before you guys got into your little cat fight, I was going to post something during the first game about the Niners not being very convincing this year.

With the exception of Greenbay, they have only won against shit teams. Even so, Greenbay is rather suspect.

Their losses came against very good teams--Seattle and Indy--and they were horrible losses. Considering the Indy game at home, it was rather embarrassing.

They're probably still a top 5 team, but not the SB/NFC championship lock that many had them to be.

so far this year, I got:

Denver/Seattle
KC
Indy
SF

Switch KC and Indy, maybe, but I think KC deserves that #3 spot, despite what AMDZen's superior football IQ tells us.

Just a Q... Why rank Indy so low when they've beaten both of your #1 picks?

Just saw the score of the Jets/Bengals game, wow, talk about getting out the can of whoop-ass, no one around here is talking much about the Bengals but they've beaten some decent teams and 49-9 against a good (supposedly) Jets D is impressive..

Good point, I missed on that one, but if right now either faced the Bronco's in the SB I'd have to go with the Bronco's, they had just given up 2 quick scores to the Skins and I went to mow the lawn, come back in and see a second-half blowout had ensued. I can see where the Seahawks excellent defense and the fact that Wilson is only getting better might give them a good game.

The Redskins have the worst defense in the league.

That comeback doesn't happen against Seattle. Also, Seattle has an offense.

that's a very good question. I like Indy a lot, to be honest. Like KC, they are the big surprise this year.

They've proven more than KC, based on who they have beaten and how they've done it--they also kicked SF's ass on the road.

I know I shouldn't do this with the NFL, but I still think like college rankings. They basically started "15th" or so, so to climb up to 3rd or 4th is a major coup!



I bet Indy would agree, though, that they don't belong 1 or 2. He will remind us every week that "they are "rebuilding" and to expect the wheels to fall off any minute. ...but at the same time, Luck is the greatest person in the history of the world, who can throw 20 TD's at will, traveled back in time to cure polio and AIDs, assassinated Hitler, and also RGIII is a girl and kicked his (Indy's) dog, apparently."

Seattle is done if they don't win HFA. If the Saints win HFA, I think they make the SB.

shit, why did we ignore the Saints? Did everyone forgot about the Saints already? was last season that bad?

They are ahead of SF, for sure.

Amazing what they can do just having Payton on the sideline.

The Saints have been playing good but I still have worries about the offense.

Yeah Drew Brees had a great game but it was the at home against the Bills. There have been multiple games where teams put the pressure on Brees and he was not very good, something just looked off with his playing.

The game today really should have been a bigger blowout than it was. 2 stupid roughing the passer penalties and 2 missed field goals helped the Bills out.

Good summary. Remember though, the Colts now have no #1 receiver and were pretty beat up against the Broncos, particularly in the secondary.

I still think the Broncos and Colts are the best teams in the AFC, arguments could be made for Cincy as well. The Chiefs keep winning games but you have got to be somewhat skeptical about the last 2 games, they barely won against 2 bad teams with backup quarterbacks (well I guess Campbell is not the backup anymore).

Yeah, it's a weird thought process but most people seem to follow the same path with Indy. They've lost a couple games they shouldn't have, but the wins they have are also more impressive than most.

The best team Denver has beaten is Dallas. Seattle has beaten SF but in week 2, and SF wasn't looking as good early season. Indy has beaten both of them as well as SF.

Seahawks are something like 7-2 on the road since December of last year. November is when they opened up the entire playbook to Wilson and let him take over the offense. Seattle also beat the Redskins in their home stadium during the playoffs, and came so close to that comeback in Atlanta.

The whole "Seahawks can only win at home" thing doesn't hold as much water as you might think.

That said, I sure hope the Seahawks do get home field for all the obvious reasons.

Because they can only win at home?

Last week I think the Seahawks were 6-6 on the road. That is pretty bad for a team as good as Seattle. And they haven't lost at home in forever. They are playing bad on the road, that is why people say that.


And I missed so many game today. So sad. =( I do hope AP gets a ton of yards this game, even with Ponder finding a way to ignore wide open receivers and run around for no reason.

Nice win Detroit! I though for sure they would lose.

...and LOL @ Dez for even hinting he was even as good as Calvin, and was mad because he didn't get the ball.

I see T.O number 2 in this dude -- tremendous player, but selfish lockerroom cancer.

It's funny that Calvin Johnson and Dez Bryant were in a twitter battle on which one is better then Calvin Johnson goes out and gets the 2nd most yards in NFL history. lol

Really? That I didn't know, but I heard about Bryant's trash talking. It was a part of the game plan -- get Johnson off to shut Bryant up.

Dallas has still yet to beat a winning team.
