Re: NFC Playoff Teams
And last season, against the "weaker" NFC South teams, the Seahawks went 1-3. Last edited by TMacFrog; 08-30-2008 at 05:50 PM. |

Re: NFC Playoff Teams
I wouldn't call 2002 "recent" but if that's what you're calling recent, then why doesn't Seattle's NFC best record since 2002 matter? You're being rather selective of what facts you want to acknowledge and disregard. Seattle was 1-3 against the NFC South, true, but the NFC South's division winner, Tampa Bay, was also 1-3 against the NFC West. On paper, the top two teams from the NFC West (Seattle, Arizona) look better than the top two teams from the NFC South (New Orleans, Tampa Bay) this year (and that's not according to me, but most every football power ranking I've seen has Seattle and Arizona collectively ranked above New Orleans and Tampa Bay). The Panthers could be good this year, probably better than the 3rd place NFC West team, but the Rams/49ers both look much better than the Falcons, on paper. And if you want to talk about talent, can you remind me just how many NFC South players were pro-bowlers last year? You say "They're an solid team, i wouldn't even say good, but above average" in regards to Seattle, yet you say that the NFC South has 3 "good" teams in New Orleans, Tampa Bay, and Carolina...are you serious? If Seattle's NFC-best 58-38 record since 2002 is "above average", then what does that say about the rest of the teams in the NFC? Like I said, I can handle you saying you think the Seahawks on the decline; hell, I might even be inclined to agree with you. But give respect where it is due. Your argument is full of holes, and when you say things like "Seattle is not a great team by any means", it makes me wonder if you're just being dismissive or if you have an axe to grind. But whatever, it will all be settled soon. If you're not going to acknowledge my points, I'll just shut up and let you learn for yourself. Last edited by Mauler34; 08-30-2008 at 08:18 PM. |

Re: NFC Playoff Teams
I could care less about the Bucs record against the NFC West last year. The argument isn't about who's better, Seattle or Tampa. I'm just saying Tampa, New Orleans and Carolina are better than anything that the NFC West has to offer. Tampa has a great defense, a good leader at QB (just like seattle), but they actually have a running game. New Orleans has one of the best offenses in the NFL, and they're pretty lacking on defense but that's why they're gonna finish 3rd in the division. Carolina has a strong passing game with Delhomme healthy and the runningbacks seem to finally be getting it going in the preseason. and they're defense is pretty strong mostly due to teh play of Julius Peppers who will return to probowl form this season. Top to bottom, the NFC South is actually ranked higher on the power rankings than the NFC West, even with the Falcons being the worst team on the list. I personally don't think the power rankings are very good, but I'm just using it because that was your argument. Power rankings aren't very good because before the season starts, its all pretty much an educated guess. u could make an argument for most of those teams to be higher on the power rankings. |

Re: NFC Playoff Teams
I'm sensing that you must be a Panthers fan, so I'm also sensing that you might have a bit of an axe to grind with Seattle over that last playoff game. What can I say? I don't have anything against the Panthers, and I'm not here to get personal with this argument. That said, we'll see how the season goes - that's what this whole thread is about, predictions, not prophecies. I just thought you were being very dismissive of one of the premier teams in the NFC, so I called you out on it, and no offense, but all you've really done so far is display your ignorance. The NFC South and NFC West are both rather weak divisions, and which one is weaker really depends on who you ask. But the point is that you can't dismiss a team just because the rest of the teams in their division aren't very good (even though the Cardinals almost made the playoffs last year, and are a popular pick to do so this year). So I'm done with this "debate" for now. We'll see how the season plays out. |

Re: NFC Playoff Teams
And I was using the power rankings from ESPN or NFL.com. can't remember which, but they were obviously different. |
