the EAGLES are the team to beat in the NFC?

[dennis]

with the vikes and saints showing their flaws in the last month,the eagles have gone 6-0. there are 6 legitimate contenders in the NFC.they all have a great quarterback but the only team with a great coach is philadelphia, they are the team to beat.

Right now, I think you may be right. Id worry a bit about the Saints still, and the Vikings, tho Favre is scary at times, especially in big games at this age. I hate to pick anyone out of NFC right now. Maybe Arizona can sneak in again under the radar?

As much as I hate to say it (life long Skins fan) I think Dallas is the team to beat. They are playing great on both sides of the football. Romo and Austin are really clicking and their defense is great.

I think the winner of the game between the Eagles and Cowboys will be carrying huge momentum into the playoffs and I wouldn't want to face that team in the first round.

I also think the NFC East is the toughest division even with the Giants tanking and the Skins having a tough year. I feel the Eagles or Cowboys are best prepared to have a great playoff run. I still do like the Saints, but the Vikings seem to have lost a lot of steam, and their defense is on the weaker side.

It is amazing how different this last month of the season looks from the first half...
Top teams now include:
Cowboys
Eagles
Cardinals

Chargers
Patriots
Colts

Good or bad, I always root for the Packers. It's just this time they're pretty good too. I won't claim they are the best (because they probably aren't), but they are 6-1 the last seven games and, despite ESPN's junior high infatuation with Brett Favre, Aaron Rodgers has been the better quarterback since he became Green Bay's starter.

As far as ESPN goes, I think the phrase is, Get A Room.

..........on second thought.

dallas and green bay look good now.

The Eagles are the team to beat, and today they were easy to beat. They didn't even make a showing.

Wow are the playoffs going to be good !! The team that looks the best right now is Packers, my most hated team but gotta give them credit. Saints and Indy lost the momentum, better wake up or get out the golf clubs.

They sure knew how to close out the stadium.....
