This is going to be one of those years where the conference championship is THE game; Vikes v. Saints.
Is it looking plausible that we could have 2 undefeated teams at the end of the regular season? If they both get through this week, then I don't think it is all that much of a long shot. I realize that neither of them is likely to have much to play for in the last couple of weeks (I guess Indy has already locked up home field, and NO obviously will have by week 17 if they are still undefeated). However, I have to think that coaches Caldwell and Payton are smart enough to do everything they can to keep their respective teams focused on execution, and on a roll, heading into the playoffs - especially since they will have a two week break before their first playoff game.
And, the Jets winning record aside, the Jets, Bills, Buccaneers and Panthers are all terrible.[/QUOTE]
I am completely offended you left my Brownies out of that group! We are so terrible that we defeated a bitter rival for a 2nd victory of the season...taking our chances of snagging one of the first 2 picks to pretty much nil.

I didn't mean to dismiss the terrible-ness of the Browns - I would never do that. However, the criteria for inclusion in my list was being one of the Colts or Saints remaining regular season opponents AND being terrible.
