Yeah but how often has the 6th seed been clearly better than two division winners (Bears, Seahwaks/Rams). We also know we are just as good as the Falcons, and Eagles.

That's just it......we haven't beel blown out of ANY game this year. We can play with any team.
If we bring our "A" game, we are unstoppable.

But we HAVE to take care of business (the Bears) first!

We have 6 losses, blown out or not, doesn't matter. Good teams win close games and right now, we are not able to win close games. Typically, I believe playoff games tend to be close games, that worries me.

On the positive side there is little difference in the record if you are the #6 or the #3.

This year there is no team clearly ahead of the others in the NFC. I would say Atlanta is the most consistant performer but they don't distance themselves from teams and would get the nod based on their home record.

Still. I see no fear in playing Atlanta. Their are good but definately beatable.

Had Philly won last night there was a good chance we would play the Bears in Round One which I would have liked. Now it looks like Philly and after what I saw last night and the fact they haven't played well in the last few games other than one quarter against the Giants we can beat those guys.

First we have to get by the Bears, and I don't expect them to roll over for us. They'd love nothing better than knocking us out of the playoffs.

IF we get past the Bears, facing Vick is going to be a tremendous stress on our defense. In our first game against Philly, we were facing Kolb for most of the game. When Vick came in, he caused us lots of problems.

Stop the big play and the Eagles aren't anything to fear. I don't think we've been slaughtered with big plays too often this year.

I'm not worried too much about the Bears, or Eagles IF we play OUR game, we'll be fine. It's the Falcons I'm more worried about.

No denying, Bears are first concern. That's obvious.
