The NFC is completely wide open IMO

No way Hawks, Falcons, Dal and Pack will all win out. The only thing open in the NFC is the 5th and 6th spot between TB, G-men and the Skins.

Mainly meant whatever six teams get in will have a shot. There isn't a dominant team without deficiencies. Obviously will come down to who is healthy and playing the best ball

Offense harbors in me, because I read a blog, of which states that Philadelphia's offensive line is bad, to paraphrase; it's bad, because it doesn't have Lane Johnson. Due to his use of PED's, Lane isn't in the games. Furthermore, this is the starting offensive line you've insulted: Peter, Wasniewski, Kelce, Brooks and I don't know the name of their RT. In my opinion, and from when I had watched them, Philadelphia has one of the best offensive lines in the NFL.

Currently, the eminent team, in the NFC, is the Dallas Cowboys. However, Dallas has two problems with that moniker: 1) Dallas must show that they can win a game in any circumstance, possible; which they haven't done, because of 2) The New York Giants. In the playoffs, Dallas might have to play the Giants, again. Those exploitable situations in which Dallas--has proven--can't handle were created by the Giants. Also, the Giants did something that no other team did to Dallas, beside beat them: they made Dallas' offensive line look bad.

There's good news for the Cowboys, however. It's very difficult to beat a team three times, in the same season.

I agree with this. Right now I believe GB is the healthiest (FINALLY) and playing their best ball of the season. However Rodgers is injured and we may have more injuries looming in the Bears game in the sub zero temps.
IDK if Hawks are going to get back with ET out as that might have been too big of a loss. Dal appears to be relatively healthy but their defense is just average and teams have more tape on the rookie now. G-men scare me the most with their defense and Eli's ability to become good in the postseason.

I still think it's the Cowboys but if they look listless offensively again vs the Bucs there might be some alarm bells going off.

Make Dak pass and throw it all day vs their defense. If TB does this then they'll have a shot.

This is close to my list. I go

1. Dallas
2. NYG
3. Atlanta
4. Green Bay
5. Tampa
6. Seattle
7. Detroit
8. Wash

Close between the Giants, Falcons, Packers. The Giants have the best D of the 3, Falcons the best O. Both GB and Atlantas defenses are playing much much better over the last month. I think we will probably see a Packers/Giants game in the wild card round. That'll be a good one for sure

It's looking like if we do win out we get the chance to lose again to Eli and the Giants in our own home fo the third time in 8 years in the playoffs. I'd rather play anyone but them in the postseason. Sheli turns into a God in the postseason. If the skins win tomorrow convincingly will you put them in front of the Lions? I trust Cousins more than Stafford

My problem with Washington is defense. Their D hasn't has the late season improvements we've seen from GB and Atlanta although the Skins,offense is loaded

Giants may go 12-4 and have to travel to Lambeau, Seattle and Dallas in the postseason

Doesn't seem right

Thru week 15 I'd go

1. DAL
2. ATL
3. NYG
4. SEA
5. GB
6. DET
7. TB
8. WAS

While they are the best NFC team imo, I really don't have DAL separated that much. They have beaten some pretty good teams, but a lot more subpar teams...how they will perform in the playoffs is a 50/50 guess to me.

Seattle is tough to figure out. They look unbeatable one week and awful the next. That level of inconsistency makes it tough for me to rank them above 5 although they are more than capable of beating anyone they play. If Atlantas D plays in the net 2 games like they have the last 5 or 6 I'd agree with them at 2. Even in the once game they lost the last 5 the loss was not because of the D. Defense hasn't given up 20 points since start of November

better watch this play out
week to week league, but I'm sure updated power rankings have their place.

maybe Mara can get this rule changed in the next two weeks.
Fuck Mara!!


Maybe he could move them to that shitty AFC where a team like the awful Texans will get a home game

Agree, IMO the ATL D has played well really since the Chargers game...they let off the gas on GB and Tampa so if you didn't see those games it looks like the D struggled but bothg. The KC game of course they had a pick 2, a pick 6, and a fake punt go for 6. If I have a concern about the current DEF, they seem to start slow, and Freeney seems to have slowed down as Vic has made a huge leap forward...would be nice to see more balance there.

SEA...agree 100%. Clearly the DEF has lost something and the OFC is inconsistent...but I still think that DEF pedigree gives them an edge over GB.
