Yeah, ATL is looking seriously weak in a lot of areas, especially D.
Deff real potential for Geno, great game and clutchness. Hope this is the end of dirty sanchez for good

If Atlanta ever gets defense they may be able to hold their own. Until then...yikes.
Yes...quite ironic. The two games I thought would be suck were good, and the one game I thought would be good was suck. Shows how much I know.

Yaaaaayyyy!! Great game for MNF, of course I am pumped the Jets won. Always good when ATL does not win.....Falcons D is not as good as I thought. (Geaux Saints!!)

Geno isn't bad honestly.
Along with Wilson and even Pryor glad to see these running QBs that can actually pass.
Let's see if he can run the 2 minute.

Whew. These falcons are certainly trying to be most disappointing team this year. (I know I know...probably to no one in here but whatever)
As for #2 in the afc...Colts, Chiefs, and Pats are all battling for it in my mind. Each has issues to prevent from saying definitively yes but I'd say the Colts are (or perhaps will be is better) the closest IMO.

damn, brutal.
mhm Linden, NJ 5 miles up the road pretty much.
I actually saw him play once, when Temple came to Penn State. I just recall it was a defensive game and his name stood out. Knew the name/he was a good player only because they were a kind of rival to PSU but can't say I knew much of him. Crazy how things turn out.
Geno is looking good. He's a rookie, for sure, but nice arm, stands well in the pocket, holds up under pressure...none of which Sanchez could do. If any fan still wants him back they're loons

Hobbled or not, too many weapons. Hope I'm wrong, I like Geno and and local Mo Wilkerson.
Cincy is playing some epic defense but Dalton has really stalled as a player.
The AFC #2 eh? Hm...well KC is legit, I'll say it. The Pats will get things back on track, and they play mean defense.
Cincy is up there, Indy has true grit. I don't believe in Houston (downslide), Baltimore (rebuilding), or Miami (upswing) though all are strong teams...maybe not Texans

Wilk's from NJ? I didn't realize that. Went to school at Temple and saw him play a few times. I was pleading for the Eagles to draft him, but we needed a 28 year old firefighter who we needed to have switch positions despite being inexperienced already so that we could cut him after he accomplishes nothing two years later.

No interest in watching this game tonight, but I think the Jets are going to win in ugly fashion.

Cincinnati's D-line could handle Denvers O-line, and after the game against the Patriots, their secondary could probably help keep the Broncos to under 30 points. Of course, their offense can be anemic enough to keep them out of the game.
Who's the second best team in the AFC right now? That title is most assuredly up for grabs between Cincinnati, New England, Baltimore, Miami, and Indianapolis. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if those are the teams who make the playoffs behind Denver. I don't think Houston or Cleveland quite have what it takes. Cleveland is on the upswing, but I just don't see much more upside.

Agreed - I only saw a halfway decent pass rush at the end when Romo blew it.

The NFC West never was gunna be a cruise IMO, the Niners don't have Crabtree or Aldon Smith. Assuming they come back this year and can perform, it'll be a boost on both sides of the ball, and they are already playing pretty well. And as sick as they are, Seattle does have a very conservative/limited offense though Wilson I believe has all the potential. Those teams + N'arlins are the tops in the NFC for sure.
While Peyton is on pace for 6000 yards and 60 TDs  apparently the only team that can stop Denver is Denver, I've never seen such headsratching defense. I guess kudos to Dallas....the Broncos seemed to have em wrapped up and just let go. I swear a couple of times it looked like they were pushing the WRs off em! So many just stood there while Dallas ran by em, maybe feigning an attempt at a tackle. Deff a few times they stood like a statue, while balls flew right over them to a WR standing still, then run off.
Oh, and Romo could've made a sandwich, read war and peace and taken a cat nap before making his throws. That was some sublime blocking/attrocious pass rush. That was a Giants-esque level of bad play!!

Its the fantasy players in the office....I have never done fantasy football, but for some reason that is now turned into the official prediction method/discussion around the water cooler. Since we don't get many Saints games in the PNW, I only get to see NFL redzone action......When I look at the stats it makes little sense how the Saints won...but yes I am glad they did. 49ers are on a roll, Hou is horrible, well very bad in the last two games. NFC West will be a tight race now...almost looked like the Hawks were gonna cruise. As I said the Hawks lost their game at halftime, 3 FG in 2 qtrs will win you very few games if none... Really want the Jets to pull one out tonight, but in ATL does not seem viable. |
They're [Hou] a great team with a qb who was above average when he was in his prime. They look like an 8-8 type team right now.
