It is interesting. Rodgers and Brees' teams have been inconsistent which is unusual given both are HoF QBs. There does seem to be an upset or upstart in the NFC much more often for some reason. Seattle I think is coming to its end too. They were abysmal yesterday on offense. I wonder if Wilson makes a push to be traded at season's end. Rodgers is most likely also done in GB so the NFC is doing to have a big shake up in terms of legacy type QBs with really only Brady as the old guard.The NFC as a conference is thought to be more “open” in recent history because no team has consistently won the conference. In the AFC, there’s more of a dynastic trend with the Patriots, Chiefs, and to some degree Steelers. But if you look at the reality, it’s mainly due to postseason failures and not overall team strength. The Packers and Saints, after winning the SB in 2010 and 2009, have since combined to make the postseason 15 with 11 appearances in the divisional round. The Packers have 3 conference championship game appearances.
So there really is an old guard here, though the Saints may have just reached the end of their run. The Seahawks have been a consistent contender since 2012 as well.
