PantherDave Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 The Super Bowl has been butchered, hung out to dry etc., however, the bottom line is this, the balance of power has shifted-the NFC is the more powerful conference as of now and will bring home the hardware this season. I know the AFC Homers will come out swinging, but if memory serves the AFC only won the inter conference contest by a mere 3 games last year. It has always swayed back and forth between the two conf, and this year I believe the NFC to have the upper hand. The division battles stacking up in the NFC are just fantastic, the NFC divisions playing one another is fantastic and will be the focus of the NFL season, in closing, the NFC has caught up to and will pass the AFC this year-count on it.

Inter-conf games mean squat, and even if they did you yourself admit the AFC still had the edge. The NFC showdowns you refer to are speculation, as of now all those teams are nothign more than paper tigers at best. The best teams in the NFL are still AFC teams (Steelers, Colts), and the worst teams are still NFC teams (Lions, Niners). Until Vick EVER amounts to anything more than a crappy shoes from spammers commercial and TO shuts his pie hole and turns Bledsoe into a dominating QB, then money is still on AFC to win it all.

Sorry, just don't see it, the AFC had a three game advantage because of the Lions and 49er's and some under achievers Cards, Packers and Falcons plus the injury riddled Rams.....Vick please, what you've seen is what you get, so leave that horse alone, it's been ridden to fuggin death. Last time I checked all 16 teams from each Conf didn't make the PO-The NFC PO teams will be better this year than the AFC-speculation sure-just mine vs yours, so that makes it a dead heat.

The AFC had Oakland, Houston, Jets, and Tenn... All under 4 wins or less. While the NFC had 4 teams as well, the AFC had the wost team...PERIOD. Youre just on the high horse that is Carolina (dont worry though...I hate the Bucs, so my NFC team is Car, but I just dont think, as of now, its NFC or AFC is better...time will tell) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 I think it is more unclear who the toast of the NFC is, where the AFC is a bit more clear. Panthers Seahawks Bears Falcons someone from the NFC East. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Vatican Hitsquad Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 Panthers Seahawks Bears Falcons someone from the NFC East. Falcons? In what universe? I place the NFC's cream in a loose order like: Seahawks (by a wide margin) Panthers Giants Washington Bears Rams Dallas Bucs Arizona Falcons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDFFFreak Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 Falcons? In what universe? I place the NFC's cream in a loose order like: Seahawks (by a wide margin) Panthers Giants Washington Bears Rams Dallas Bucs Arizona Falcons and add a few more to that mix in the NFC and you have it right. In the AFC it's the Colts, Steelers above everyone else, then Broncos, Patriots then anyone's guess beyond that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaterMan Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 Yeah don't put the #1 rushing attack in the NFL anywhere near the top of the NFC list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skilly Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 Falcons? In what universe? I place the NFC's cream in a loose order like: Seahawks (by a wide margin) Panthers Giants Washington Bears Rams Dallas Bucs Arizona Falcons I would take the Colts, Steelers, Broncos and Patriots to win over any of those NFC teams listed, any day of the week. The AFC is still the dominant conference, and I think it's mainly becase the AFC has better quarterbacks. Brady, Manning, Palmer, Green...and soon to be Vince Young and Jay Cutler, as opposed to Delhomme, Hasselback, Eli Manning, Vick and Bulger.

The top 4 in the AFC are still in a class all their own... errr, maybe just a Conference of their own. But you know what I mean. The mediocre teams in the AFC have as much potential to breakout/step up to the next class as any taem in the NFC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PantherDave Posted August 6, 2006 Author Share Posted August 6, 2006 I guess that's the NE team Carolina manhandled last year and had Brady sitting on the bench with his head in his hands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaxfactor Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 I guess that's the NE team Carolina manhandled last year and had Brady sitting on the bench with his head in his hands I think NE did an awesome job just to make the playoff last year. I'm sure if their defense didn't have all the injuries they may have continued where they left off. Look at the year before. Pittsburgh manhandled NE in the regular season, but when it counted in the playoffs the roles were reversed(man, it still hurts to talk about that game). I think there are only 2 teams in the NFC that can hang with the AFC. The Hawks and, you'll love this one PD, the Panthers. If one of those 2 teams makes it to the big dance then we'll probably have an entertaining SB. If not, an AFC blowout is in the forecast.

I would rank Sea as better than all the above- but I am a homer..... QB play is important- but not the end all- after all Roth is coming off a SB win- and he is medicore. VY?? puhlease, talk to me in 3 years that dude won't do squat for quite some time. slight edge to the AFC probably overall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kraftykraft Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 Personally, I think the Ravens, Chargers and perhaps the Pats could wipe the floor with just about any team coming out of the NFC this year. The Bears are the only NFC team with a decent shot, and only if Grossman plays consistently well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whomper Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 (edited) I dont think its so cut and dry that the AFC will take the superbowl this year..IMO the Ravens are the best in the AFC..I think that ferocious D along with an experienced Mcnair and a better O then they have had in recent years makes them tops..Chargerz of course can possibly pick them off...NFC has a similar team in Chicago ..Their D hasnt been as dominant as early in the year but still has big weapons..I think the fate of that team lies with Grossman..Saints have very dangerous Offense..Eagles are playing inspired Great D, Westbrook etc ..Dallas only hope IMO is to catch fire again like they did when Romo first came on board and right the wrongs on D..I think this years superbowl is going to be a great one as many teams match up pretty good..

Retrograde assault Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 I think the AFC will win the superbowl this year but I'll root for the NFC. I'm just ready for the playoffs, my fantasy season is done and I'm looking forward to some exciting football! The regular season can end already!

Vet Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 What's said in August should stay in August. That said, the AFC is so much better than the NFC it's laughable. The level of play in the NFC is only slighly above college football. However, an NFC team could get lucky in the Superbowl and win it. You know, the any given Sunday thing.
