Even though most bytch about the quality of the NFL this year, never has there been this many undefeated teams through 7 weeks in the history of the NFL. Are those teams that good or are the other 27 teams that bad?

to be fair, the teams that are undefeated are proven winners that didn't have much turnover.

Pats won the super bowl last year.
Packers went to the NFC championship game, and had they not had a historic collapse, should've went to the super bowl.
Denver's two years removed from the Super Bowl.

What major roster moves have changed their overall team strategies? You could make the argument that those 3 teams just needed an offseason to spend time with their families.

Aside from carolina and cincinnati, are we really surprised those 3 teams are undefeated? Cincinnati has been a playoff contender for quite some time. Carolina had the most to overcome in the offseason, but they're finally able to focus on a one rb system and they're in total "eff you mode."

Everything seems in order. The undefeated teams were slated to be the top teams in the NFL.

These coaches watch hours and hours of tape, but apparently, casual football fans know better:mjlol::mjlol::mjlol::mjlol:
Yup, the coli figured it out as usual. Why arent these posters on the sidelines yet? NFL sleepin...
:sas2:


On another note, are officials not checking for air pressure in the footballs? I dont understand how Brady is still tearing up the league if the footballs are fully inflated. Pretty sure he only won games for the first 15 years of his career cus the footballs were deflated....

yes we should be surprised especially Packers who always start off slow. three teams undefeated hasnt been done ever at this point let alone 5 (i think)

I just think outside the power houses, other teams have dropped off. I mean look at SEA. They fell off hard.
