Watching Chicago last night, they scare me.

Buffalo on the road is a tough game as is the MNF game at the dome. Tough place to play.

Those are the 3 that scare me the most.

Indy is winnable at home. Run the ball down their throats. It will resemble yesterday's game.

The rest are gravy.

Chicago's defense will be real scary, but I'm more than confident in BB and company's ability to make Grossman's head spin with different coverages/blitzes. Grossman has shown a lot of talent so far, but he's also young and pretty inexperienced, so I think we have more than a good shot at taking this one from the bears.

In the great words of Jason Whitlock the Ravens are the biggest fraud at 4-0. Their offense is not any better than they were last year. Denver only looked good against us and Seattle without Alexander won't win anything. Don't discount the Steelers, give Big Ben a few games to come back and SD gave that game away with a missed FG and then a botched snap on another. Add in a dumb penalty after a good punt at the end of the game to give the Ravens better field position and you have a road loss. Dallas is good and Indy better get healthy and figure out a way to plug the middle. Cincy will still be there at the end of the year as well. Don't forget about Philly they are the most underrated team in the league. Carolina will be there in the NFC as well IF Steve Smith can get healthy. I'm not sold on New Orleans, yet. They have a brutal schedule over the next six weeks they play, TB (2), Philly, Baltimore,Pitt, Cincy and Atlanta. Then they finish up the season against the NFC east. I think their schedule keeps them out of the playoffs.

IMO the toughest games left on our schedule are:

Minnesota - They play tough at home. They have a good D but the O is struggling.

Indy - Obvious reasons but if they aren't healthy by then they will get killed by our running game.

Chicago - I am glad this one is in Foxboro. This will be a great game to watch. Tough hard nose football at its finest.

Jacksonville - Their defense is better then they played yesterday. This will be a tough road game, especially considering that the Jags will most likely be fighting for a playoff spot.

Honerable Mention:
Buffalo - Tough D and have played well at home
Jets - Will likely continue to improve over the course of the season.
Miami - Because they are Miami, no other reason except for the annual (last year excluded) brain fart that we seem to have against them.

I still stand by my prediction of 14-2!

I think they are all winnable from here on out as long as they play like they did yesterday. The scary thing is too they had room for improvement too. I looked at yesterday's game from day 1 as a loss. They need to improve but they can compete with anyone if they play their game like they did yesterday.


Jets will easier than it was in the Meadowlands. Their D sucks, Manning absolutely carved them up when Dungy decided to take the leash off and stop running the ball on 1st and 2nd downs which btw the Jets had a hard time stopping too. The Jets O will not run like it did against the Pats D as it did against Indy's. Jets are an up and coming team but there is no way the Pats D gives up those freak plays again and they will not fall for a 2nd qtr onside kick like Indy did yesterday.

Bills will play tough at home that I agree with.

Miami will get better as they go along but their OL sucks which will be their demise this year.

I agree, the bills have been a lot better than people expected so far. However by time we play them again we should be playing a lot better than we were the first time we played them!

He maybe young and inexperienced in the form of actually playing. But he has been in the league for 4 years. The guy obviously watched and learned over that time much like a young QB in the old days. He knows how to read defenses and recognize coverages. Don't let the 12 starts fool you.
