No they don't.

This is a very results oriented statement. What Oakland is doing is unsustainable. They've been more fortunate than anything. Almost the polar opposite of the San Diego Chargers in terms of luck. The Defense isn't good enough and they're squeaking out wins. They could just as easily be 1-4 as they are 4-1 from what I see (just as the Chargers could be as well). They're a team I'm looking to bet against in the future. (I bet the chargers +3.5 today)
Naw you just caught in the hype. Denver been playing :flabbynsick: teams the whole season. Offensively they ain't scored a point on oakland since 2014.

NFC East is surprisingly good

NFC West and both Southern divisions are :trash:


As I said in another thread, QB position is looking kind of "all or nothing" these days, there are teams that win with legit superstar qbs but the teams that try to win with guys almost as good end up losing, at that point the money's better spent on the o-line/defense and to have a game manager qb

Tom Brady watched his Wolverines put up 78 on Rutgers and had bad intentions:demonic: the Browns had to be scurred :sadcam: and played like it.

The Jets:mjlol: they gave all that money to Fitztragic and didn't improve shyt.

Detroit finally came through :obama:

Lets face it this year when people see the Vikes D on the schedule:merchant:

I'm not falling for the Falcons learned my lesson yeeeears ago:usure:


Oakland not bad :ehh:

I still think Dallas,Philly,Denver,Minnesota are middle of the pack teams that are playing with a hot hand at qb and good defense. There's not 1 team that is wowing me as in team I mean offense and defense I believe that these 4 teams will come back down to earth because of their qb.

i don't know about middle of the pack. I mean at the beginning of the year, i would have said Carolina and Arizona again. But guess what, maybe it's just not their time anymore. It looks like its gonna be fresh meat running the nfc. and right now, its the vikings, eagles, cowboys and falcons. Nobody predicted it, but it's happening.

Tom Brady is still TOM BRADY! (Pats 2 TE System is back and it's going to be a problem!)
If Raiders Defense can get right they could be the biggest Darkhorse in the AFC
Steelers Offense is great but the Defense is still suspect
The back of the Broncos Defense might break if they have to keep carrying them by the end of the season
Bills - Keep an eye on them
Packers - Something is "off" about Rodgers
Cowboys - They'll be CRAZY to put Romo back in whenever he's healthy
Vikings - That DEFENSE!
Eagles - Tough way to lose a game but they'll be fine
Falcons - Solid Offense and their Defense was solid (Even if it was against a Rookie QB)
Jets - Revis stole so much money from them
Browns - Brady's presence had them acting like fanboys
Bengals gonna Bengals
Chargers - The unique ways they find to lose a game is fascinating

NFC - WIDE OPEN
AFC - 3 Team Race

last night was a fluke, giants pass rush was trash

lets see how the line playin in december

rodgers never had a good oline in his career

2014 he had a good line...and it got them to the NFC ship game with a bad leg. The line has been solid except against Minny which is expected.

It never fails. Every year we watch these big money "gotta have a QB" QBs with the "canon arm" and "all the potential in the world" play average or worse while some journeyman like Hoyer or McCown or Hill balls out.

I forget, did they change the rule so garbage teams won't host teams with better records just because they won a bad division? I remember people talking about it but can't remember if they did anything ... If not a few division winners are gonna get exposed in the first round this year
