Is anybody going to step up and be the team to beat

[Moab]

I haven't seen a team that is standing tall and taking care of their business in Dec so far. Chiefs lose at home to the Chargers, Pats got beat by a Steelers team that looked like they were reeling, Dallas got raw dogged by the Colts...

Will the Rams or Saints make a statement in prime time???

 

[Fountain City Blues]

Chiefs, Chargers, Rams, Saints all seem stuck right now.

Whoever wins the AFCW has to be the odds on favorite out of the AFC, but the NFC seems very muddled to me.

 

[Moab]

I'm interested to see if the Rams bounce back and if the Saints get it rolling...

Panthers suck.

 

[Mangler]

Da Bears!!

I feel like this is the first year in a while where every single one of the 12 playoff teams could make the Super Bowl and people wouldn’t be completely surprised.

If the Colts can make the playoffs I don’t know that I would be jumping up and down to play them at the moment.

If possible, Colts-Chargers and Bears-Rams would be a cool change-of-pace.

the colts are dangerous . if frank would've played the tie vs Texans and kick the field goals vs jags the colts would be tied for the no 2 seed in he div and own the tie breakers with Texans . hey after watching chucky coach frank has done a great job but he has a learning curve .

i'm glad for the chargers having a great season .

 

[boogiewithstu2007]

Rams, Saints, Chicago, KC, Pats, SD, are all the teams to beat... I just hope like hell when the playoffs start the refs allow teams to play...

 

[Dr. Strangelove]

Don't be too surprised if the Panthers give the Saints all they can handle and maybe pull off an upset in one of these games. The Panthers may be playing like crap but divisional games are always tough. I wouldn't be surprised to see the Chargers struggle week 17 in Denver either.

 

[SteelersPride]

i think your gonna start seeing the rams d step up and play alot better, liek we expected pre season with all that talent

 

[CaptainStubing]

As long as it's not the Patriots, I'm fine with whoever wants to step up. Need some new teams winning

 

[SteelersPride]

Fear the eagles!

Rams seem to have peaked too early. Game film from earlier in the season is benefitting teams playing them now as I think the Eagles, for one, would not have beaten them earlier in the season. The Bears may not have either. The Seahawks played them in two very close games when, by all rights, the Rams should have crushed them. Seahawks, Green bay and Minnesota, although losing to them, kept the game close and maybe helped form a blueprint against them that the Bears and Eagles benefitted from.

'SD'? Come on, Stu. That's no way to boogie.

Panthers suck.

As do the Falcons.

It's going to get worse when the Saints win the SB. Fucking Saints.

 

[Clayton]

Bears defense and the Chiefs offense are the two scariest things in the NFL. One of those two teams might patch up their weaknesses and be the team to beat.

Saints seem like they're built for playoffs but I think they already peaked in term of efficiency.

Rams and Chargers are the most talented teams. I think if they get the right leadership then they'll fill the void left by the Bears and/or Chiefs if they falter.

I think you'll see a playoffs where 11 teams can win the Super Bowl. Not convinced the 6 seed in the NFC matters.
