Looking at the draft and free agency moves this year, the power has shifted to the NFC. More nfc teams are looking to be contenders than ever. panthers, giants, skins, i expect the falcons, vikings, bucs, cowboys, maybe even the bears to be pushing hard for playoff spots. But in the end I really think the giants are the team to worry about b/c they seem to be par with the skins for the division, which sucks. What do you guys think?

I do think that the giants are our biggest contender for the division title, but you honestly think that the vikings will be pushing for a playoff spot over the bears? you do remember that the bears were the #2 seed last year in the playoffs? You make it sound as if last year was a fluke for the bears. I think that the bears will be hard to beat, esp. now that they have a decent QB in Greise(SP)...

The bears had and have a joke of a schedule. I don't think the bears are ALL that and a bag of potato chips but they are definately a playoff team. I would rank them, errr, 6th in the conference. The NFL is weak. I said this in another thread. It just doesn't feel like any team is crazy good. The Colts will be weaker this year. I think Arizona will be stronger. The bengals will be good. Steelers again though their offseason has been pretty goofy. Carolina will make another good fight. I expect the seahawks to fall like every other super bowl loser does. This division is the light in the NFL.

Seattle won't roll like last year but they don't have to play NFC east do they? So we might see SEA in the 1st rounder!?!??!

6 TBi meant playoff 6. not just top 6 in the conference.
you cant have all 4 teams from one division make the playoffs, at the most you can have 3.

Playoffs
Chicago- Joke schedule.
Skins
Seahawks- they will lose three to the AFC west.
Carolina
Giants
Cowboys
Top 6
Skins-Skins rule.
Giants-Tie with skins skins got better division record
Car-Wins division
Dallas-Tie breaker with Tampa to make it in
Tampa they will be served atleast 3 losses from our division+2 from their own.
Eagles-Don't make the playoffs. Too bad so sad.

Though I certainly hope the winner comes from the NFC (specifically, us), I think the biggest mover in free agency and the surprise AFC contender may be from the AFC North - Cleveland. They made some big strides in FA, signing Willie McGinest, LeCharles Bentley, and Joe Jurevicius, among others. They'll also see the return of noted haed case Kellen Winslow II from injury, and had a good draft defensively - signing Kamerion Wimbley and D'qwell Jackson.
Whether they'll slingshot past Cincinnati and Pittsburgh - who both have QB health issues - is yet to be determined. But I'd keep an eye on them.
I don't think anything has shifted until the actual games begin and we see who the best teams are. Last year the AFC was clearly the stronger conference, we'll see about this year.
