that's all that matters. But he made some really bad decisions and made some pretty awful throws vs Seattle. Throws that typically get intercepted at this level. He was fortunate none of them resulted in turnovers.

    Every QB throws 'almost picks'.

    It was his first playoff game and the ball was slick early on and he still threw for 3TD's (should have been 4) and 300+ yards.

    I think Dallas still has the better team, but they gotta get there first and Brady is the goat for a reason.

    If Dallas wins tonight, I would expect them to win best week as long as they don't turn the ball over. Play clean football and force Purdy to throw it with pressure in his face.

    I would bet on Niners getting a defensive touchdown vs. Dak.

    Eagles were probably gonna get a divisional game either way. THey'd much rather face the Giants than the Cowboys.

    Looks like the Cowboys will be in the market for a new kicker this week. Dude has the yips.

    Also, this is the worst I've ever seen Brady look. Granted, he's getting virtually no time in the pocket, has no running game, and his WRs are dropping balls left and right. But still, he looks bad this game.

    And somehow, I still feel like this 24 point lead is just slim enough for the Cowboys to choke away.

    If the Cowboys defense gets anything close to this sort of pressure next week, they will eat Brock Purdy alive.

    Cowboys probably need to score here. Don't want to risk the game coming down to a FG.

    Guess you haven't watched Purdy play at all since breaking the pocket and buying more time is becoming one of his specialties.

    Niners winning will be on their defense getting lots of 3 and outs and tiring out Dallas' defense. You don't want to face a rested Micah Parsons.

    Alright my thoughts on the game.

    Jags vs. Chiefs - Should be a total murdering. If Jacksonville ****s up like they did vs. the Chargers, Andy Reid will bury him. He's not an idiot like Staley who's clock management sucked.

    Eagles vs. Giants - Jalen is dressing, if he's any shade of his former self this should be a winning. But this could be the upset of the week if Jones balls out. Eagles should win though.

    Bills vs. Bengals - Game of the Week IMO. Should be a quality game. I am going bills. But Burrow is a baller and could go off.

    Niners vs. Cowboys - I can see this going either way. I expect the Niners to comfortably win. This game will come down to how well purdy can extend drives. If Micah Parsons has time to do his things I think Purdy will be in for a rough day.

    I'd take all the home teams, but there's usually one upset before the championship games. Hard to know which one though.

    After two mediocre years who would have thought Hurts would have developed into this?
