[QUOTE="Sky King, post: 642246, member: 7171"] This season has had a unique feel to it, both from the Packers and NFC standpoints. With two games to go the Packers still have time to develop the necessary momentum to carry them through the playoffs. But with an underachieving offense and what seems like an ankle sprain every week occurring to one of their starters, it will be a daunting task -- perhaps, even more than it inherently should be. Earlier in the season the Seahawks led the parade of underachieving teams before they made a very nice turnaround. They now look primed for the playoffs and ahead of the Packers as far as momentum going into the post season is concerned, at least at this moment in time they appear to be so. The Packers took a turn at struggling after the bye. They still have not met preseason expectations on offense and very well may not by season's end. They're still struggling with no end apparently in sight. The next two games could serve as an accurate predictor of what lies ahead in the playoffs. The Cardinals have played consistent, winning football all season long. Some of their players have had career years, such as Palmer and Fitzgerald. They appear confident and hungry for the championship and are playing with a sense of urgency, same as the Seahawks. Lack of consistency and confidence do not seem to be problems they are experiencing. They excel on offense. My heart wants it to be the Packers but my head says the Cardinals and Seahawks are the two best teams in the NFC by a healthy margin and in that order, per their recent play. I welcome the opportunity to be thoroughly surprised by the Packers, though. And it would be even more gratifying if the Packers were to somehow pull it off because I don't expect that to happen as things now stand. But it's been a peculiar season for the NFC and for the Packers. Maybe something that would defy conventional wisdom is on the verge of taking place. I'm [I]hoping [/I]so. [/QUOTE]
