Teams with 5-7 !!!!!! on the NFC this season are fighting for a place in playoffs. The AFC seems superior in teams and in players. The stats and games AFC vs. NFC are CLEARLY superior by the AFC. The AFC has dominate the Probowl since many years ago. What´s happening with that ? It´s supposed that is the same league. The AFC really represents the NFL and the NFC seems like other league an inferior division that only makes the Superbowl hard to the AFC ( but is really too hard for them to defeat the AFC ) the NFC will have a very very hard work trying to do something.
And don´t come with Romo Romo because i want to see him vs. CHARGERS, ravens, bengals or patriots.

The NFC has always been competitive. I dont think theres anything more competitive than the NFC East.
I dont see how manking adjustments and lowering the bar for talent would help, though.
Everything has a tide change. The NFC was unstoppable in the 80s and 90s. Now the AFC dominates. There were no adjustements then either.

For many years it was the other way around and the AFC was a doormat to the NFC. The league did do something to make it more competitive and added salary cap and free agency. The AFC raided players off NFC winning teams and hired NFC coaches and gradually improved the conference while depleting that of the NFC. It is now cyclical and in a few years, using the same methods, it will turn around again. This is parity! However, game stats and the like are guidelines rather than indicators of greatness. Like you said, it will be determined when a Romo plays against the Bengals and the like. If The NFC team wins then they are the better team on that day. Look at Rex Grossmans terrible stats from last weeks game but they won didn't they. Are they greatness? I don't think so.

if you go thru all the superbowls, you will see that of the 40 superbowls played, the nfc won 22 to the afc's 18. from '67-69 the nfc won 2 to 1.from '70-'79 the afc led 8-2(dallas the only team in the '70's).in the'80 only the raiders(81,84)won for the afc side,the nfc led 8-2.
in the '90's the the nfc led 8-2 with only denver(98,99)
winning for the afc.the current decade has the nfc only winning in '00,'03.for all the talk about the nfc and its 5-7 teams still alive for a wildcard,concider this,only the afc has won the superbowl as a wildcard(raiders'81,denver'98
baltimore'01,steelers'06.)only dallas '76 for the nfc has ever went. n.england'86 and buffalo'93 went and lost for the afc as wildcard.so while the nfc might advance a poorer record to the playoffs,its the afc that advances the poorer record to the superbowl.while the afc can boast of the last 2 back to back champions(denver,n.england)the nfc has'nt had a back to back champion scince dallas(93-94).seems to me that with 3 more superbowls left in this decade the nfc and afc should be a bit more ballanced.

The AFC looks like a better conference due tot he strong teams with good talent. But don't rely on the Pro Bowl has the deciding factor on which conferece is better. Count the Superbowl, and from what I can remember the superbowls have been pretty competive.
The NFC will turn it around and start dominating as it did in the 80's and 90's.

i agree. the NFC is struggling..
if dallas had to play SD, KC, and DEN twice a year, they would be 5-7 too! if not worse!
KC has been screwed out of playoff spots in recent years even though they finished 10-6. yet 8-8 NFC teams got in!
i don't think you can change the system though.. some of these NFC teams are in a rebuilding phase, and they will be better next year. especially N ORL.

Guess we forgot the era when the NFC won 14 out of 15 Super Bowls (Super Bowl XVI through XXXI, with the exception of Super Bowl XVIII).

The N.F.C is actually a very competetive conference they are just playing at a lower standard than the A.F.C. However these things go in cycles, during the 80's and 90's the N.F.C was the dominant conference now it is the A.F.C's turn.
