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...
