I don't buy the Ravens at all as a SB contender. They barely beat the Cardinals, who suck, and struggled against a rookie QB. Their defense doesn't look quite the same. That's what is being missed about the Ravens.
They're not out gunning teams to wins on a regular basis, its not happening.
And all it takes is an actual real coach. Not jokers on the Cardinals and Dolphins, to put an end to this Jackson experiment once and for all. Like a Bill Belichick. Don't think a master piece like him, with a real elite defense for the first time in ages, can't completely fuck Jackson's shit up.
The Pats defense hasn't looked this good since '07. Maybe beyond that. That's scary for me. Way more than their offense. Give Belichick talent on defense, and an offense led by Brady. They got to be by far and away the top team at the moment.
It's early. Teams I'm taking very serious right now, and this is subject to change. Patriots (duh), Chiefs, Saints (as long as is Brees is healthy), and Cowboys (they look good).
You got to give up to Dak, he's playing like a pro bowl QB. Cowboys look good.
I take nothing out of the Saints losing today. Brees went out, and it deflated the team. Saints are fucked though if Brees is out for an extended time. Every thing feeds off him.
