  I mean I hate the Patriots but you're telling me I'm brainwashed thinking Brady can keep the Patriots in a shootout game?

  The New England that played Pittsburgh and New York would probably lose to the Packers like 44-34.
  
  But if they improve the secondary some...which I think they will because they're good coaches and they're trying to fix it...I could see it being maybe 41-34.
  
  The Ravens and Steelers might get a few stops that some other teams wouldn't and therefore they may end up losing like 31-25...same as the Super Bowl last year.
  
  We'll agree to disagree.

  I hate Green Bay lol. After the first quarter my fantasy game was me down 74-72. Both of us had 1 active player, I had Jennings, he had Cobb. Youd think Jennings would outscore Cobb by 2 points in 3 quarters of football right? Nope, Rodgers threw Jennings way like 2 times the whole rest of the game. Fucking horse shit

  Oh no doubt Green Bay would put up points, but I just don't see the Patriots getting blown out in a shootout game. It would be 45-42 or something, but I think Brady can hang with anyone in a shootout, though right now Rodgers is the only guy id take over Brady.

  Hopefully we find out, since I think the Pats will win the AFC. They have the inside track for the Home Field advantage. But after nons talk, I hope its the Steelers or Ravens so we can find out one way or the other lol.

  It probably will be one of those teams or Texans.
  
  Respectfully I think you're counting teams out that hit a little bump in the road.
  
  Teams like Pittsburgh, Baltimore and New England are serious contenders and have been for a few years. Yeah they're not hitting on all cylinders every game but by the time the Super Bowl comes the team that is there is going to have it together just making it through the playoffs. Packers may be better, too, but maybe not. They may not have to improve any to win the NFC.

  We've seen quite a few Super Bowl champs in recent years that didn't emerge until late in the season or until the postseason.

  I don't think I'm overreacting.
  
  Jets were legitimately playing well. Patriots were coming off two losses and had to prepare well and then carry that into a big divisional game on the road.
  
  Time will tell but I think that was the Patriots putting their foot down and they're going to be a threat now.
  
  I kinda hope not but I think that's just what happened.
• I Am Ahab

  Question: to who do the Pack lose? I'm looking at @nyg 12/4.
  
  Btw, NYG were my preseason pick for SB winner. Sticking by it.

  Cobb? Points for return yards and returns TD's? If not, why would someone start him?

  Yeah points for return yards and Tds. And this fuck is retarded, and his gamble happened to pay off tonight and he beat me

  Shootout against Green Bay?!?! Yeah, you're fucking crazy.
  
  Brady is obviously good..but he doesn't have the weapons to put up Green Bay numbers.

  Seriously? Dallas is going to win the NFC East for sure. They will win their next 3 games against terrible teams and I honestly wouldn't be surprised if the Giants lose their next 3. Also Sunday was not a fluke... the Sunday night game against the Eagles was a fluke.
  
  Also I don't want to really get into this who "how much better is GB than everyone else" debate but I'll GB by 7 over anyone.
  
  As for Houston if Schaub was healthy that offense would be perfect for the playoffs their running game is better than anyone in the league. And an offense that could run the ball and control the clock would have been an awesome duel against the Packers and their passing attack sadly we won't get the chance to see that.

  anybody but the steelers. non is just the worst.
• BR1986FB

  Steelers, Patriots and Texans offenses could keep it respectable versus the Packers but I still think it would be 14 points or a bit more. Chargers = NO
  
  Of the three, I think the Texans might have the best chance at keeping it close when Schaub is healthy. With the two headed RB monster (Foster/Tate) that Houston has, they'd likely be able to chew up a lot of clock and keep Rodgers off the field.

  We will see how the Texans are without Schaub, but I feel with their system, most QBs with a good arm can succeed. If Foster and Tate keep it up, I have a feeling Leinart will do just as well.

  Cam Newton and Philip Rivers kept their teams in the game against Green Bay.
  
  Brady certainly can. We're talking about Tom Brady, right?

  I know it seems too simple...but stack the box and force him to beat you. Leinart shouldn't be starting in the NFL.

  What do you think teams have been doing to the Texans with Schaub? They stack the box to stop Foster/Tate, then the Texans draw them in with a play action and get off a long pass.
  
  It's really nothing crazy, but when your running game runs all over defenses, it makes the job 100x easier for the QB.
• Non

  

  You're selling Schaub short. He's a good QB in his own right.
  
  I agree with the point. Running game sets up play action. Most QBs will have a better chance in that type of offense. But there is still a drop off from Schaub to Leinart.
• killer_ewok

  

  I agree with those who think the Texans are gonna see a drop off, and most likely a significant one, at the QB position. And that will undoubtedly affect their running game IMO.
  
  Also, the Packers look fantastic thus far but I remember reading similar posts about the Patriots a few years back during their undefeated season. Anything can happen....and despite their unblemished record.....I think the Packers can and will be beaten. In the regular season and I could see it happening in the playoffs too. It only takes one game, one gameplan, etc.
  
  They deserve the praise they're getting...but they can get got.

  I disagree. Schaub is better than people give him credit for and Leinart is terrible and shouldn't even be starting in the NFL. I wouldn't be shocked if they maybe tried to go and get Garrard even though he said he wants to be on a team that he would be the starter for long term.
• bigdaddy2003

  

  Why doesn't Charlie Frye have a job in the NFL? I know he didn't kill it but I don't remember him being so bad he shouldn't be a back up or even starting for some of these teams who don't have a solid QB.
