Originally posted by tomtom232NO doubt the Seahawks played an excellent game, but the Cowboys also played a terrible, listless game completely unsurprising given they thought they actually had won something after beating the NYG's. Impressive O-line and d-line for Seattle. Certainly better coached than Dallas. You know Dallas is poorly coached if they don't get rid of Dez Bryant and Felix Jones and instead promote Dunbar to back up role from practice squad.
I think you guys are being too hard on the cowbosos. Did you watch the games or are you just plucking out stats? Watch the differences in the Hawks from weeks 1 & 2 then look at the differences in the Cowboys from weeks 1 & 2.... Seattles O-line completely manhandled the Cowboys D-line... this wasn't a question of player ability this was superior coaching. ...[text shortened]... s, you could tell they were awed by the tenacious, physical, and overall suffocating defense.

The Packers should give them a test.
If you want to see some serious "D"...look at Houston.
Baltimore is another great defense.

Originally posted by shortcircuitRavens looked tired and winded at the end of Eagles game. They are nowhere near as good as the Texans defense! As far as how Seahawks may perform against Packers I really think they might give the Packers fits if only because Packers have no running game of any merit. Just look at how they stopped Murray.

A running game is Arian Foster and Ben Tate.

Originally posted by shortcircuitUndoubtedly Texans are substantially more well rounded team and present no weaknesses except for QB whereby Matt Schaub may or not fully recovered although he's playing well. I was shocked Broncos are favored even by a meager 1.5 points. For now I see 49'ers are looking even better than Texans, but season too early!

Dallas' running game was smoke and mirrors as evidenced by 2nd game against what proved to be a stouter than expected defense.

from the AFC and either SF or GB going from the NFC.
Of course, it is waaaay too early to get into final predictions, I I believe those are the
four best teams right now.
New Orleans has imploded for the moment, the Giants have sputtered, New England
has sputtered as well.
I am shocked Denver is favored against the Texans. Granted, they have never beaten
Peyton Manning, but Peyton isn't the Peyton of old, and Denver is not clicking on offense.

Originally posted by shortcircuitI see Cardinals as better than the Ravens right now because of their much better defense. Ravens allowed over 500 yards to a turnover happy offense and still lost despite having such gifts wrapped and ready. Certainly not the Ravens of old.

Indeed too early for any kind of prediction. Many of the sputtering teams have excellent coaching and the NYG's showed some life and spunk. Look at how much better Martellus Bennet is playing under Coughlin. He may yet get the thing turned around!
Seattle is looking rather stout on defense and Chargers are fast out of the gate unlike other years.
I picked Texans to beat Denver and their awesome defense should give Manning fits!

Originally posted by shortcircuitDenver's played pretty well against two teams expected to make the playoffs. The Texans have looked great but against two weak teams (though Miami might be better than expected). Denver's always been tough at home. A small spread is to be expected.

Originally posted by no1marauderPerhaps you're right. We'll learn on Sunday. Denver does have a very decent D as well so we'll see, although I think Manning was rattled.
