Best team in NFC?

[DirtDirtDirt]

Seattle would be wise to rest Wilson for a week or 2

That guy and that team is not the same if he cant use his legs

 

[PhillyGreen]

I'd have to go with the Cowboys or Seattle.

I don't think it is possible to pick who the best in the NFC is right now. I watched the game last night and while good defensively I don't Seattle is as great as it once was and I am not impressed with their offense.

I wold probably have to choose the Cowboys right now until they get exposed. That seems to the trend for the NFC these days. One team is all of sudden the juggernaught and within the next couple weeks their major flaws are exposed. So the Cowboys are next on that list.

I'll say this, Dallas had the right time to be on a bye. Vikings didn't look good, SEA didn't look good, ATL didn't look good...so Dallas gets pushed to the front because we didn't have a chance to look bad.


Oddly enough, I didn't see any of the usual stupid "1972 Dolphins popping champagne this week"

What a silly statement. Of course it is possible to say who is the best right now. What you can't say is who will be the best at the end of the season, but the great thing about "right now" is that it has happened. One can take an unbaised look at what has happened and decide who they think is the best based on actual events.

If "right now" includes this coming Sunday then obviously the best team in the NFC is the Eagles.

Man everything broke right for Dallas yesterday Vikings go down, Seattle ties, Atlanta goes down.

 

[PnkPanther]

And the best team now is???

The Vikings. We weren't going 19-0. If they lose to Chicago than well, eeek

Vikings/Dallas are my two favorites right now. Vikings had a bad game, it'll happen. If it's a trend than I'll back of the wagon, but their OL being a worry spot isn't new

Why is it silly? Based on performances it seems the list changes each week. It is like this thread curses teams like the Madden cover curses players. Once we think a team is the best something knocks them off. I think the top 3 will probably remain the same until the playoffs begin.

In no particular order

Cowboys
Vikes
Seahawks

I am not ready to put the Eagles up there. They may be in the conversation if the can hold the Cowboys offense at bay and pull out a win.

The Falcons? I could see them being on the list. The loss to the Chargers was brutal though but I could see the argument they belong.

The Cardinals? They could be on this list but special teams is killing them. If they get cut their kicker and get someone servicable they could be on this list.

The Packers? You could argue they belong but their defense is just bad and I would like to give it one more game to see if Rodgers is truly back.

The Redskins? Don't make me laugh.

False, they lost to the lions

 

[Fountain City Blues]

1. Vikings
2. Seahawks
3. Falcons
4. Cowboys
5. Cardinals
6. Packers
7. Lions
8. Skins

Still think this will mostly add up. May flip the Cowboys and Falcons however.

GB's defense isn't bad. I wouldn't call rodgers back, he needed 50 throws for 300 yards. Teams with decent defenses wont give that up.

 

[eaglesnut]

And the Cowboys will have lost to a team that lost to the Lions.

And?

 

[Great Dayne]

Way to be bold...

Looks like the lions are now the best

Their pass defense is horrible. I am not saying that from the stats. I actually watched them play. Maybe horrible may be too strong a word to rate the overall defense but that pass defense is just bad IMO.

 

[PhillyGreen]

No....The Lions are not the best team. They beat an average at best Redskins team. Should have lost to the Eagles. Yes I know....shoulda, woulda, coulda....The Lions did lose to the Titans and Bears as well. Luck is on their side but I would not pick them over any team in the NFC with a winning record. Even the teams they have beaten once already.

I would say Randal is terrible. With him and shields out the gb secondary vastly improves. Gunter has replaced him and shut down obj, and Jeffery

don't flip flop now...Redskins!
and Rodgers is dead....

top two statements last week....that's a special kinda special

flips coin
decides it's best outta three...then best outta five

Fly Eagles Fly!

Rodgers played the bears and skins won 3 in a row after a slow start. The best team in the nil can change on a weekly basis.
