THe best in the nfc

[JoRo]

Since most the people here will say broncos to afc, and its cool bout that, but i wanted an actual sorta deep convo about this: Who do you think will honestly make the superbowl for nfc? i dont think eagles, cuz i mean, they have one of the toughest schedules, and well, kearse could prolly have injury problems, and i dont see how owens could honestly help them team wise, i mean, as a pure athlete sure, but the team stuff comes into consideration too, an at that hell hurt more than help i think.....but wut you all think?

Eagles will be contenders. Giants are in transition. Cowboys will be tough, but who's gonna play RB for them? And the Redskins should be right behind the Eagles, but they have had the talent to be better for 3 or 4 seaosn now, although I like Gibbs, they haven't proven that they play as well as they should on paper.

I keep getting this nagging suspicion that the Seahawks will leapfrog the Rams in the west. I dunno. Call it a hunch. And Arizona wil be better than people think. They could even surpass the Rams.

I see no reason why the Panthers can't come out of the South again. NO missed their window, I think. Tampa is in transition, and Atlanta still needs to show me that they have some sort of threat OTHER than Vick, although, they should be much more competative than they were last year.

The North is still Green Bay's to lose, unless Minnesota has some sort of defense trick up their sleeve. Chicago still bad. Detroit's getting there, but after a draft in which they really put a good offensive core to gether, they still need some help on D.

I really think you'll see Philly, Seattle, Washington, maybe Dallas, Green Bay and Carolina all right there. Atlanta will push, and Minnesota has tealnet enough to be a playoff team. Not much of a change from last year really.

The Vikings!

[daredevil25]

Right now the Vikings and Eagles are the heavy favorites to win the NFC, the two also play each other this season. I still like the Seahawks to take the NFC Title, but those two are the cream of the crop.....so far. Other contenders-

Packers- Still a good team, and the transition from depending solely on Favre to the awesome running attack led by Ahman Green will keep them as one of the better teams in the NFC.

Cowboys- I don't see their defense being one of the league's best this year, but around the top 10 and their offense will be slightly better. Contender for the East crown as well.

Redskins- If ever an NFL team was built on star power alone, this is it. I still believe people are a little too high on Gibbs, but if anyone can get this ailing franchise back to the playoffs, its him.

Panthers- Improved front 7, and locked up Smith and Delhomme and didn't lose Muhsin Muhammed to June cuts like many believed was certain.

Saints- If they ever realize there talent and play smart this is easily a playoff bound team. Injuries and terrible misfortune killed them in 02 and 03.

People should keep an eye on the Lions, Bucs, and Rams though.

It is wierd, because all of those teams except for Philly and Green Bay, wouldnt have even been considered a .500 team 5 years ago...

[ChampBaily559]

why hasnt anyone mentioned..

the SanFransisco 49ers?????

i mean come on with um..... that one guy at qb, that one HB, you know.... hmmm. well with such a star studded cast of people how do you lose?!?! and i dont even want to start about their D.


of course if for some reason the niners dont make the superbowl i think that the Panthers will. i mean they are the team until somone does somthing about it, right?

[ReleaseTheBeast7]

Cowboys, especially if they get Eddie George now...

Not to be nit picky but 5 years ago Philly was one of the worst teams in the league.

They still don't have a QB who can throw more TD's than INTs. Cowboys will be good this year but the year after next is when I'll really start worrying.

The Eagles have to be the favorite on paper. I'm looking for an Eagles vs Seahawks NFCCG and an Eagles vs. Broncos SB.

Talent + Gibbs = NFC Champs

Redskins have nothing in their way outside of their division. The Cowboys will be their only competition.

Gibbs inherited alot of talent and he made it better in the off season. Portis has a line to run behind and I'm looking at Denver vs. Washington in the dance.

Denver has to get past a definitely improved Patriot team...that could be Denvers achillies.

I think this will be a great year for watching football. NFL style!!!

[broncsx3]

The Falcons.

In the crappy NFC a weaker team can definitly go all the way and the Falcons have everything you look for:

1. Best player in the league in Mike Vike (stay healthy man!) Falcons won 3 of 4 with him last year. This team was a hell of a lot better then their record showed last season, especially the defense which looked paper thin. They are extremely talented at the skill positions too.

2. New coach that knows how to motivate people. Not to mention the best offensive line coach in the NFL. These guys are good for 2-3 more victories alone!

3. Lots of hungry youth that is ready to excel, including a very strong draft and a nice offseason of some low noise, high impact free agents.

4. The NFL lately is about the last-to-first stories and Falcons are as good a pick as any to do exactly that.

5. No team with Terrell Owens can win it! Just can't happen!!!

I think the team that one the last three NFC East titles will still be in the Redskins way(Eagles). For the last two years Snyder has gone out and spent exhorbitant amounts of money to try and buy a playoff worthy team. Every preseason all the "experts" pick the Redskins to be one of the best in the NFC and both years they've ended up at the bottom of the standings. New system, new players, and new coaches for the third year in a row. If Snyder give up his control to Gibbs they could be a great team in A COUPLE OF YEARS.

The NFC East has three teams in a transistionary state, it will be a good division this year and possibly a great division the year after.

[Helderht_]

The eagles have a very nice team, the seahawks and the vikings too, but I think that the NFC title will stay in Philadelphia, the eagles have been working hard for this and now I know that they deserve this and has potential to get it...

Philly is the cream of the crop. Great coach grreat players they were a without credibile receivers last year. Have lost a couple of folks but picked Kearse and owens. Should make the SB this year.

Dallas could do it all if they can come up with a QB. Won;t win it with Qunicy unless Parcells is able to put up alot mirrors and play with smoke on the field. There D will be one of the best.

NYG could be a sleeper, Redskins will win some games but Gibbs in not going to take them to the SB. Way to many changes to assimulate. Way to tough a division for them to win it all.

SEA seems to be the best of the rest. Greenbay with the right luck could do it also. MIN has a RB that had been injured and will be back, with Moss and Bennett, they could easliy outscore anyone.

Improved will be PHX but a couple of year away.
