Crazy week 16!

Ok, so the NFC players are in place even if the seeds aren’t quite set. The saints are looking like the 07 Cowboys just a little bit. They hit their peak against New England on national TV, just as the Cowboys did against Green bay in 07. And just like that Dallas team they have yet to look like that team again. Minnesota and their QB Terrell Owens, oops I mean Brett Favre are having issues coddling the 40 year old player with the biggest ego in all of sports. Green Bay looks like a top team offensively but that D let Big Ben throw for half a thousand 2 weeks ago without an int. Not good. Philly and Dallas are similar in that they can look unbeatable one week and look VERY beatable the following week. As much as I am an NFC guy, it is hard for me to imagine this years champs coming out of this conference.

WHO DAT? Ok, enough of that. But I am still jacked over the big win in the Big Easy. This is the type of win that can put a mentally shaky team like Dallas over the top. We will see. Just part of the rollercoaster ride that is Dallas fandom..

How about the Mulligan Stew that is the AFC playoff race?!?! With 2 weeks to go, not 7, 8 or 9 teams in the hunt but how about 12!!! That is right there are 12 teams that are VERY much in the hunt with 2 to go.

1 Indy has the 1 seed locked up at 14-0 (home NYJ and at Bills)
2 S.D Is pretty much solid at the #2 11-3 (at Tenn and skins at home)

3 New England sits at the 3 at 9-5 and can win the AFC East next week at home against the Jags (Jags at home and at Houston)

4 The Bengals sit currently but not comfortably at the 4 seed at 9-5 but the Ravens are right on their heels at 8-6 (KC at home and at Jets)

1st Wild Card spot Ravens at 8-6 (at Pitt at Oak)
2nd Wild Card spot Denver 8-6 (at Philly and home KC)

Week 14 thoughts...

The AFC Playoff Race.

With every team aside from the colts seemingly at 7-6, should make for a great stretch run! With Cincy losing you have to feel pretty solid with the 10-3 Chargers in the 2 seed. The Bengals with a 2 game lead and 3 to play are probably pretty safe as the 3 seed and the AFC North winner. The AFC East now, that is gonna be fun. The Fins and Jets at 7-6 are not only in the wild card hunt but they are very much still in the Division hunt only 1 game behind the Pats who are a shell of teams past. Here is what remains for these teams

Pats @ Buffalo, sounds easy , but it took a flurry of a finish to comeback and beat Buffalo early in the year in New England, Jacksonville at home, a team with plenty to play for and clinging to the last wild card spot and finally @ Houston a team that will play well because they always do once they are mathematically eliminated from playoff contention.
