Re: NFC Playoff Predictions

Odds are not with us on advancing to the big dance from the #6 wildcard seed, but OTOH I don't ever remember an NFC title picture quite as shaky as this one. As Soup says, there isn't a team in the hunt that we haven't either already beaten once this season or had the lead on and just squandered in the second half.

And it certainly does seem like we're peaking at exactly the right time: hot QB, healthy WR and RB again, O-Line is playing (reasonably) well, defense is playing inspired ball and role players and new guys are really stepping up. We've developed a killer instinct, and the team certainly has that "team of destiny" vibe going for them, as so many of Joe's earlier championship squads had.

I always said if the Skins make it to the Super Bowl again in my lifetime I was going to take out some money and go, no matter what the cost, because who knows when it'll happen again, and seeing Joe coach a SB team before he retires or passes on is kind of like having the chance to see the Beatles or Pink Floyd one last time before they broke up

Of course with the way the Pats shellacked us this year, assuming they are gimme's for the SB, I'm not sure it would be worth the cost to go...
