This is how I think teams will finish...

Looking at each teams schedule, I think it could very easily work out like this:

CAR (13-3)

NYG (13-3)

ARI (10-6)

MIN (8-8)

ATL (11-5)

TB (11-5)

PHI (10-5-1)

NO (9-7)

WAS (9-7)

DAL (8-8)

CHI (8-8)

That would have me predicting us playing Minnesota in Charlotte for our first playoff game (since I think the Bucs would lose in Arizona, and the Falcons in Minnesota.. both would be great games though)... The Giants would then play Arizona in NY, and probably win...

I think we could top Minnesota, especially at BOA... That would put us against the Giants for the NFCCG, in Charlotte.. I've said all year that I'm not afraid of Eli and the Giants, and them not having Plax is icing on the cake.. I think we'd be bound for Tampa for the SB...

To be honest, nobody in the NFC really scares me at this point, aside from TB, NO, and possibly Dallas, Atlanta, or Philly should we have to play any of those last 3 in the playoffs...

TB is the most versatile on offense and defense as a whole, with NO being close behind them.. Dallas can self implode at any moment, as evidenced today.. Philly is beatable if you take away Westbrook and make McNabb beat you with his arm (and their WR don't scare me at all, at least as WRs).. Atlanta is scary if they can run on you, which they did to us easily last game...

We need to focus on each game though.. Don't get me wrong.. These are meaningless predictions based on how teams are playing now versus their potential versus who they play...

Being completely honest and logical, our defense needs to buck up, and our offense needs to continue improving... If we can do both of those things, there isn't a team remaining for us that we cannot outmatch and outplay!

You do know if it ends the way you say the NFL will be pissed. The last thing they want is the NFCS being the strong division. They will say the reason for the Panthers success is the down year for the NFCE and it's just a fluke. Nothing would make me happier than having one playoff team from the NFCEast, the talking heads wouldn't know what to do. :D

    • Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.
    • Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
    • Well, we got our answer on Army today.
