Anyone else feel like we're on a collision course for a rematch with Seattle?

Nobody thought the Eagles would beat the Patriots IN NEW ENGLAND. Eagles can beat anybody right now if they're "on" (particularly on ST) and if they're not giving the ball to Murray. Redskins have been great at home so if DeSean Jackson doesn't do anything stupid they could easily beat the Hawks and the Cowgirls barely lost to them 13-12 the first time and that was with Cassell still learning that offense. Giants as you said can pull anything out of their ass. The NFC East winner will beat the 5 seed. I stand by that and will continue to do so. 2 teams have made the playoffs with a losing record. They both won their wildcard round playoff game. If the NFC East winner ends up with a losing record which is pretty likely, they'll be the third to win a playoff game.

Id like to have some of what your smoking please, because your fear of Seattle is showing.  The NFC East will be one and done in the playoffs.  Any team can win on any given Sunday but you have to look at the match-up where it matters most and that is at the quarterback.  Not one quarterback in the NFC east is better than Russel Wilson, therefore the outcome will most likely end up with a Seahawks W.  Seattle is picking up steam and it is a tough match-up for us but we broke the ice early this year, in their house. Seattle is not the same team away as they are at home and they will be making a flight to Charlotte.  We can and we will beat Seattle if it comes down to it.  The good news though, IMO, the best football teams are in the NFC.  Seattle, Arizona and our panthers are the most complete teams in the NFL, so if we get past the NFC Championship game against likely Arizona we will be favored to win it all.

When Chip Kelly today is the best coach in an NFL division, that's one crappy division. He may still come around, but he's not a great NFL coach thus far.

"Can" and "will" can be two separate things in sports, particularly single-elimination tournaments like the NFL playoffs.

I am in no way saying we can't lose it is always Any Given Sunday in the NFL especially in the playoffs but if you listen to what the "analysts" are saying around the NFL the Cards get a lot of attention and are even viewed as the better team by some of these analysts.  I know we've had close games all year long but honestly their defense does not look as good as it was last year especially if Teddy was able to shred them like he did.

Not so fast my friend....you are not correct in that assertion.

If Seattle beat the NFC East team and GB (#3 beat #6 Minn), we would get Seattle in the Div Round.

The only way Arizona would get Seattle in the Div round is if both the #5 and #6 seeds won the WC games.

I stand corrected...how embarrassing.

Off topic, but wouldn't GB and the Vikes meeting a 3rd time, in a wildcard game, in GB be pretty damned good football though?

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
