Not sure destroying Houston is that big of a deal, maybe I should have moved them down further.
It is if you have Houston as n.5
I don't think so, they are not as strong on defense this year. 4th best in NFC and falling.
I switched 'em
There we go, others should post up their top 5 bottom 5
AJ doesn't look as explosive as in the past, and eventually their lack of explosiveness on offense will slow them down in the playoffs and losing Cushing hurts. I know that I wouldn't want to play Brady or Rodgers in the playoffs.
No idea how you can have a team witha winning record and one of the top defenses in the bottom five.Top fiveNy Giants 5-2CHI Bears 4-1ATL falcons 6-0HOU Texans 6-1DEN Broncos 3-3ETA Bottom Five32. JAX Jaguars 1-531. CLE Browns30. CAR Panthers29. KC Chiefs28. OAK Raiders
Cleveland tries hard, their fans suffer the most, I'm not piling on right now. That's not the Browns, that's an expansion team that never got off the ground.
Top 51. Giants(defending champs and Eli is clutch, defense isn't great but good enough to win)2. Packers(slow start and some questions on defense, but they still have a great offense that will only get better with Jennings)3. Patriots(Haven't played up to their potential yet, but they have a solid run defense and a great offense, pass defense is a problem)4. Falcons(Undefeated even though they have struggled lately, run defense is still a problem and Ryan has yet to win a playoff game)5. Niners(Almost went CHI here but I'm not a Cutler fan at all in big games, Niners still have a great defense, but offensive issues)Bottom 51. Jaguars2. Chiefs3. Raiders4. Panthers5. Titans
Or a team with a .500 record in the top 5
Arizona won their first 4 games, they might drop 7-8 in a row, already dropped a quick 3.
The team is a disaster. Top two backs on IR, the starting backup QB out at least 6 weeks, the backup backup QB blows, the O-Line is a mess... the ONLY thing they have going is a solid D.Edit:
With Skelton, you have a strong argument. With Kolb, I don't think they're in the conversation.Or a team with a .500 record in the top 5
I appreciate the sentiment, but really?
IE is serious business
you tell'em IE!!mine in order: Atlanta, Houston, NYG, GB, SF
I gathered.
Curious, what is it about GB, in your opinion, that elevates them ahead of Houston and Atlanta?
Math fail. "Why don't you just make 10 louder?"
The Packers destroyed Houston in Houston on a Monday nighter (probably the most impressive performance by any team so far this year), so they're easily on top of the Texans imo. As for the Falcons, they've had one of the easier schedules in the league so far, and they just barely beat the Panthers and Raiders at home, 2 of the worst teams in the league. As for the Packers, I think Rodgers is the best player in the league right now, so when he's on his game like he has been the past couple weeks and their defense plays competently I think they're the best team in the league.
Sunday IIRC...not that it matters
You're right, my bad.
I gathered.
They've played no one so far and looked bad doing it. They're not the same team they've been for the past decade. I think, among other issues this team has, the two SB losses have really affected Brady's psyche.
As a Bills/Ravens fan all I can say is...Yup :(
I'd agree that the Texans have played better over the entirety of the season, but the Packers have really picked up their play these last 2 weeks and if there was a game next Sunday on a neutral field I think the Packers would beat the Texans, or any other team for that matter. And the fact that the defense isn't fantastic doesn't necessarily matter if the Packers offense is putting up 30+. If the Packers defense can keep their opponents at around 21-24 points the Packers will win the game more often than not.
Maddening loss for the Bills today. Worst run D by a long ways, but Fitz cost them the game with that awful throw with 3 minutes left. Really like their other skill position players, but dayum that defense sucks bad.Jets are a bad team with major injuries but they played tough today. Giants got lucky today but good teams find a way to close it out.
