It's interesting because after week 4 in the NFL there does not seem to be any clear cut favorites in the NFC. It seems like any team can beat any other team on any given day in the NFC. Here is a look at some of the teams that were considered stronger at one point this season.
Bears: They won once this season when an opposing player had a potential game-winning touchdown taken off the scoreboard with 25 seconds left to play. They won another game when their opponents lost a touchdown and two turnovers as part of an 18-penalty mess. There are no asterisks on NFL records, and the Bears are 3-1. But did you watch Sunday night's game and think it was just a bad matchup? Or were the Bears exposed?
Packers: Dominated the Bears but couldn't pull away and ended up having a very sloppy game in terms of penalties. Then squeezed by the Lions this past week.
Saints: Squeezed by the 0-4 9ers on MNF a couple of weeks ago. Lost to Hotlanta in OT last week. Could have very easily lost to Carolina this week at home who had their rookie QB (Clausen) starting.
Giants: Got beaten up bad against the Colts and Titans. ESPN's John Clayton stated, "With all the penalties and turnovers, the Giants appear to be a team in disarray." Came back strong defensively against the Bears and may have saved their season.
Cowboys: Started out 0-2 but had a big win over Houston that may have turned their season around.
Iggles: Looked much better with Vick at the helm who almost led them to a comeback victory over the Pack. Then got them two good wins before suffering an injury early in a loss to the Redskins. Looks like he will return soon which is probably a good thing for that team.
Bottom line, it doesn't look like there is a clear cut favorite in the NFC and right now it appears the divisions and the conference are up in the air for any team to take. As the season goes on, we'll see if teams step up or step down but it's exciting for teams like the Redskins and Rams and others who find themselves in the thick of things with possibilities to make pushes in the coming weeks.
I LOVE THE NFL!!!

It seems that there is a strong correllation with JKSD's, Deepie's and Robs fantasy teams. You all thought that you were going to have good teams, but it turns out that you don't. Very interesting.
Lot of season left. Just getting ready to take the league by storm starting this week as I take on the Pears United!
Awesome - I did not realize we were head to head this week.
As for the NFC, this is how the new NFL is. I think the races will come down to the final weeks. Just going to be one of those years.
RANDY MOSS!!!
NFC beware!
