Default The suprise teams so far??

I was getting pretty bored with the 'Pats Suck' threads so I thought id ask about the other 31 teams instead. Am here in England, so mostly all I have to go on is teams records (that and crappy Sky Sports analysis- Dolphins the Superbowl darkhorse!).
Who has suprised you so far? Good and bad? From what I've seen the Seahawks look unbeatable at home, not sure about away at the moment though. But I think the Vikings have been a big suprise so far, almost going
3-0. A bit annoying seen as I had that as a certain W for the Pats a couple of weeks ago.
And i reckon the Bucs have to be the suprise crap team thus far. 0-3 ouch! Now Pats pessimists, if you think we're in trouble 2-1 losing to the Broncos, then just thank god youre not from Tampa Bay. Im sure they'd gladly swap places.
Who has impressed / disappointed you so far?

The Saints are 3-0. That's pretty surprising, as are the 1-2 Panthers and the 3-0 Ravens.

My fantasy team is 2-1. That's a miracle.

Saints at 3 and 0.
Vikes at 2 and 1.
Panthers at 1 and 2.

Those are the most suprising teams to me.

Saints easily take the cake for the Most Surprising Team thus far. 3-0 for the first time in their history, but then again, I guess I shouldn't be too surprised.. they do have Reggie Bush.

For the bad team, it would have to be Panthers. They were my NFC pick to go to the Superbowl considering the talents they have... but it hasn't worked out for them yet. Steve Smith is truly a one man show and without him the Panthers won't make it very far..

Saints for sure. I'm so happy Saban didn't go after Brees. It's still early though.

I haven't been HUGEly surprised by the Saints, I thought they looked quite respectable at times last season despite all the upheaval they had to deal with, and then they replaced Brooks with Brees. Then again, the performance last night, particularly on defense was surprising.

The Patriots sure surprised me on Sunday night, does that count?

Anyway, whereabouts in Sheffield are you, Owl? I lived there for a bit, still miss it. Watched Superbowl 38 there come to think of it.

I wasn't surprised that the Saints won last night, but I was surprised at the manner in which they won. They looked awesome. It was really inspiring to see.

I hope they keep it up. As for surprises in the "worse than thought" category, I'll go with Carolina as well, although I will note that they are another team that sometimes starts slowly.

yeah, I kind of started this thread without checking last nights scores first. Totally forgot about the Saints, oops! Nevermind. will be interesting to see how long they can keep it going.
OldEngland- am from South Sheffield, little village called Dronfield. Probably never heard of it. But i got a load of mates near Hillsborough so I usually watch Wednesday lose and then spend most of my time up that area. Where are you from? Whered you watch the SB? Am just wondering what bars show NFL for future reference. Im sure i could rope some of my mates to get into NFL if beer was also supplied.
