That Saints defense is something else. And they won't face an actual good team till they face the Lions in December. Prior to that its the Packers, the Bucs, the Patriots, the Texans, the Jaguars, the Colts, the Bears, the Vikings, and finally the Falcons. And even calling the Lions good might be pushing it, depending on how things play out. The Bucs and Falcons aren't as good as their records suggest as they've faced terrible teams. The Packers are overrated. The Vikings are the Vikings and the Colts are the Colts. The Bears, Texans and Patriots unreservedly suck. If the Saints can get past the Lions, then they get to whoop the Panthers again and take down the Giants, another give me game. After that, they face the Rams, before ending it with a return to the Bucs and the Falcons, and those games probably won't matter by the time we get to that point.
Bucs will be the last undefeated team because the NFC South is a meme and the football gods are capricious.
The Packers were literally a basement-tier franchise in the '80s before Atlanta traded him like the retards they are. The only team worse that the '80s Packers were the Patriots before Bill Parcells.
We have two more weeks before really dialing in on how bad a team can really be. With the shortened full-pad practices and shortened preseason, even more variables.
I fucking love competition. It legit is something that keeps me going every day. When I see people who tune/train their bodies professionally to make themselves better at something it gets me hyped. Is it retarded? Probably but I love seeing people push themselves. I'll actively root for the comeback in games I have no weight in the matter.
I wished the Texans were as good as the Astros are right now - is that too much to ask?
Definitely the 49ers. They are the most complete team but injuries are always a concern with their offensive core.
49ners have great momentum and I honestly think they can win it all barring injury or other major fuck ups.
I am hoping the 49ers expose the Cowboys for being a team that beat a shitty Giants team and a jets team that lacked any offense. Would def be the pick right now to stay undefeated. Ravens have a relatively easy schedule for the next few weeks but I don't trust them. Although, Dolphins might be up there too. Their first potential loss comes Week 7 against the Eagles and then Week 9 against the Chiefs.
Chargers play the Vikings, Raiders, and Bears between Weeks 3 and 7 so theres going to be a win in there. The Broncos and Bears also play Week 5 so theres gotta be something there. Texans play the Falcons Week 5 and the Panthers week 7 so that could be an interesting watch. The Cardinals Week 7, 9 and 10 is Seahawks, Browns, and Falcons. Panthers have their shot to get a win against the Seahawks this week and Vikings next week. Then its probably Week 7 against the Texans. Vikings play the Chargers, Panthers, and Bears week 3,4, and 6 so they gotta win one of those.
They play the Jets next and after the Cowboys, its the Saints and Raiders. I see a win coming in at least one of those
New England may have a dogshit offense but if there's a thing I'll count on, it's Belichick destroying a shitty QB. His grudge from being coach for a day or something is also there.
