Chip Kelly has to be in the conversation too. Strange that Reid made both the Eagles and Chiefs much better by switching teams last offseason.

Bruce Arians should be in the coachof the year conversation. He got a lot out of that Cardinal team in a really tough Division.

Even Rex Ryan should garner some appreciation for his work. The others mentioned did more, but he brought a terrible Jets team to an 8-8 record, when many expected them to win half as many games at most.

Green Bay has to be the dark horse in the upcoming playoffs. With Rodgers back as QB I like their chances of doing something.

When looking at the final 12 teams it just goes to show how important it is to have an elite level QB at center.

Brady
Dalton
Luck
Manning
Smith
Rivers
Foles
Rodgers
Newton
Brees
Wilson
Kapernick

Would anyone argue that those 12 are not the best 12 QBs in the league right now (or at least in the top 15). The only three you could question are Foles, Smith, and Dalton, but they all had really good years, and could be considered better than Romo, Eli, and Roethlisberger right now. Not a terrible QB among them.

It's going to be a real interesting playoffs.

Eagles won't win easily if at all. Look at what Witten did to the defense tonight. Graham is going to be nightmare. Also, Chip won't get away with coaching against Payton like he did against Garrett.

These NFC games are interesting because the better teams are having to go on the road. Green Bay played the Niners tough in week one in Candlestick and now get them in Lambeau. Than you have the Saints going to Philly in what could be a bad weather game. I can see both those games going either way.

Probably a better QB then Flacco, right Clay Davis?

Today he would have been. No way he could beat out Tucker for the kicker job.

I don't think the Colts will win easily. I'd be thrilled if that happened but KC is a good football team. They put in almost all of their backups today and almost won. Not to mention that having beat them last weekend pretty handily, they will have a chip on their shoulder and something to prove. They have one of the leagues' top 3 rushers in Charles as well who is a threat every time he touches the ball. They have a good defense too.

Not a great game from the Eagles but definitely glad we got the win. The offense was sloppy and almost to casual. I thought the D played well for not generating much of a pass rush.

Went 15-1 this weekend in a pick 'em pool to take home $1k. The only miss was the Cardinals.

You guys are saying this because it is your teams and you fear the worse.

Saints have a horrible defense and a worse road record.
Chefs have peaked and won't win on the road with Alex Smith 2 foot passes. Andrew Luck will hardcount them to death.

548 bucks if I am reading things right.

Our little group also nailed the last week of the season.

I really doubt he could be much worse. For my final Flacco slam of the year, I'll just present his stat line from yesterday

30/50, 192 yards, 1TD 3INT.

Yes you read that correctly. He took 50 pass attempts and didn't even get 200 yards. Its pretty much unforgiveable to throw 50 times and not get to 300, so to not get to 200 well...Didn't help that Aaron Rodgers, Peyton Manning and Drew Brees spent all day showing you what $20 million a season should get you.
