NFC is down. Good for us

[NorthwestDallas40]

Green Bay, Minnesota, and Philly lose today. Seattle, Arizona, and Carolina all having down years. Yes, the Giants are lurking and Atlanta is got a formidable offense, but does anyone scare you? Nice to have some cushion right now too.

I don't like to look too far in the future but this season is definitely an opportunity.

The only team that gives me anxiety is Atlanta.

It's bittersweet. More sweet than bitter. We have a rare opportunity to do some real damage and possibly goto the Super Bowl. Wish we had addressed the DE situation, it would have guaranteed a Super Bowl berth.

Don't consider this a negative post....I'm really happy with our record!

I could see why, they look good but I think our offense cab pretty much do what they want against them and keep their offense off the field.

Keep Atlanta offense off the field, no problem. If it's a shoot out I'll need some Valium

Pretty much the entire league is down.

In their effort to create parity, the NFL has created a sea of mediocrity.

The Lions and Saints are 4-1 in their last 5. the Saints in particular have an offense that would give us fits.

Dallas is performing far beyond mediocre. I think the difference is depth. They've lost starters all over the field and have improved.

Romo
Collins
Bryant
Smith
Scandrick
Church
Claiborne
Lawrence

Having guys ready to step is really the difference between this year and last.

Seattle gives me a little anxiety, their defense is good, and this is a group that has been to two super bowls.

The usual suspects will find their way into the playoffs.

It could look like this

Divisional winners: Atlanta, Detroit, Seattle, Dallas
Wild Card: Green Bay, New York

If that's what the NFC playoffs will look like, it's going to be tough.

That would be a very fun matchup, because they have the depth and talent to matchup with our receivers/TE in man coverage.

I think Atlanta and the Giants are our biggest threats. Atlanta obviously has a high powered offense. As for the Giants, they almost always play the Cowboys tough, that's just the reality of divisional opponents. I don't think they're a better team than the Cowboys, but as everyone knows, NFCE games can be unpredictable and crazy. Again I think the Cowboys are the better team, divisional rivals are just always a threat in my opinion.

I overlooked the Saints, I didn't realize they were playing that well.

 

[punchnjudy]

I don't see it happening, but if the 3-5 Panthers did go on a tear and make the playoffs, they could be a problem. They've been a very streaky team in recent years, both hot and cold. That's why I don't want the Falcons to fall off *too* much during the second half of the season. I don't think Carolina could get in unless the NFC South returned to its 2014 form.

I liked the inclusion of the delayed blitz from the LBer's today...we will need to do more of it...Wilson showed some explosiveness and athleticism on the sack. I hope Rod gets more and more aggressive as the whole unit continues to improve. I am with you though...I cringe every time I see the opposing QB doing 7-on-7 drills back there on some pass plays. But I think we will be able to bring the heat, particularly if Mo and Barry get back sooner than later.

If we get gregory and claiborne back.. maybe even Jaylon back, we could do some damage.

I'm thinking the Saints slip into GB's spot right now. I totally overestimated GB. Of course I'm not counting them out either.
