The Best Team In The NFL Is ?

[BillsImpossible]

Denver by Peyton Manning's default?

Are the Broncos the best team, or do they only have the best quarterback?

Best team consists of offense, defense, and special teams.

The Colts have the NFL's #1 ranked offense and are ranked 3rd in overall defense.

NFC teams look weaker than the AFC teams.

Seattle looks complacent and vulnerable.

Colts? Broncos? Patriots? Other?

Manning vs. Orton in the AFC Championship Game in Denver?

If you ever listen to Skip Bayless THE BEST team has got to be DALLAS!

I say **** Skip Bayless.

After the Bills won last week, I turned on the NFL Network.

Every 10 minutes they would recap the Dallas vs. Giants game with 5 minutes worth of highlights and continually replayed Tony Romo's post game comments.

I wanted to throw my remote control at the television.

2014 Special Teams Ratings

Re: The Best Team In The NFL Is ?

Thanks, BillsImpossible. NFL ratings suck. Go to footballoutsiders. Much more informative and realistic.
Denver is there ranked first in offense and second in defense.

By the way, we are third in defense and fourth in special teams. And 29th in offense.
Seems about right to me. Defense is that good because it does not penalize them because they often have to defend a short field due to offensive turnovers.

Re: The Best Team In The NFL Is ?

I think San Diego is the best team...barring injuries.

Re: The Best Team In The NFL Is ?

Hard to argue against Denver and Dallas right now, but at the end it depends on who gets hot and catches a couple of breaks. Seattle is obviously suffering a little bit from the hangover still, but as the season moves on and things get more serious they could get their **** together, and you can never count out the New England Referees as long as Brady is there.

Man, they look good, don't they. Tonight will tell us how good they really are, IMO. I think the winner of tonight's game is the best team in the AFC. NFC is Dallas right now.

I think that you're going to see our defensive rankings plummet between now and the end of the season. I do not understand how our defense can be ranked so high. The passing D isn't much different than last season and our rushing D did not play well against the only good and proven RB that we've played in a healthy state. We've played a nothing list of RBs. I hope that we shut them down, they all suck pretty much. McKinnon isn't even good but no one seems to be concerned that our defense allowed Bridgewater his only TD of the season and that McKinnon and the rest of the Vikes nothing RBs lit us up for 158 yards on 5.4 ypc. That should be considered significant.

It's great that we stopped Donald Brown, like most other teams do and have done for years, or Damien Williams and Lamar Miller, same there, or George Winn whom we'd never heard of, or Alfred Blue filling in for an injured Foster, but those are hardly milestone efforts, they're expected. Blue didn't play any better vs. Pittsburgh or Dallas. Brown had his best game of the season against us. So did Winn. So did Damien Williams. They're all nothing RBs. To the extent that most of them have played they've been shut down by just about every team.

To sum up, the list of RBs we've faced sucks. We can argue that we stopped Ridley and Vereen, but if that's true apparently it played right into NE's hands because Brady put up his best game since playing the Steelers a year ago. Meanwhile Cutler lit us up passing, Tannehill posted a banner 2nd half, Fitzpatrick did more than he should have been allowed to do. Bridgewater crossed a milestone. Rivers had a great game against us. Even Stafford played OK considering that he had only one recognizeable receiver on the field, who just happened to post a career day.

I'm sorry, if this isn't concerning then those looking at it don't know much about football.

This is going to come back on us and the wise people are going to see why and understand it, the rest are going to go through their usual rituals.

Schwartz had better tighten up this pass D or we'll struggle to win any more games. All of the remaining teams we face are going to have better passing games than Detroit had fielded for that game and Minnesota's. Miami's probably the worst we'll play and if Tannehill learned from his second half the first time that may not go well.

We can look at sacks and INTs all we want to, but this defense is average or well below average in every other significant defensive passing category.

I predict lots of pissing and moaning here throughout the month of November. In December, unless something changes drastically, teams like Denver, Green Bay, and NE are going to put up 40 points on us. Scoring 20 isn't going to work.

Re: The Best Team In The NFL Is ?

Bridgewater crossed a milestone?

How so? 15 of 26 for 157 yards, 1 TD and 2 INTs (and 5 sacks) is crossing a milestone?

Please explain.

What you don't understand is games are won & lost because of points scored for & against.

Yards have NO MEANING in wins & loses. A week ago, the Jets put up 100 more yards than the Patriots* but lost the game.

The Patriots put up 2 more points than the Jets did & that is all that matters.

And how many years has Dallas looked GREAT in September & October only to fall apart in November & December?
