i do remember that FG was not total "gimmie" but neither was it difficult....and kicker totally choked....those are the ones you dont forget about for years.....i kinda feel bad for those individuals.....like the TE for Dallas

in Superbowl 13 against Steelers....dropped super easy pass that hit him in bread-basket......or the FG kicker for Bills against the Giants....veered right and he had made those all year?....sorry gents but it is called...."you have arrived in Choke city"...and real unfortunately the fans are so hurt by the choke we breathe fire and hate
And they do it for a long time.

too soon ive seen 6-0 teams not make the playoffs. have to finish strong.

this list will change in 8 weeks and for good reasons around 12-13th week we will know who the true contender and pretenders are.
Not many though. Out of 41 teams 6-0 under new playoff format, only 2 missed the playoffs. So 95%.

No, Buffalo is overrated and their QB is vastly overrated and will crumple like a lawn chair in the playoffs as per par. It will be Mahomes and the Chiefs.
LOL - dude, if you TRULY believe this then you are clueless. ESPECIALLY after today.

After merely 5 weeks of play, there are only 6 teams remaining in the NFL with 1 or fewer losses:

5-0 Philadelphia Eagles
4-1 Buffalo Bills
4-1 Minnesota Vikings
3-1 Kansas City Chiefs
4-1 Dallas Cowboys
4-1 New York Giants

Of these 6 teams, only 2 of them were expected to be this good, this early in the season - Buffalo and Kansas City. The other 4 are all NFC teams that are playing better than expected. Even Philadelphia, who many expected to rise to the top of the NFC East this season, wasn’t expected to be undefeated 5 games into the season. The catch for the Eagles is that they still haven’t played either of the two teams nipping at their heels in the NFC east.

Next Sunday night will be a good test for both the Eagles and Cowboys. But neither can write off the Giants, who finally have a coach who knows how to put his players in situations where they can win.

The good news for the Cowboys is even if they lose Sunday, their offense is slated to get even better when 4 injured Cowboys offensive players return from injury - QB Dak Prescott, HOF LT Tyron Smith, HOF Olineman Jason Peters, and WR James Washington. If the Cowboys can return to their league leading offensive production from just a season ago, this team might become just as frightening in the NFC and the Bills team is in the AFC. Could a 3rd Super Bowl between the Cowboys and Bills be in the offing?

P.S. And even the Cowboys Defense, as good as it already is, could become even faster with the addition of speedy and talented rookie LB Damone Clark.


With all the Free Agents that they signed, I was expecting them to be the top team before the start of the season.

Buffalo & KC are definitely SB contenders. Question is would you take either of those teams against Philly in a potential SB match-up?

Obviously alot can change.

NFC contenders are tough to pinpoint.

Us & Philly. Maybe Minnesota?

There is always some team that comes out of nowhere and turns it on in December and January.

They say Buckner tried to commit suicide the next day by running in front of a bus, but it went between his legs. Joke probably is not PC these days.
