BTW, anyone who saw that game and still thinks the best of the NFC would be middle-of-the-pack in the AFC is simply blind.

 

San Diego and Baltimore are certainly favorites, but I would put Chicago certainly right there with Indy and New England, and I think for sure that Philly and New Orleans are better than any of the rest of the AFC, and possibly Seattle as well.

Are you kidding me? You are basing this off of one game. Look at the stats on the year.

 

10 of the 16 AFC teams had records of 4-0 or 3-1 against the NFC this year and two others had records of 2-2.

 

Only 1 NFC team (Dallas) had a record over .500 against the AFC this year while 8 had records of 2-2.

 

New Orleans went 1-3. So did Philly and the NY Giants. Chicago and Seattle both went 2-2. That means the six NFC playoff teams went 8-14 against the AFC.

 

The six AFC playoff teams? Try 21-3.

I'm thinking that I won't be able to draft Frank Gore in the 8th round next year.

 

:shock:

 

He went at least in the 5th or 6th in every league I was in.

 

Congrats on getting him so late.

The Bears played even with New England at New England with Rex having an awful game. I don't think it's a stretch to say the Bears are right there with Indy and New England.

 

The Jets and Chiefs are really not that good. New Orleans and Philly have certainly played better than both of them over the course of this year. Seattle and Dallas are right there with them. But who else? Denver? No better than any 8-8/7-8 NFC team. Cincy and Jacksonville? Most inconsistent teams in the league. Tennessee? Not a very good team, just a very fortunate team.

I actually got him in the 8th round of 2 drafts. In one of them, I picked him just after such all-stars as Nate Burleson, Rod Smith, Kurt Warner, Eddie Kennison and Dominic Rhodes.

 

In the 11th round of that draft I took Drew Brees, and in the 14th round I took Maurice Jones-Drew. My starting roster was

 

QB: Eli Manning, Drew Brees

RB: Tomlinson, Willie Parker, Frank Gore, Jones-Drew

WR: Marvin Harrison, Roy Williams, Houshmandzadeh, Eric Moulds, Deion Branch

TE: Heath Miller

K: Vinatieri

D: Pittsburgh, Jacksonville

 

 

Needless to say, that team fared quite well.

New Orleans was drilled at home by Baltimore. The final score was 35-22 but it was 35-7 after 3 quarters. They also lost at Pittsburgh and at home against Cincinnati but both games were close. They also lost at home to Washington.

 

Philly? You mean the one that was blasted by Indy and Tennessee in consecutive weeks. I realize McNabb was hurt in the Tennessee game and didn't play against Indy but I believe the defense is the same one that allowed Addai to run for 171 yards and 4 TD's. The last five weeks they beat up on NFC teams.

 

Dallas...are you kidding me? They lost to the Lions today. Let that sink in. The Lions. Their defense is horrible and Tony Romo isn't looking anywhere near the player he was a few weeks ago.

 

Seattle...the team that lost to the 49ers twice and Cardinals once this year? I'll give them a little more respect because they have the ability, with Hasselbeck and Alexander, to be a good team but they haven't proved to me that they can be. The problem with Seattle is their -9 turnover margin.

 

You left them out but, the New York Giants? Um, no.

 

Chicago? They are the most complete team in the NFC but that isn't saying anything. They had to go to overtime to beat Tampa Bay, had to come back to beat Detroit last week and are looking flat out horrible today against Green Bay. And I have no faith in Rex Grossman. They're good enough to beat most of the AFC teams but after the Bears, the NFC is very weak.

 

On neutral sites, San Diego, Baltimore, and New England would all be favored over any of the NFC teams. Indy would be favored over most of them. The Jets played the NFC's top team tough (scoreless at half, lost 10-0).

 

The AFC went 40-24 (.625) this year against the NFC and that discrepancy - which I presented to year earlier (21-3) - gets even worse at the top when you consider the playoff teams. The facts back this up. The AFC is clearly a superior conference this year.

The last five weeks they beat up on NFC teams.

 

Indy allowed Ron Dayne to run for 150 yards and 2 TDs. By the way, the Eagles also lost to Jacksonville.

 

Dallas...are you kidding me? They lost to the Lions today. Let that sink in. The Lions.

 

Dallas beat Indy. So did Houston.

NFC playoff teams have a combined 10-14 record against the AFC teams they played and have outscored said opponents by a total of 4 points.

AFC playoff teams have a combined 21-3 record against the NFC teams they played and have outscored said opponents by a total of 314 points.

Also, NFC playoff teams have a combined 59-37 overall record while AFC playoff teams have a combined 69-27 overall record.

I don't see how it's even a debate that the AFC is significantly better than the NFC.

There's no way an NBA team from the JV East beats the Lakers (circa 2004).

You really shouldn't rule out the Cubs that quickly. :D

Same situation for the Titans, if we had played a little better defense against Matt Cassel we're in the playoffs.

[Andy]

Grossman went 2/12, 33 yards, 3 picks.

 

Meaningless game I know, but wow.

[Andy]

I think if you told me that if Carolina had won their final 5 divisional games, swept the best team in the division (Saints) and their biggest rivals (Bucs) and split their four games with the AFC North back in August, I'd have told you that they were sitting pretty for a Super Bowl run.

 

Damned injuries, underachieving, etc.

as a fellow sports fan who has been kicked in the crotch repeatedly, let me offer my condolences... that's painful.

[Derwood]

Wow, the Bengals finished with the same record as the Steelers.

 

....and the Titans

 

 

....and the Packers

 

 

....one game ahead of the 49ers
