Catt, I think the Saints are gonna take it this year. My prediction. Despite having Mahomes, the Chiefs defense is not strong , and defense is what it takes

They should've last year ?

 

 

It would be an interesting Super Bowl between Brees and Rivers.

 

Seriously, who's gonna want to play the Chargers in the playoffs? They're playing very good football now.

And they're getting healthy at the right time. They're probably the most balanced team out there right now. 

Agree @Bluebasser86!

 

Absolutely, 100%.

WHO DAT!

Say what you will about the Seahawks, but they're playoff bound for the seventh time in nine seasons under coach Pete Carroll and GM John Schneider!  This, after everyone wrote them off at the beginning this year as a "rebuilding year". NOT!!

 

I don't care whose in. 

Nobody wants to play these guys...Anywhere!!

I'd put the Bears team that was on the field yesterday up against anyone.

 

Yesterdays game showed a work in progress and that the Bears can play both sides of the ball well. They are not the same Bears they were 15 weeks ago. Tribusky still needs some honing but he's on his way to being able to lead/manage his offense with conviction. If he can perfect that, it will make up for his lack of strength. He's no Cutler or Favre when it comes to throwing bullets. Barring any injuries, the Bears will be in good standings, in the division, for years to come. The rest of the NFC North is aging and it shows. Based on his performance, it's a good thing Rodgers signed a contract this year. Can't blame everything on McCarthy. Stafford is done. The Vikings are good but they're not great.

I never knew he started. His salary says otherwise but Stafford sucks and always has.

I keep hearing about how it is impossible to beat the Saints at home due to the noise that the opposing offenses have to play through.  I would disagree, it may be tougher but not even close to being impossible.  Heck, the Saints were fortunate last night, the Steelers self destructed with bad coaching calls and turnovers late in the game & it had nothing to do with the crowd noise.

 

Don't get me wrong, the Saints are good and it would not be a surprise for them to make it to & win the Super Bowl.  However, this year every team in the NFC playoffs is capable of beating any other team.  None of these teams are dominating on both offense & defense, yet all are very strong on one side of the ball and not devastatingly weak on the other side.  There really are no patsies.

 

As a Rams fan, I am glad that they have been generally dismissed following their losses to Chicago & Philly.  It will let them fly under the radar for the next couple of weeks.  Their offense has been mistakenly compared to KC or the Saints, when it is actually a different animal, much more dependent on the run.  Gurley had been hurt since the KC game and picking up CJ Anderson was a great move to allow Gurley to heal while still keeping the run first offense effective.

let's just hope the Bears win next Sunday so the Eagles can get into the playoffs with a win against the Skins....

Eagles are getting hot at the right time as well as healthy.....once you get in, anything can happen

Foles has been impressive. That throw he made yesterday when Clowney hit him in the chest was unbelievable
