Official NFL week 4 Thread *oh how the mighty have fallen*

[MetalMat]

Right now I think the Broncos could beat any team in the NFL by at least 10 points. It is UNREAL how good that whole team is playing.

 

[MetalMat]

eh

NE, MIA, DEN, IND

only ones that looks stong

Falcons are rather injury depleted at the moment as other pointed out

SEA, NO, DET, CHI, GB look they could win(or lose) any game they play this year


NE is weak for 4-0, remember they snuck past the Bucs for gods sake


this season is crazy weird so far, its going to be a few weeks still to sort out who really is great, besides Denver of course

I think at this point AFC teams like San Diego, Cincinnati, Baltimore, Kansas City and Tennessee could beat the majority of NFC teams.

I've noticed more and more starting even with week 3 of preseason that Kap starts slow. It's like he has no confidence until he completes a few passes. Once he gets going though it's like a light switch, suddenly he is firing bullets with accuracy. IMO their game plan for every game should start with a couple quick screens just to get a couple completions under his belt.

Oh, and like I've said for the last decade, run the fucking ball more (RBs, not Kap).

Thank you!

I have never understood building your team around a star QB, then having him run into a pack of 6'5", 300 pound line backers. And you wonder why they never finish a full season? Kaep, RG3 and Vick all need to keep their happy asses in the pocket. And what was with Smith thinking he could run last week? Knock it off!

The Broncos fans are getting a taste of what New England fans had in 2007. That was the 16-0 year of 50 touchdown passes. It was like watching pros play amateurs.
Sadly it didn't end well for the Pats.

San Diego maybe. hard to forget their constant late collapses and Rivers putrid 4th quarter QB Rating

Baltimore? really? way to inconsistent. they just lost to the Bills, and they snuck past the Browns. Of course they level the Texans


Not sure the Titans doo much without Locker for the next month+, atleast they have a bye week 8

The jury is still out on teh bengals, they lost to the bears, beat the pack, lost the browns(with a rookie qb?!)


I could just as easily start talking about Rosy about SF turning around, how atlanta is the best 1-3 team EVER, and how the Cardinals and Carolina are so close to being a contender.



the best part out of all of this, is that MOST games are good now!! picking them SUCKS BALLS.

16 point game goes to whoever plays the damn jaguars. after that. ugh. best of luck

the other 0-4's are PIT who Im sure snaps out of it sometime, the bucs who have been in every game so far(sans Pats), including agaist the saints, and the Giants who are abysmal for no apparant reason

How does Cinci lose badly to the Browns? 3 of KC's wins have come agains the NFC East and the other came against the Jags. We have to wait and see how they do against decent teams.

We have more TD's and more Pts through 4 games then the '07 Pats. If things continue we will easily break their records in all areas. PFM breaks at least one record in every game

KC has one 'real' win.....vs the Cowboys

the rest are jax,philly,giants

 

[Adrenaline]

They scored 10 points total in those two losses, and I think that would be well within the definition of "struggling." They beat the lowly Rams this week, but that's hardly impressive. Their win against the Packers in Week 1 was very nice, though. Inconsistent is a good description, at this point.

The way they lost to the Colts was unexpected. They could still lose to the Colts. Since the 49ers were not expected to go undefeated this year, I don't take it as struggling. Their destruction at Seattle was expected.

Did all of this struggling talk come up when they lost and tied the Rams last year?

rankings and history tell it differently

"Remember when the Dolphins went undefeated? Yea but they played 4 teams that weren't any good."

And we all know that's because PFM >> Brady

That same logic could be applied to the Broncos

 

[AMDZen]

The 2007 Patriots scored 148 points in their first four games, and none of them came in a game against the defending Super Bowl champion. Through four games in 2007, Tom Brady threw 13 touchdowns and two interceptions. Peyton Manning has thrown 16 touchdowns and zero interceptions.

The Broncos as a whole have 23 touchdowns, Matt Prater has 23 extra points. The Jax Jags have 31 points on the season.

 

[Slew Foot]

Holy shit, week 6 has Broncos versus Jags. This could be the first time a team gets to triple digits (unless they pull Peyton in the first)

 

[dainthomas]

The Vikes should start Matt Cassel, or the Steelers defense was so bad, even the Vikes with Matt Cassel could beat them. Adrian Peterson would be so dangerous if the Vikes have a QB who can throw to make 1st down a few times a game.

Actually when that offensive line manages to accidentally block well, he can still get some good yardage no matter how bad Cassell or Ponder are doing. That said, the only reason they won is that they were playing the Steelers. They could probably also beat the Jags (at home).

They'll end up pulling Manning once they're up 27 or so. Osweiler needs the reps and against a weak team like the Jags is a perfect opportunity to get your backups some playing time.

We may see the Broncos installed as 30 pt favorites though.

The only reason the Jags have that many points is because the Seahawjs pulled most of their defensive starters in the third quarter.

What is the largest line in an NFL game in the last decade? Can anyone find this?

I would put the Broncos at a 35 point favorite right now over the Jags.

I think the Jags will attempt to kidnap Peyton Manning before the game so they can at least keep the game to within a 21 point loss.

what are the chances that NYG and NYJ will battle it out for the SB in NY this year? LOL!!!

I heard a stat this morning:

First 3 drives of the 2nd half against the Eagles, all started on the 20 yard line. All resulted in TDs. 3 drives, 240 yards of offense... within those 3 drives... not ONE 3rd down occurred. That is ridiculous!

In Denver, I'd say this is so. Would love to see how they would fare in Seattle.

 

[dainthomas]

They were but Seattle pwned New Orleans in the playoffs. I still have nightmares of that Marshawn Lynch beast mode run.

He had flashes of that on a couple runs yesterday. I remember him throwing at least one guy off of him with one arm.

Whatever the NFC haters say, Seattle is scary good. They basically phoned in the first half, and their D was still able to step up in the second half and give Wilson a chance to bring them back. No idea what Carroll is doing with that defense, but it's been very exciting watching them fly all over the field every game.

Really looking forward to the Indy game.

Its too bad it won't happen as I'd love to see it too. Perhaps we'll see them on neutral ground in February

A shutdown corner is easily the most underrated thing a defense can have. It makes mediocre defenses good and good defenses great.
