Not a surprise, given their offseason pickups: the iggles are the best team in the NFC and not, I think, overrated. Look, they didn't have TO last year, and they made the NFC championship. So even if you shut down TO, they've got weapons, especially McNabb scrambling and making plays. And while their D is less strong, perhaps, than last year, they've got an excellent aggressive coordinator. D will be their weak link in the SB (if they get there; I'm NOT rooting for them, despite this post), but they are the team to beat on this side of the fence.

You beat philly by ball control and efficient passing in the red zone. We CAN do that, that is our game. But make no mistake: we've got to have the best game of the year, BETTER than last Sunday.

I'm guess I'm not surprised, but is Atlanta really not a legit team? I would think that Vic alone could upset almost anyone on a given night. I wouldn't count the Pack out, given Brett Favre, though the iggles really seem to have his number. Is Moss back? Who else is there?

The AFC is way better as a conference this year, and it's probably been that way for a few years, really. THere are a lot of new coaches in the NFC right now, so maybe that will change as these guys get established, especially Joe Gibbs.
