Ravens are the hot team nobody wants to face in either conference IMO.

Seahawks are probably that team in the NFC. I don't think anyone is scared of the Eagles. Nobody was scared of them last year either though so ya never know.

The Colts have that title for me, even though I'm pulling for Houston on Saturday. It's really easy to see Indianapolis going on a run too since they'd get to face the Chiefs lowly defense in the next round if they win.

I expect Ravens-Chargers to be the best game this weekend.

I've been watching the Ravens closely since I'm in the region and I'm not impressed with Jackson. The recipe to stop him is to put eight in the box and assign a spy here and there. In other words, make him beat you with his arm (he can't). I am impressed with the defense and the coaching, however. They can be had.

Get a lead on them and they are easy pickings but getting a lead on them is easier said than done

The defense is legit. Was very impressed with Cleveland scoring 21+ against them. The D is kind of on the older side though. In the end the Ravens could be MUCH better if it were not Newsome ignoring the offense. The WRs are a bunch of recycled number threes from different teams and the RB group is a joke except for the oft-injured but somewhat interesting Dixon. It's criminal - they could be much much better than they are given the coaching and defense.

It's up to Jackson - he's got a lot of growing up to do. He's like a poor man's (Pro Bowl QB) Trubisky if that makes sense. All the same faults but, as of now, less of the positives. He is only a rookie and got the job like four weeks ago to be fair. Baltimore beat them a few weeks ago but that only gives the Chargers more data on how to stop the Ravens' rushing attack, which is led by the QB.

I was wrong to say you want to knock out the Vikings in week 17. Fangio has their number. Would've kicked their ass a 3rd time in Soldiers field.

Eagles offense is more dynamic with Foles under center for whatever reason.

But Bears prolly still got this if they keep the ball out of Trubinsky's hands/arm.

Gus Edwards has been a beast.

I think NFL teams realize how to stop Baltimore's offense. It's not difficult to figure out. They haven't been able to. It's very difficult to stop a very good rushing team determined to run.

The playoffs are a different ballgame - the prep to stop Jackson will be x2. Gus Johnson has been good with what they've asked him to do but I think he's only effective because of the threat of Jackson. They need a game changer at TE, WR or RB but no one comes close unless Dixon has some sort of a coming out party. The lack of play makers on offense will be their undoing.

That was a reply to FF's thoughts and not something said in a vacuum. I guess taking things out of context has become something you could try your hand at while waiting for Packers training camp to open up.

All this talk of how great the eagles are is good for the bears because they wont overlook them and will have a chip on there shoulder. Bears win big.
