NFL 2016 - <whatever Tony is doing>

Real talk: I honestly don't know if anyone is better than the Vikings in the NFC right now (I'm still hesitant on the Eagles and Falcons' defenses).

This about sums up the Steelers and Chiefs game:

Put me down in this category too. If they had AP healthy, I'm not sure it's close. They way they're using Bradford is pretty much perfect. He's not having to do too much, and he's making solid throws when needed. When the Vikings can put up 100 yards rushing like they did tonight coupled with their defense to take the pressure off Bradford...they're pretty scary. Cream of the NFC crop right now, although Eagles could be right there if Wentz keeps proving himself.

Also, despite the Giants loss, don't look now...but NFC Beast returns? Only division with every team .500 or better, and best combined winning % of all the divisions.

Eagles will handle Vikes in a few weeks.

Bye Teddy, good luck on the Browns

Busy guy... The Dallas Cowboys employ a man whose job is to make problems go away

A fixer? Chances of every team have a guy like that is 100%.

if by handle, you mean take it in the poop chute, then yes they will handle the vikes in a few weeks.

I kind of like that Zimmer's defensive mindset has stayed with him as Head Coach. Too many times you see a Coordinator not able to make that adjustment to include Offense in what he does (or Defense if they were an OC) and keep their strength front and center, but they've become a monster defensive team. Coupled with Norv, who is one of those "should always be a coordinator" types and can run the shit out of an offense, they're just in a good situation from a coaching standpoint. 4-0 is nothing to sniff at.

We will see but I think we are an overall better team and we know Sam well. Can't wait to see it. Huge test for Wentz.

I mean, they've just been beating up on teams like the Browns, Niners, and Saints. Otherwise it's NFC East teams beating each other, and a couple Steelers games.

Can just pencil in the Eagles for 19-0 this year, and 380-0 over the next 20. Wentz will end his 20 year career undefeated.

that's right! I mean, can you say Vikes are about to get an easy win vrs my Eagles?

Eli threw less than 3 picks. I'm impressed.

Between injuries, shitty teams and Chip Kelly (who i loved at Oregon) managing the eagles into the ground last year, it's hard to know what Bradford's NFL potential really is. The ceiling looks pretty high this season on a team with no superstar WR or non-injured RB. Is Bradford a top tier QB? No, but is he good enough to manage a team with a good defense and running game into a winning season? Definitely. No one would ever think that Alex Smith is great, but king checkdown has thrived in Kansas City, Bradford looks like he might be able to thrive in Minnesota.
