I think they a 10-2 team, the best complete team in the AFC and our challenge in the Superbown in FEB.

Basically, the blue games are easy wins.

The red games are their only impressive wins this season, but in both they were down big and gave up a ridiculous amount of yards and points. However, coming back in those games is impressive.

The green games are troubling for the Chargers. Great teams win those games by 10+ points.

In other words, they've only had two impressive wins so far and in both they didn't win convincingly against good teams.

I think they're probably the 4th best team in the NFL, behind Dallas, Chicago, Baltimore. So the hype is pretty well deserved, I guess. They're not the best, but only them and Baltimore really approach Dallas' offensive and defensive balance.

We are seeing eye to eye on this. I counted two good wins. The next 3 games will tell us a bunch about the team.

 

[Hostile]

I think they have the best RB in the game and will be hard to deal with because of him. I have them in the Super Bowl for the AFC.

 

[Dangerous Dave]

They get the Raiders twice, Arizona, San Fran, St Louis, Tennessee, Cleveland & Pittsburgh.

 

[Stash]

Looks like the schedule-makers did them a favor this year after the brutal schedule they had last season.

I still think their passing offense and defense may be a bit suspect, but they're as good as anybody in the AFC in my opinion and could very well be their representative in the Super Bowl.

Have you watched them play? I don't think that GREAT teams win every game by what they are supposed to win by. I'm sure we snuck by some games when we were dominating in the 90's. They are absloutely, in my opinion, the most complete team in the league. Now, the best team does not always win the SB, but Rivers is the real deal, they have the best RB in the league, maybe the best TE, underated receivers, and a good D. I have nightmares of Merriman having to step over Flo on his way to Romo. If they have an easier schedule than us then so be it, but that has a tendency to work itself out. Personally, I think they are REALLY REALLY GOOD.

They have lost one tough game against another one of this year's "elite" teams and lost another game in their division against a historically tough opponent. Both losses were on the road with the KC game being a second of a two game road stretch.

They beat everyone else with three dramatic, come-from-behind wins and the league MVP in the backfield.

This team should not be slept on.

They are the real deal that everyone is hyping them up to be.

Romo vs. Rivers @ Miami [ XLI ]

 

[Verdict]

I think they are the team to beat in the AFC.

No question they are right now. I still wouldn't want to play the Patriots, but at least they should, would get them in SD, and not on that crap field NE plays on.

 

[StanleySpadowski]

The 24-21 score against Buffalo is a bit misleading. Buffalo picked up a last minute TD (which covered BTW) that made it closer than it appeared.

There was also an INT by SD which was fumbled like Kiwi did in our game.

It sure did. I had the Bills getting 7. Lucky to get that. They were up 17-0 I believe and started playing MARTY "KEEP TEAMS IN THE GAME" BALL!

 

[Zman5]

Romo vs. Rivers @ Miami [ XLI ]

Ware vs. Shawn "the Cheater" Merriman.

I agree with this 100%. Should we indeed end up being the NFC contender in Miami come February, we will definately have to bring our A-game to beat them. Like the man stated in the above quote, I too am very concerned about their pass rush vs. our O-line and about LT throwing for a TD against us. Romo will not have the luxury of a slow start against this team but will have to come out hot right from the get go.

If, and that's a big if, Dallas does meet SD in the SB, I think I would bet on Parcells before I'd bet on Martyball.

 

[conner01]

i just want a chance to play them.they deserve the hype, they are a very good team with ayoung qb who will get better in time too.they have a solid defense and the best rb in the nfl.
