There were just as many true contenders in the NFC as the AFC.

NFC:
Seahawks
Packers
Cowboys
maybe Lions

AFC:
Patriots
Broncos
Ravens
Steelers

Seattle is more than legit and they earned their spot in the championship

I don't think it was bad AT ALL. I'm saying his opinion probably comes from the fact that it isn't as strong as last year (when it was yoked)

the lions were stronger contenders than anyone wants to believe...they would give any team in the field a run for their money.

that defense was just so legit, but Stafford just can't help himself...he is favresque. Great one week, a fricking bum the next

they didn't fade down the stretch (which they have a history of doing since becoming a .500 ball club), and I think they were perfectly suited to beat the seahawks.

When I saw Green Bay just clipping down the field all game (until McCarthy pussed at the end) with simple passes to TE over the middle, sideline outs, and the success that Lacey had running the ball (all in the raucous Pac NW), I just envision New England having even better weapons to do the exact same things with their shifty WR's and Gronk and Vereen and Blount in a perfectly manicured domed stadium with zero wind and relatively no crowd noise (but albeit with fully inflated hard footballs).

I could actually see Vereen having a HUGE day catching balls out of the backfield as a 4th option because the Seahawks will probably be so dead-set on not letting Gronk kill them. If LaFell or the white WR's can occupy Sherman Brady will still have several reliable and safe options on 5-15 yard slants, dumps, outs, comebacks that he can pepper all day long.

Remember that the Super Bowl last year was played in a windy and freezing outdoor stadium that played 100% into the hands of the Seahawks and 100% away from the strengths of Denver's offense.

Somewhere, Roger Klarvin still doesn't think Seattle is the best team in the NFC.

Green Bay partially exposed their D last week IMO. Just didn't finish them off.

Lynch may be the baddest dude. He just doesn't always seem to give a frick

Like against Green Bay. It's like he half asses it and then decided to go beast mode

I will say their rushing attack is so good with it being the focal point for opposing defenses

Sorry but that would be Dallas....

And depending on which way Brady and company want to proceed the Hawks may not have the best rushing attack in THAT game....

Did they really though? Held Rodgers to 178 yards, 1 TD and 2 INTs. Eddie Lacy to 78 yards. Green Bay had one long TD drive and a couple long FG drives. Considering the field position given up by the offense and ST, Seattle's D did great.

I love how Lynch conducts himself on the field (minus the nutgrabbing). He rarely celebrates big runs or first downs and rarely talks shite, no shoving matches, no shouting matches, etc. Just gets up and goes back to the huddle or shakes hands after a TD run. I dig it.

QBs beaten in the playoffs:
Drew Brees
Aaron Rodgers

Oh c'mon. Aaron Rodgers? Maybe 3/4ths of an Aaron Rodgers. If hes healthy, the Packers probably score on both 4th and goals.

The Seahawks beat the NFL version of Les Miles. Playing with a limited QB, they played to keep it close, and not to lose. It was sad to witness, because Wilson has no business being in the Super Bowl

Nothing in the world special about that.
