Outside of New England (who played terrible early) and Arizona (who just lost their starting QB), This league is wide open. Can NE keep Gronk healthy and Brady clean? Can Arizona win a Superbowl with career backup: Drew Stanton?

Denver is playing great. What? They lost to the Rams? WTF??

Cowboys are inconsistent at home. Eagles get crunched. Green Bay is playing well now, but how many games can that O Line be consistently good? Or their D for that matter.

Seattle is feeling the Superbowl hangover of facing every opponent's best performances. 49ers are up and down.

Does anyone have any faith in the Lions?

The 2-8 Bucs are only 2 games out of first place in their "division". We may see the worst record in history to qualify for the playoffs. 6-10 may do it!

KC is on a roll, but I'd take Andy Reid and his stale playbook any day in the playoffs.

Every other team of merit in the AFC is 6-4 (or Cincy at 6-3-1). Dolphins, Ravens, Cincy, Pit, Browns, Colt, and Chargers are log jammed. I don't see any consistency out of any of them. Colts will probably advance by default, because they'll win their division. I don't know who any of these teams are week to week. Texans and Bills are also still potentially in the mix.

This is the home stretch. Honestly, if the Steelers are going to advance, I feel they have to sweep Cincy. After tonight, they face a potential playoff team each and every week. Since we do better vs playoff caliber talent (and sadly yes, the 4-6 Falcons and Saints are tied for their division lead), I'm hoping they play better, but who knows what we're getting this year.

It's anyone's Lombardi...
 
I agree. I think the SB will go to whoever gets on a roll and manages to stay healthy. Which is how the Steelers won SB XL.

 
I don't think its anyone's Lombardi. I know for a fact it will only go to the team that wins the Superbowl.
 
I think Green Bays comin out of the NFC.........cant say with the AFC.........
 
STEELERS of coarse, they get hot, the others NOT, we in and win!!!!!!



Salute the nation
 
I'm not sold on the Pack or Cards yet. The NFL is such a mess this year that we might see a Lions vs. Dolphins Super Bowl. You know worst record ever vs. best record ever franchises. The world could be getting ready to tip on its axis.
 
Hell, Im not sold on the Pats either...

Brady was average at best last night. If Jonas Gray doesnt have a coming out party- it is very likely that the Pats lose that game..
 
Green Bay is looking real scary. Kinda like they did when they beat us..
 
New Orleans has a fairly soft remaining schedule so they may finish around .500 as division champs but this is a perfect example of how the NFL divisional structure and playoff format is terribly flawed.
In theory, A 3-13 team could be a divisional champ while a 13-3 team could miss the playoffs.
Four four team divisions in each conference is just dumb.
 
I suppose tonight's game is bigger for us. It would be huge for us to be a 1/2 game up going into a bye as opposed to being a half game back. If we win, at worst, we'd be 1/2 game back from cincy and tied with the rest of the teams.

If we lose, we'll be in last place with a week off and everyone else playing to gain a game on us.
