    They look unbeatable at home right now. It seems like they can score whenever they want to. Unless Rodgers gets hurt, I don't give anyone a real shot to go there and beat them.

    Honestly, it's between Falcons and Saints for division title. I see Falcons winning due to slightly easier schedule (Steelers, Panthers, Saints)

    of course it is. They're the two best teams in the division, by far.

    TB has 2 wins so they have no shot and Carolina sucks (putting aside their best game of the season, which came yesterday).

    Seattle would take them apart. But outside of that I agree.

    I just don't want the Packers to play Seattle. Home or not, they play the style that can beat GB, and that scares me. All the other teams I don't think the Packers would have too tough of a problem with.

    Yep, and I've seen this happen three straight years now with Green Bay. Seattle is a nightmarish match up for any team, Packers will lose if they have to play them.

    Carolina is only a half game back. Yisman, you, and others can give them no chance, but less than a single game, with 3 to play still, means I'm giving them at least a decent shot. They could go 2-1 and win the division.

    Nice! How much did you end up winning by?

    and he has best TD/INT ratio of all time by far. Way ahead of Young, Brady, Manning, and Rivers.

    Of course, the passer-friendly rules kind of eliminate any past QBs, which is what the talking heads fail to understand when they talk about how great guys like Stafford and Cutler are for throwing for a lot of yards.

    The standard for QB greatness (in terms of stats) is radically different now than it was 20-30 years ago, and obviously 40-50.

    So all the lists are dominated by current QBs, kind of like how the home run lists were taken over by all the steroid freaks.

    Well, the Jets don't have a QB (it's been a while, last one was Pennington), so there's a lot of guys I'd take! But yeah, I'd say Ryan is top 10.

    huh? You don't remember Seattle beating the Saints? Marshawn Lynch? Beast Mode?

    The problem is that they suck.

    They definitely have a shot because they host TB and Cleveland and go to Atlanta. Atlanta hosts Pittsburgh and is @NO. NO is @Chicago and @Tampa Bay.

    What I was saying was that he wasn't going out on a limb because those two teams are tied for the division lead and they're clearly the two best teams in the division. NO and ATL are mediocre teams. Carolina has been one of the worst teams in the NFL (as has Tampa Bay).

    I'm pissed off at the Saints. They cost me a bunch of money this weekend with their no show. I hope they lose out -screw them and their ryan defense. Atlanta for the division.

    Does Tampa have a shot? If so they got to be the only team in history this late to have a shot at a division title or the no.1 overall pick at the same time

    Nah, Tampa Bay is done. Atlanta and New Orleans play each other and both have 5 wins

    Okay they made it past the first round, forgot about that, that's what I get for going strictly off memory on the fly :) It would still be embarrassing to have a sub .500 team make the Superbowl.
