Most games are toss-ups beforehand and close outcomes afterwards.  By design.
.
OMG, the Jags came from 27 down to win!  
Well....the 9-8 team beat the 10-7 team, but the 9-8 team had a better point diff, so it was basically a toss-up and wound up a 1-point game.
.
WOW, the Dolphins really hung with the much better Bills!  Well....the teams split their regular season games (both close) and it was their 3rd game, so they're familiar with each other.  The better team won a difficult circumstance.
.
The only blowout was SF over SEA, teams in the same division, one finishing 4 games over the other, having swept them in the regular season.  Ho-hum.
.
OMG the Giants upset the Vikes!!  Everyone knew the Vikes' record was hollow.  Both teams had virtually an equal point diff for the season, and the Giants were in the far-tougher division.
.
This is all normalish stuff.  Close games, radical reactions to mostly unremarkable things.  It's the NFL.

yeah, wondering if those 3 missed extra points will come back and haunt them...

Micah Parsons ended that 1st half limping. If he can't go in the 2nd half, then we'll have a game. Parsons was unblockable that first half completely disrupting their run game and giving Brady no time to throw the ball. If he doesn't play this 2nd half, Bucs will have a shot.

I guess the hype men aren't doing their jobs.

I’ve never seen anything like what is happening to this Dallas kicker.  At this point it’s completely mental.  Do you sign someone this week for the divisional round?

I would sign someone ASAP if I was the GM/Owner.

yeah so maybe Todd Bowles just isn't HC material? Is it OK to say that? Idk why everyone feels the need to keep hiring failed retreads or to force "minority" hires. Todd Bowles is a heckuva DC. He's proven that. Many times over. He's NOT a particularly good HC. He's proven that. Many times over.

4 extra point misses make me wonder if maybe the fix was in
They won't let me give blood anymore. The burnt orange color scares the hell out of the doctors.

But he doesn't suck, if you look at overall NFL QBs.  He's just really mediocre.  As is the entire Cowboys team.  The roster is probably better than the coaching, which is below average.

I expect them to lose the first round game to the Bucs and Tom Brady, because that's what Dallas does.
