Best team in the NFC?

The Dude · 12-16-2013, 02:21 PM

I think it's Seattle all by thselves. There is a huge drop off after that which includes us, the Panthers, and 49ers in no particular order. I feel the last 3 are equal and would win against the others at their own stadium.

If we are judging best team by wins on a neutral field we might not even be top 5. We are 3-4 on the road and 5-4 in the last 9 games. Home field helps us along with Seattle tremendously, which is why we need to beat Carolina this week or we will be 1 and done in the playoffs.

We may be one and done anyway...but, slapping that smile off propeller-head's face would do me a world of good.

Seattle is on a completely different plain. The NFC is there's to lose. With a week off and home field throughout the playoffs (which it will have), some team will have to play a game of a lifetime to beat them coupled with some luck (an injury possibility, an injury to a key player). Unlike some teams, they were able to win the games they were supposed to win, including road games. It could be different on a neutral site, but still difficult.

We are the best. Two games come down to turnovers. We have everybody right where we want them!

When we played Seattle, they played balls to the walls for four quarters. We played like limp weenies for four quarters. Yesterday, except for a couple of drives, we played like limp weenies for four quarters. The best team in the NFC doesn't play like limp weenies two out of the last three weeks. I think Seattle is the best team in the NFC right now. Can we beat them? Of coarse. However, can they beat us. Damn right they can. We just need to show up and play these games and win. We need to play hard and EARN the "best team in the NFC."

We can be like some of the teams that surprise people and put together a win streak at the end. It will take a lot of energy and some luck. I chose Seattle just because they are so solid in all phases.
