1. It’s the Falcons vs the field in the NFC
After the
Packers beat Seattle and then Atlanta destroyed Green Bay, it looks like the Falcons are the team to beat in the NFC. Atlanta is great on all sides of the ball. On offense, they have
the reining MVP Matt Ryan, great receivers starting with
Julio Jones (every time you try to go
one-on-one with Julio Jones, Matt Ryan makes you pay). And great running backs
starting with Devonta Freeman. They also have a great defense. Aaron Rodgers is maybe the best QB in the league and specializes in avoiding sacks but Atlanta was getting to him all night
long. Atlanta’s secondary was also able to go one-on-one with all of Green Bay’s
receivers. Atlanta is a well-oiled machine and nobody seems to be on their
level in the NFC.
2. AFC>NFC
The AFC,
right now, seems to have five of the top six teams. Atlanta being the NFC team
and then Kansas City, Pittsburg, New England, Oakland and Denver being the
other five.
3. The AFC West is the best division in the NFL
The AFC West could realistically send three teams to the playoffs. Rarely does one division
take both wild card spots – because you play each other twice each and thus knock
each other down. However, the Chiefs, Broncos, and Raiders all look so good they could all make the playoffs despite being in the same division. Their schedules are hard but not too hard. Their out of
conference schedule is the NFC East and the AFC East (Cowboys, Giants, Redskins, Eagles,
Patriots, Dolphins, Bills, Jets). Besides New England, those are look like very
winnable games. And even the Patriots have been losing players left and right this year
to injuries so they may be quite beatable as well. Kansas City already beat
them in week 1.
Overall, at the start of the season it looked like the AFC would be dominated by the Patriots and the NFC was up for
grabs. After two weeks in the NFL, it looks like the complete opposite. The Falcons look to be the
juggernaut in the NFC, and the AFC looks to be up for grabs right now.
The best case scenario for the bulls is that this count plays out. if this is the "worst" case scenario for the bears ... it's really not that bad ... if a top hasn't already been formed, we're close. night rats! may tomorrow bring you green shoots on whichever side of the fence you're on.
