With only 1/4 of the season completed what are your biggest shockers good and bad? For me

Biggest losers: San Diego going from 14-2 to playing this poorly given the talent on this team I'm shocked.

Biggest Winner: Tampa Bay, I did not think this team would be sitting at the top

Eh-I predicted SD would implode this year with Norv driving the bus.

I agree about Tampa-like last year, I thought Garcia was washed up, but he's really upgraded that entire team all around. Even with all their injuries, it wouldn't surprise me if they make noise in the playoffs.

Which team is surprisingly bad in your mind?

Biggest Loser: How inept the Saints offense has looked so far.

Biggest Winner: Cowboys! Come on, no one expected Romo to bounce back like this. They showed the snapped fumble a billion times, the media would have loved it if he sucked this season so they could show it another billion times.

I was not suprised about the Cowboys and as far as the snap last season I really never understood the hoopla over that because it had nothing to do with playing the QB position. Granted the Cowboys are playing better than I thought they would but I felt we would be a good team this year.

My preseason pick for over rated team was the saints and underrated team was the packers.. so I am not surprised by either of them at this point.. so the biggest surprise to me is SD, I thought they might be like the Cowboys under Barry.. just to talented for a coach to screw them up.. but I guess Norv is just that bad.

Tampa is a team that is better than I thought they would be.. but they are dropping like flies down there so I think they will end up about where I thought they would.. but Garcia is really playing strong right now.

Let's not forget about Cleveland as a winner. Very unfortunate for Cowboy fans. Derek Anderson?! Someone forgot to mention his name when they hype was around Brady Quinn.

The entire NFC south is the biggest suprise by far; Tampa bay of all teams is on top, while NO is winless and the falcons are terrible. Not to mention the panthers who have officially had their superbowl window closed on them. Put at fork into them.

After watching hard knocks this year I thought KC wouldn't win a game.

Also how the Packers are 4-0 is beyond me...

Saints being down and Buccaneers being up.

I thought San Diego would have some troubles, but I was thinking 10-6 trouble, not 1-3 trouble. Makes Wade look pretty dang good.

Thought the Saints offense would be gaining a head of steam, and their defense getting incrementally better. Oops. I certainly thought that Garcia wasn't going to be sparkplug he's been. You can kinda accept that from Favre, though I thought he was washed up as well, but Garcia??

Biggest losers: Saints. Unbelievable how good they were last year and now they are winless, very disappointing season for them thus far.

Biggest Winner: Noway would have I thought Favre would rejuvenate his career and packers start out with 4-0 record.

SD isn't all that surprising really. I never thought they were as loaded with talent as everyone else did. Sure they got a few great ones there, but a lot of holes too. Marty's teams, especially in KC, always have a way of overachieving. That's why I never thought of him as choking in the playoffs. I always thought they were just playing against teams that were just as good, if not better, and even if you overachieve, a good or better team can beat you.

Really nothing so far has been extremely shocking. TB and STL are probably the most surprising, but not really. I still don't think TB is all that great, and they'll most likely be 3-2 this week which is nothing to get all worked up about.
