NFC Preview with a Little Help From The 80's

It is now time to preview the NFC. Like the last post, I will preview each team in relation to 2 songs from the 80's. That is the 1980's for you young whippersnappers. I will also list each team in a predicted order of finish and with there records. On we go.

NFC East:

Dallas Cowboys (10-6):

"Digging Your Scene" - The Blow Monkeys: The talk of the preseason has been the giant screens that the Cowboys have placed over their field. There is no doubt that the other owners are jealous and I am pretty sure Dan Snyder will have some sort of hovercraft video screen within the next few weeks.
"Secret Separation" - The Fixx: Well, maybe not so secret, but the Cowboys have rid themselves of the no talent distractions Terrell Owens, Pacman Jones, Tank Johnson and Jessica Simpson. This is a good thing, well until Romo finds another blonde bimbo.

New York Giants (10-6):

"Goody Two Shoes" - Adam and the Ants: "Derr, I meant to throw it to my receiver. Lets go get some ice cream and then head to the sock hop". Giants fans, your starting QB.
"Everybody Wants to Rule the World" - Tears for Fears: This is for coach Coughlin. Currently he rules a 4x4 foot square in his back yard.

Philadelphia Eagles (8-8):

"I Know There's Something Going On" - Frida: We know Donovan McNabb is sensitive (not a good trait for a QB) and they still bring in Michael Vick. This is not going to end well.
"Legs" - ZZ Top: If the Eagles are going to succeed it rests on the legs of...oh you thought i was going to say Vick...but no, it is Brian Westbrook. If he can exceed his career high of 8 games played, things might be ok.

Washington Redskins (7-9):

"Bringing On The Heartbreak"- Def Leppard: Every year the Redskins make a big free agent signing, only to be disappointed again and again. Hey is that Strausberg over there (trying to distract the Skins fans from another disappointing season"
"Toy Soldiers" - Martika: I think this is how Dan Snyder views his team, except he has no arms and can only move them with his nose. (Somehow that made sense to me)

NFC West:

Arizona Cardinals (11-5):

"I've Done Everything For You" - Rick Springfield: ...and you've done nothing for me. This goes to Anquin Boldin, who is being paid like a long snapper though he is a top WR in the game. This offense has everything you want except a running game or an offensive line, but still should roll through the West.
"You Gotta Fight For The Right To Party" - Beastie Boys: There is a good chance your back-up QB is at a party on a yacht instead of the QB meeting right now.

Seattle Seahawks (9-7):

"Who Can It Be Now" - Men At Work: This is in relation to their running attack and the offensive lineman wondering who it is this time running into their backside for a 0 yard gain.
"I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" - U2: Since they have no running attack, every receiver will be double covered thus making Hasselback go through his progressions at least 3 times before he is sacked.

San Francisco 49er's (6-10):

"How To Be A Millionaire" - ABC: For Michael Crabtree and his "advisers" saying that they are willing to sit out a year instead of accepting his slot money which is millions. Work at a fast food chain for 40 years and you might make a million dollars, which is where you are headed.
"Hold Me Now" - Thompson Twins: Frank Gore needs a hug. He is awesome, his team is not.

St Louis Rams (4-12):

"Crumbling Down" - John Cougar Mellencamp: Their offensive line on any given play.
"Living In a Box" - Living In a Box: Pretty sure this is where all of their WR would be living if they weren't on the Rams roster.

NFC North:

Minnesota Vikings (11-5)

"Hello Again" - The Cars: Hey Brett Favre, you haven't been in the news for 18 hours, better hold a retirement press conference. Being a Viking fan, I like the attention, obviously not as much as Favre though.
"Turn Me Loose" - Loverboy: This is for the hope that Favre and his ego doesn't audible out of any AP running plays. Give the ball to AP 25 times a game and you will get anywhere from 2-25 TD's a game.

Green Bay Packers (10-6):

"1999" - Prince: A somewhat return to the glory years for the Packers I think. Rodgers is solid, decent RB and really good receivers. I have no joke here, even being a Viking fan. This hurts me.
"What I Am" - Edie Brickell and the New Bohemians: What Aaron Rodgers is, and that is currently better than their former QB.

Chicago Bears (9-7):

"Space Age Love Song" - Flock of Seagulls: This is for Chicago's current love affair with their new QB, who happens to be a little spacey. This wont last long, much like any QB in Chicago for the past 30 years.
"Lunatic Fringe" - Red Rider: Brian Urlacher. Continuing the trend of great Chicago MLB's. Just a freak.

Detroit Lions (3-13):

" Road To Nowhere" - Talking Heads: Well, at least its a road. I guess. Well, maybe.
"What Have I Done To Deserve This" - Pet Shop Boys: To Calvin Johnson, the second best receiver in the league. Probably feels like a man among Pee Wee Football players.

NFC South

New Orleans Saints (10-6)

"Hungry Like The Wolf" - Duran Duran: They have an unstoppable offense led by Drew Brees, yet they have little playoff success. I think this is the year.
"Crazy" - Icehouse: The one person that could implode their team is the highly overrated tool named Jeremy Shockey. Seriously, is there anyone on the planet with talent as low as his and an ego as high as his. Oh Wait, I forgot about reality TV.

Atlanta Falcons (10-6)

"Just Like Heaven" - The Cure: How Michael Turner and Matt Ryan reacted after the arrival of Tony Gonzalez.
"Hit Me With Your Best Shot" - Pat Benatar: Turner carried the ball 373 times last year. Expect a little downturn.

Carolina Panthers (7-9)

"King of Pain" - The Police: This only applies to Steve Smith and his relationship with his teammates during training camp. Anyway you look at it, he is going to get a lot of yards and quite a few TD's
"Footloose" - Kenny Loggins: Delhomme, you need to completely forget about last year's playoffs. It is under the bridge...or stall, as are your cheerleaders.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers (5-11)

"Ship of Fools" - World Party: You know that ship they have at their stadium, well it is going to be quiet this year with the rag tag bunch of QB's they have.
"Its the End of The World As We Know It" - REM: This goes out to their defense which has been awesome for the last 5-8 years. Not anymore. But they still have Chris Hovan, who I am sure nobody wants to touch.
