ATL @ NO - amazing how the Falcons will go 6-0 without being all that good. Saints can already kiss this season off.

If you look at the Patriots, one astounding stat sticks out, they have nearly doubled up games in points. Teams that do that tend to do things like win Super Bowls. There is another team who has done that as well, Arizona, but they have a whopping 11 team ints so far, and have started many drives deep in opponents sides of the field.
I have to wonder if Johnny Manzeil will be with the Browns next season after his latest "mishap".
I'm not going to pick games this week, but think there's a chance Buffalo upsets Cincy at home. They were so sloppy against the Giants, and still almost beat them.
I'm also curious to see how Detroit's offense plays this week.
Denver is likely to eek out another win to go 6-0, but they are miles from the level of New England, or Green Bay.
Carolina is unbeaten playing against a struggling Seattle team. I think Seattle turns a corner and wins here, but if the Panthers do, they are for real.
Finally, I like the Giants to surge into first with a win over Philly. Both teams are playing better, in a weak division, where mistake free playing means wins (ouch), and an 8-8 team may take the division.
Hey, wouldn't that be something if the Patriots went 16-0, the Giants went 7-9, and they met in the Super Boel again? Maybe not.
Hats of to Carolina, though I'm still stinging. Noteworthy is the fact SEA has outscored opponents in the first 3 quarters of play, but have given up the lead in the 4th quarter by a negative (-) 23 before the game today. So after today, make that about a -40 (sigh). Tell you what though, win or lose, I really love watching stud MLB Luke Kuechly! And as good as SEA MLB Bobby Wagner is (who was out today), still wish SEA had Kuechly (sorry BWagz).Pricey_sky said:In heaven right now, 2 80-yard drives in the 4th Q, the last coming in the final 2 minutes to win the game. Panthers owed the Hawks that after last season and go 5-0!

The NFL is a slop fest thins year so its realistic that they could be a 10 win team if they pull a few pieces together (your could says that about several teams). They really aren't that far off: get Lynch going again, get LBs and DBs back to Boom level=10 wins.Alpe d'Huez said:Right after I was tossing some praise at the Giants, even Eli, they completely lay an egg, looking like the Giants of the last two years, maybe worse. What an awful performance. Not that the Eagles and Bradford deserve a lot of credit. Many of his throws are still off, they can't seem to run the ball worth much, but their OL did protect, and their defense played consistent, and made some big key plays.
Michael Vick says he could play next week, but after Landry Jones solid performance against Arizona, why would the Steelers put Vick back in? Big Ben due back in about two weeks or so.
Pete Carroll is saying the season is far from over (I agree), and the Seahwaks could be 6-0. That part is a head scratcher. They gave up some big, long drives, and blew some key plays against the Panthers. And if you look at each game, and recall the game against the Lions, where they could have actually lost had it not been for a mis-call by the referees late, they'd actually be 1-5. Even if they get playing better, and I question how much better they can get, they really are on the outside looking in. Can they really go 8-2 the rest of the season? That would take them to just 10-6, a record that doesn't guarantee a playoff spot.
IMO that was Sherman's bad. Even if the call from the sideline is confusing, the "best" cover guy in the league should know what to do/who to cover in that situation. If he wasn't covering that route/Olsen, what/who was he covering?on3m@n@rmy said:I'm sure you have heard about the finger pointing going on this week in Seattle over who blew the coverage on the final Carolina TD to the Carolina TE. Was it Thomas, Sherman, or a late or dual call from the sideline? At least we know which sideline the defensive call came from, right?
So in Seattle the Legion of Boom this week is the Legion of Whom.![]()
