There’s been constant evolution at the position

Good morning, Wes. I thought it was superfluous to call it “Super” Wild Card Weekend. Now Mike wants to make this weekend “Super-Duper” Wild Card Weekend? Enough is enough?

I have to disagree with Vinny from Arlington regarding the seventh seed producing more division matchups in the playoffs. They are important games in the regular season and seeing them again in the playoffs only intensifies rivalries. I think that is the only good thing about the addition of the No. 7 seed. Two of the three matchups last weekend were one-score games and who is not looking forward to Giants-Eagles?

Anyone who attended Green Bay’s wild-card win over Minnesota in January 2013 knows how much that win meant to Packers fans. Listen, I just want to see the best teams playing in January. To me, it doesn’t matter which division those teams come from. I’m sure we’ll have four teams from the same division make the postseason soon enough. I just want to watch football, with or without pomp and circumstance.

I’m predicting 49ers vs. Bengals for the big game, who is your pick?

San Francisco and Buffalo. I’m still wary of the Bills and Josh Allen’s ability to protect the football, but something tells me this is their year.

A follow-up to Jason from Austin’s question about the Bengals having to play in Buffalo. I understand that the Bills had the better record, although if the Bengals had beat them, they would have been the No. 2 seed. I can live with that decision. But why did they give the Ravens a chance for a coin flip to decide home field if they had beaten the Bengals in the final game of the regular season after the Bengals had a better record and had already clinched the division, guaranteeing a home game?

I didn’t score high enough on the ACT to process the adjusted home-field tiebreakers, let alone opine on the rules. The NFL and NFLPA were forced to make a difficult call after Damar Hamlin’s injury, but I believe they made the best, and most tasteful, decision for all parties. Everything worked out in the end and now Buffalo and Cincinnati can finish their business.

As a person who has had one shoulder surgery on each of my shoulders, I think Jalen Hurts is still injured and will end up getting shoulder surgery in the offseason. An injured shoulder often does not show up using current MRI technology.

And that’s why I’m reluctant to crown Philadelphia as the NFC…
