What NFL teams has the best shot of still making the playoffs if they lost their starter in week 1?

Question

I know It's a little hypothetical but use your best judgment based on the team's talent.

Answer 1

Cowboys, Seahawks, Chargers, Steelers, Colts and Patriots

Answer 2

Starter at what position? QB, RB, WR, OL, DE, LB, FS, SS, CB? Most of the top teams would be screwed if they're starting QB went down, others wouldn't be any good if they're starting RB went out, I know the Panthers would probably be terrible if they lost Steve Smith for the season (I know, he's sitting out the first two games). You're going to have to be a bit more specific about the position.

Cheers!

Answer 3

Vikings, Jackson is just there to hand off anyway

edit: the Bears chances would probably go up if they lost every quarterback on the roster! ;)

Answer 4

- Seattle (Seneca Wallace and Charlie Fry)

- Patriots (have great receivers for any QB)

- Browns (Brady Quinn can be dangerous with those recievers)

- Jaguars (They have a monster defense, and mostly running scheme)

Answer 5

jets.. best offense  line

best QB

3 good RBS

Answer 6

Seahawks or Cardinals. Hard to decide between one of those two because only 1 of them will make the playoffs, and I think they're pretty even.

Vikings

Chargers

Answer 7

Well I would say the 49ers, Cardinals, and Dolphins. I'm not saying they would have a good chance to make the playoffs. I'm just saying their chances wouldn't be hurt. The Bears and Ravens as well, they don't have QBs.

Answer 8

Titans

Answer 9

Patriots would squeeze in, Chargers might just make it, Browns have a nice chance I say they are underrated,  

Answer 10

I think the two teams that would be the most ready if taht happened are the Chicago Bears as Rex Grossman as thier back up,and the patriots because they have a rushing QB and a Passing QB(Matt Cassel as back ups for Tom Brady

Answer 11

Eagles
