Just a few things we've learned in the past few days. The Patriots are still the Patriots, it's just going to take a little time for the rookie receivers to adjust, and with Gronk coming back in the next game or so they're only going to get deadlier. Geno Smith and EJ Manuel both look pretty good, something I honestly didn't expect at all but for now they've impressed me. The 49ers might not be as deadly as we all thought. No doubt they're still one of the best teams in the NFL but Kaepernick isn't looking as flawless as he was last year and they're having some trouble running the ball. The Jets have already have two wins, which was basically what I expected them to total all year. Their defense still looks fairly strong and, again, Geno Smith's looked good considering the hand he's been dealt in New York. The Packers defense is still pretty bad, but their offense has struggled at points too - something no one really expected to happen. Their quarterback's an absolute stud and their receivers are great, but they might have the worst o-line in the league. Chicago looks like the top dogs in the NFC North for now. Offense has looked great, there's been lot of balance between the running and passing attacks. More importantly though the veterans on defense have kept the old style of play very much alive. Turnovers every game, bend don't break, classic Bears football.
Oh, and the Giants fucking blow, absolutely terrible, basically the story of the NFC East's life. Tons of hype for every team because ESPN loves the East coast and the fucking Cowboys, pretty much looking like 9-7 seasons across the board with one bottom feeder, probably Washington this year. Offense isn't running as smooth as it did last year, defense might be the worst in the league. I'm not saying they won't figure it out but by the time they do I think it'll be too late for this season. Philly's defense is absolute trash too, offense looks pretty good but they're still turning the ball over. Pittsburgh looked better (still not great), just doesn't seem like its their year. Carolina's defense ain't nothin' to fuck with. With Kuechly in the middle and Beason right there with him this team's gonna be solid on that side of the ball for awhile. Andrew Luck and Trent Richardson looks like Peyton Manning/Edgerrin James 2.0. Indy's made it very clear that they're building something for the long haul and they look good. Ravens still got some bark to their bite, and I still despise Joe Flacco. The Dolphins feel like a fluke, and don't worry the Falcons will pick it up, no reason to panic. Two tough losses on the road for ATL, they'll get back after it next week. The Saints are back to old form with Sean Payton back behind the steering wheel, Seattle's dominant, Andy Reid looks like the Kool-Aid man down in Kansas City, and the Rams are still missing pieces.
All I got.
