Its certainly shaping up to be an interesting season. The usual suspects of the Packers, Pats and Bronco's leading from the front, but good to see the Bengals getting better and better each season.

Outside of those it will be good to see how some of the other divisions workout. The NFC west with the Seahawks 2-4 looks wide open, as does some of the other divisions.

The Playoffs could have a fresh new look this year.
I'm not quite sure how the Broncos are up there.

Did you hear the stat that special teams and defense has more points than the offence?! Manning also has more INT's than TD's so far. The above is not the best combo to win things.

Packers not doing themselves many favors, but a win's a win. Thanks Chargers, for having a QB that's oblivious to the fact your TE was wide open hehe

Bengals are doing great, nice to see. I'll be at the Steelers game too. You should try and bag some tickets when the Broncos are in town Matt - can see that being a great one this year. I can't see them not making the Playoffs, but AFC is gonna be tough this year, Patriots, Broncos, Bengals, Steelers all looking good so far.

I'm hoping the Packers can stay reasonably healthy and keep the wins rolling in, our schedule isn't too bad this year - Broncos and Panthers next - both could be troublesome, but after that I'm pretty confident so long as we don't get plagued with injuries. Definitely some stuff to work on after today's game though.

Enjoying the Pats vs Colts game so far.
An ugly game but at least it's a W. The bye comes at just the right time - there's barely anyone left on O that's healthy. Nelson out, Adams injured, Cobb not himself with a sore shoulder; Lacy sore ankle, Quarless injured, Montgomery goes down last night. Really need them back before the visit to Denver.

I did read that Manning wasn't having a great season but didn't see that stat before. Must still be playing well if they can go 6-0, but checking the teams they have played you can see how they have got results.

Broncos winning despite Manning. Some of these unbeaten teams are flattering to deceive. I felt that about Atlanta and they took a hiding on Thu. I believe the same of Cinci, Carolina and the Broncos. I think all 3 will fade as the season goes on.

Does anyone know if the NFL Game Pass drops in price part way through the season?

Well, we'll see - sneering comment from a Cheatriots fan - there's a surprise.

And just in case anyone has the slightest doubt about what a collective bunch of dishonest slime-balls the New England Patriots franchise is, read this...

The Bengals have had these moment of being really good before and faded, but this time I think they have some real potential there, good players all over.
As on all good teams, where the talent is slightly lacking, the overall success gives them the confidence to play above themselves. No one want to play Cincinati.

'My' Jets are still hovering near to good, they have the bits and pieces, I think just need that really big win to get a little real confidence. Sunday is obviously huge. Hope Buster is not out with concussion.

You are what your record says you are
Panthers beat the Seahawks at CLink, Broncos D is the one of the best (making up for Manning's Ints) and Bengals have one of the most complete teams in the league. Yes, Atlanta were 5-0 on a weak division, but Ryan and Jones are a brilliant pairing. The unbeaten teams aren't there due to luck, it's because they're good.
