Saying that the Bucs are nothing special is also saying Green Bay is terribly overrated, since the Bucs spanked GB last week.
Eagles fans...I think that Philly is a top 3-4 team, but I wouldn't put them ahead of the Bucs...
yet
the Eagles have proved that they're quite inconsistant. They got beat by 3 teams in the AFC South, which is considered one of the weaker divisions in football, in 3 meetings. There's no excuse for losing to Tennessee, Jacksonville and then get destroyed by the Colts who were coming off a 3 game losing streak.
And if you're gonna go by only head to head matchups, it would mean that the Texans could be better than any other team in the league since they beat the Jags who beat the Eagles who beat the Bucs who beat the Packers and so on.
the Eagles did expose the fact that Tampa can be quite beatable. But the Colts did the same to the Eagles....only it wasn't a 20-10 game....it was a 35-13 game
I still think the Eagles are easily a top 5 team...but not the best
oh, and my prediction for the Super Bowl is Miami vs. Tampa
