JOKER2 Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 (edited) I agree. Packers, Falcons, Saints as the top 3. That is any logical persons top of the conference until we start playing again and see who remains consistent. I still think we will be the #1 seed again, but this time I believe we'll handle our buisness as we should have last year. What a blown opportunity that still stings.

KANE337 Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 We probably should be ranked below the Eagles since the Falcons are only 1-8 vs Andy Reid. So far Mike Smith 0-3 vs the Eagles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then we should be above the Packers since Mike Smith is 2-1 against them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tandy Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 I'd put the Eagles over the Aints, just because they were stuck with Kolb for like 5 games last year. The Eagles are one of two NFC teams that really scare me. The other being the Packers.Kolb had 4 starts - and won 2 of them. One of those he only played 1/2 a game in - Vick played the final half. However, the fact that he played or started in 3 games after the 1st game of the year is because of the way Vick plays. Vick has only started all 16 games 1 time in his career and he has never completed 16 games as the QB. He holds the ball too long and by turning himself into a running back during the play - sets himself up for too many hits during the season - and he is prone to missing time because of that.I wouldn't put the Eagles over the Saints for that reason alone. The odds of Vick playing an entire season and still being in good shape for post-season are just not great. Will he be able to pull off what he has been unable to do so far in his career? I don't know - but based on his playing style - there is a great possibility that this next season will be no different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tandy Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 You make a really good point, but a healthy Eagles vs a healthy Saints team I think would end in a Philly victory.Very, very possible. Both teams are talented and it could go either way on any given Sunday - but the fact is - with the talent on the Eagles team - they are definitely one of the most dangerous in the NFL.

*TMo* Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 we knocked ourselves outI totally disagree with that statement. I don't understand why no one is giving Green Bay their due. They played an amazing game. I don't think anyone could have beaten them that night. They were amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quarterback Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 My Order as of TODAY (could change after FA):Packers (Obvious)Saints (I give them the slight edge over the Falcons due to their coaching, especially their DC and OC)Falcons (They've done nothing to address their 48-21 demolition at the hands of the Packers)Eagles (Despite Vick's obvious physical talents, I will have to see it to believe it that he has the other skills necessary to master a great defense in the playoffs as we saw in Rodgers last season and Brees the year before.Bears (They got the man that we should have--Peppers!)Cowboys (too much talent not to be and they could pass the Bears and Eagles before season's end)Giants (QB)Rams (QB)Bucs (QB)49ers (New Coach and QB will be solid) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M0D3RNW4RR10R Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 If you wanna use that logic, we should be above the falcons Sean Payton is 8-2 vs theman in 7 months you've managed to compile 470 post on a Falcon's board when you're not a Saints fan. I'd hardly have time posting that much in a Falcon's board in that time span. Not including the fact a majority of those post were during the lockout. Do something with your life. On another note the Atlanta Falcons are up 46-36 all time against the Saints, and 1-0 in the post season. Then again those numbers are as usless as trolling a rival's site in the offseason.

I'm here to talk football with people with different opinions instead of a place where all minds think alike.I do most of my posting @ work so worry about your own life looser.
