i think everyone in this thread vastly underestimates how important it is to have a team and not just a collection of random players.

of course it's hypothetical, but you have to at least make some assumptions. the most logical one is that they play next week, not in 2 years time.

In turn I think you are vastly underestimating the effect of fatigue. The other team would be rotating guys like crazy.

Yeah, this is key imo. If the premise is a perfectly gelled NFC team, coached by a brilliant coach over a long period of time, obviously the NFC team would be favored. In a realistic setting, the Pats would probably blow the NFC team off the field. Sad as that is.

[/ QUOTE ]

Come on, seriously? Pats were gelled and ready to demolish people by week 1 (and Brady was off and running by like game 3 of the preseason) so I think its pretty reasonable that a much more talented, much deeper team could make up for this even faster.

They have enough defensive lineman that fatigue is not an issue. They can rotate... You know... How normal teams rotate players in a game except there'll be very little drop off from 1-2-3 since its a pro bowl team.

By the fourth quarter, offensive lineman are tiring out but they are blocking equally tired out guys. In this game, they are going to be blocked well-rested PROBOWLERS in the 4th quarter. This is going to be a pretty huge edge.

agreed. Even top level athletes get tired, especially when playing against other top level athletes. Plus, linemen are kinda fat.

I'd take Packers + Cowboys best over the Pats. They aren't that good.

[/ QUOTE ]
You could pick two middle of the pack NFC teams and they would be favorites.

[/ QUOTE ]

I think this would be an interesting exercise.

How many teams would it take to make the game a pick 'em, assuming you started from the bottom up. Using AFC as well. Take the 49ers, Raiders and who else?

[/ QUOTE ]

You'd probably have to go all the way up to the 4-6 teams. CIN, KC, MIN, NO, and BAL would make a sick team.

[/ QUOTE ]

cin/balt, cin/kc, no/balt, no/kc would all pwn. possibly swap kc and balt witn min too.

It means that the NFC can have elite players constantly at 100% because they can sub in backups that are still awesome where as the Pats dont have as good as depth.

not self-ownage, just clarifying that each team has the same number of players on the bench.
