Week 8 NFL Thread

That's partly a result of parity. It's too darn hard to predict what teams will be good and what teams will not. Who thought the Chiefs would be 7-0 after going 2-14 last season?

 

Exactly. And who would've thought the Broncos would be thinking about the WILD CARD at this point of the season?

 

I doubt the Broncos are thinking wild card at any point. Best team in football, hands down. They lost one game, on the road against a good team, by 6 points despite giving up three turnovers. They'll be fine. They're not the least bit afraid of the Cinderellas from Kansas City, who they will beat twice by two touchdowns.

 

OK, am I really the only one very intrigued by the Washington-Denver matchup? Griffin suddenly looks like RGIII again, the Redskins hang 45 on Chicago and Denver's defense has been lit up by the last two teams they've faced with an actual quarterback. No guarantees, of course, but this one could be a fun little point-fest on both sides.

 

It looks like every game Denver plays will be a points-fest.

 

Yeah, I think people give the Chiefs about as much of a chance to win the AFC West as people are giving Missouri to win the SEC.

 

Well, the Bucs' defensive coordinator is a lying douchebag.

What an idiot.

 

Idk if you're being sarcastic or not, but to promise all that and not deliver is douchey.

 

Not being sarcastic at all...

After spouting off like that, he should have gone down there with a shitload of free Cokes, passed them out and chatted with the fans for an hour or so... Not the best use of his time, but he was the one who put up the challenge.

 

Sure ... but must beat an awful Tampa team to get over .500 for the first time in years (keep losing openers and slow starts to the season have slaughtered the Panthers).

Have to figure the NFC East isn't likely to get a wild card. Only the Saints are better in the division. Figure both Seahawks and Niners get in from the West.

 

Really good Sally Jenkins piece on what really went down with Peyton Manning's rehab.
