NFC Week 6 Roundup

NFC East

Bye Bye Cowboys?

At the start of this season, I like many others thought this could be the year the Cowboys finally broke through and won a playoff game for the first time since 1996. I even picked them to be the NFC's representative in the Super bowl. Through their first 3 games the Cowboys looked to be everything that was promised. Great offense, strong defense, 3 very convincing victories. However the last 3 weeks they haven't looked like the same team. Now there are reports that Tony Romo has a broken finger and will be out for at least 4 weeks. If true the Cowboys could very well be sitting at home this January, considering the division they play in.


NFC South

Hello Falcons?

The NFC South has been one of the most wide open divisions in Football for a long time. Each of the last 3 years, we have seen a different divisional champion. The only team not to win it recently is the Falcons, but they are trying to do something about that. Rookie Matt Ryan seems to have the poise it takes to be a winning QB, and the Falcons keep looking stronger each week.





NFC North

Who will win the North?

The NFC North Division looked like it had a chance to be a very strong division at the start of the year. Everyone loved the Vikings and the Packers were coming off a 13-3 year. The Bears also looked strong early on. Lately through, the division has looked anything but strong. All 3 teams sit tied for first with 3-3 records, while the awful Lions bring up the rear. The Vikings really haven't impressed and the Packers have had no running game at all. If The Bears can get their defense healthy, they could have a good shot to win this division.

NFC West

Year of the Cardinal?

Are the Arizona Cardinals finally going to do it? The team that has had great skill players and a solid defense for a long time now, finally looks poised to make some noise. Kurt Warner is showing flashes of his old past and The Cardinals keep winning games. No one else in the West appears to be even decent, so if the Cardinals can't win the division this year, they may never win it.
