The last time the Cowboys went 13-3, the Giants won the Super Bowl after qualifying as a wild card.

I feel deja vu with ti all as well.

Such a shame that the Packers and Giants have to face off so early.

That was in 2007 right? The year the Giants beat you guys to make you 18-1 right? Wouldn't be surprised to see it come down to the Pats and Giants again but the Packers have crazy momentum right now.

I know right. It might be a bad time for the Giants too, Packers have all the momentum and look to be the "hot team" at the right time. Should be interesting to  see if the Giants defense can stop the Packers momentum or if the Packers will continue to roll.

Well interestingly enough both times the giants went to the superbowl and beat us they also beat the packers twice. In 2007 the giants ended up beating the 13-3 cowboys in divisional and the packers in nfc title game. In 2011 they destroyed the 15-1 packers in the divisional and then the niners in OT due to special teams screw ups.

Maybe famous last words, but I feel like this is the year the Falcons finally do something in the playoffs. I don't trust Dallas as a #1.

If the Falcons are ever going to do something it'll be this year. They have a great running game and a decent defense for a change. It's not entirely on Ryan's shoulders.

They'll have to find good successor to Shanahan and stay healthy and they can be a force for some years to come.

Ryan also looks great this year, and not in the empty stat-padding kind of way. I think they might finally be ready to take that next step.

Did anyone see the Jets score a TD on their kickoff?

Yep, couple Bills watching the ball in the end zone (mostly Gillislee).
