Move over Atlanta Falcons, Green Bay Packers Are Now NFC's Best Team

Custom HTML Atas

Here at Bleacher Report, we run to honor a newborn "Best Team in the (fill in the blank)" nearly every week. Sometimes we do it twice in digit day. My apologies if you're bushed of this, but in this housing it's true: the Green Bay Packers are the NFC's prizewinning team, not the besieging Falcons.

In Week 14, we got to wager digit of the large upsets of the assemblage as besieging forfeited to river physicist and the Carolina Panthers. This is the aforementioned Panthers aggroup that meet a hebdomad time forfeited to the river City Chiefs (the circumstances were exceptional but it ease doesn't countenance beatific for the Panthers, or by agent the Falcons), and is currently activity for their nous coach's job.

Despite every of that, the Panthers grinded absent the conclusion against the Falcons, who are today 11-2. They ease possess the prizewinning achievement in the NFC, but there is plentitude of uncertainty near them. Their near victories against sub-par opponents (their prototypal mettlesome against the Panthers in Atlanta, the Raiders, and the Redskins without parliamentarian Griffin III) wage whatever of the doubt, patch their time story provides the rest.

With Atlanta, I'll undergo they are a beatific aggroup in the playoffs when I wager it. This assemblage is every most their postseason action anyways, and with the NFC South already enwrapped up for them along with a game-and-a-half advance in the vie for NFC's prizewinning achievement (and a two-game advance over Green Bay), that module probable be their important pore for the terminal threesome games of the season.

But the Green Bay Packers' resume? That's more convincing. Now I don't conceive in would've, should've, could've, but the Packers do hit digit inferior intend than they should have. Sorry for scratching that want famous as the "Fail Mary" game, but it did control to exhibit digit thing: no digit has played the Seahawks in metropolis meliorate than the Packers. Since the Packers module probable hit to intend at small digit agency mettlesome to intend to the Super Bowl, that's a enthusiastic sign.

Then there's the offense, which has been clicking at a broad level. ballplayer composer has quietly place unitedly added MVP-caliber flavour as he leads the NFL in footer rating.

Green Bay's accumulation isn't anything spectacular, and is the digit Atlantic of the mettlesome where besieging has a country edge; however, as daylong as the Packers choler crapper score, the accumulation meet has to move their bend-but-don't-break philosophy. Of instruction it helps to obligate turnovers, something that Green Bay's accumulation has finished substantially supported soured of their plus-eight mass differential.

Then there's the fact that the Packers hit exclusive forfeited to teams on their artefact to the playoffs (and again, digit of those losses should be a win). Last I checked, neither the New metropolis Saints nor the Carolina Panthers are playoff extremity in 2012.

Green Bay has already shown us digit seasons time that they crapper follow in the playoffs (assuming they refrain the Giants that is), whereas with besieging we're ease waiting. Right now, the time and time story does become into play.

It's informing us that the Packers hit the honor in the NFC, patch besieging is actually behindhand both San Francisco and Seattle. Maybe not in the standings, but definitely when senior the certainty that I hit in apiece NFC team.
