I guess what's his face realized I was right, no comeback. I love how people on this board never admit to being wrong....

I don't necessarily think we'll make it, but we do have a shot. The Falcons have improved their team in a weak NFC and nobody can say for sure they won't make it there.

I disagree with both you and Geomar here. No way Vick rushes for 1200 yards while at the same time passing for 3000. I'm going to say 3000/650.
For you, we have Jerious Norwood, who was injured for the Ravens game last year. In case you don't know who he is, whenever healthy, he seems to break a long one for a TD or big yards each game. We also have a bigger, more bruising offensive line, which should assist Vick in pass protection.
We now have a FB who can actually make way for our RB in Ovie Mughelli, I'm pretty sure you know him very well. Last but not least, the addition of Joe Horn, which not only adds talent that was desperatly needed, but some veteran leadership for our young recievers in Roddy White and Michael Jenkins.

I don't think Atlanta has any shot, their defense took a real hit losing Kerney, Abraham is very injury prone, the OL is nothing to write home about and Dunn is another year older. Vick is a very mediocre passer and that is never going to change.
Obviously in the AFC, Indy, NE and Cincy, all with franchise QB's have the best shot at the Super Bowl and one will win it. The NFC is really a tossup, you have Philly if McNabb can stay healthy, that's a longshot. You have the Saints who could be considerably better, you have Chicago who will go as far as Grossman can carry them(He could be a lot better next season with a full year of playing under his belt), you cannot rule out Carilina making a comeback and Seattle is a threat. Whoever makes it from the NFC will have a very hard time beating the best from the AFC although the difference is closing.

I'm not sure about the Super Bowl but I fairly sure that the AFC Championship will be the Pats VS the Broncos

He's pushing the attention away from them so that we can win all the money. But perhaps I've said too much.

Ok for you, since you seem to be unfamiliar with our #1 ranked defense so it doesn't matter who is in the backfield they ain't breaking no long run, we still have Trevor Pryce, Haloti Ngata, Terrell Suggs, Kelly Gregg, Ray Lewis, Bart Scott, Chris McAlister, Ed Reed, Dawan Landry, and I could go on. And when exactly did the Falcons revamp their offensive line because last time I checked they have basically the same guys that played last year. As for the Joe Horn comment, I don't think Jerry Rice could help Roddy White catch a ball. Nice try with the homerism but the Falcons are not a Super Bowl contender.

Patriots Versus Colts --- anything the NFC puts up will be cannon fodder anyway.

The AFC Championship will be better than the Superbowl. Patriots vs Broncos with Cutler leading a gamewinning drive reminiscent of Elway

What is up with all the Eagles picks? Once D-McNabb gets hurt again they are done without Garcia, and even with him they are an above average team at best. And, they just got a year older.
