All six can make it. AFC you have to imagine Patriots and Steeles are heavy favorites with the Chiefs as a dark horse. I understand what you're saying, but just to nitpick, that's the definition of parity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falcons could compete with anyone when their hot. Foles isn't going to get the Eagles past any of the other top teams in the NFC. He barely got them past the Raiders and Giants. You could say that about a number of QB in the playoffs? Cam vs TB, Keenum vs GB, Wilson vs Dal, Ryan vs TB? There's not a single QB in the NFC including Drew Brees that is making the SB without relying heavily on the Run Game and a Solid Defense! Not one! Eagles "can" do both so it is "possible"! Only question is will our Idiotic HC do the smart thing, or continue to pass 40+ times as if Nick Foles is Carson Friggen Wentz? Unfortunately, I Doubt he changes!

Thomas5737 Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Bills over Saints. Okay seems unlikely but that is the teams I'd most like to see. As long as its not an AFCN or AFCE team representing the AFC I'll be happy, unfortunately those are the favorites. I'd like to see the Saints or Falcons in the NFC. It will probably be the Patriots vs. Saints/Vikings/Panthers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, I Doubt he changes! Eagles defense has dropped since the Wentz injury. Their 2 game average yards given up (with Foles at qb) is 393, so that kind of number would be close to the bottom of the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So looking at full year stats is not really a predictor anymore for what your output could be in playoffs now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wentz went down in week 14. My point of that earlier post being, Eagles defense plays much better at home, regardless of the QB. And the numbers from last year do matter, as that same QB was not as efficient last season. Thus asking the defense to do more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAF-N72EX Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 I'm not gonna though the entire playoffs but I've been saying Saints vs Steelers all year and nothing has changed that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
