And the NEW #1 Seed in the NFC...

[Followthelegion]

It's not like our schedule has been murderer's row. Our only victories against teams with winning records are the 8-4 Jaguars and 7-5 Texans. Four of our wins are against teams with three or fewer victories, and then the 4-8 Vikings with a UDFA QB making his first career start.

this is true - the counter to this is that the divisional games against 9 wins Rams and 49ers really SHOULD have been 2 wins. I'm ignoring the Bucs game as it was a bit more wacky and a one off with no secondary; but I still can't fathom how they threw away the 49er game when they were healthy...and we all know Sam shit the bed in LA.

One can only hope their passing game doesn't come alive this year. That could up their chances a bit. Having a more consistent offense could offset their D's shortcomings some.

Agree that they likely don't hold up to the top 3 teams in the NFC. But in a single game, their underdog label could provide them the intangible boost they might need to pull off an upset.

Can't see them holding onto the 1 seed though...

Don't know about anyone else, but I would LOVE another shot at Tampa Bay. I think the Hawks would knock their d**** in the dirt this time.

Strange season indeed. Bears, Pats and Colts. Very few, if any saw that coming.

I don't know if Baker is hurt or something, but that team looks straight ordinary right now.

No doubt. It truly is about WHEN you play a team sometimes.
