Ponder's going to get benched if he doesn't have a good game against this Browns team. The defense should have a field day.

Just win it this week.

They should put the whole Browns team on the bench and save themselves and the fan the trouble.

LOL at getting a mid-to-late 1st round pick for a 3rd overall pick from 2012. I don't care what your team's philosophy is,that's awful value for a guy who has performed up to expectations so far.

No way Cutty stays past this year, although starting 3-0 is nice he hasn't shown any better decision-making skills and I'm starting to think he's uncoachable. Bears D isn't missing a beat either, crushing offensives like nobody's biz although the second half of the Pitt game was embarassing.

cutler is stayin dude they have no alternative and have a superbowl caliber team around him

falcons lost a game they shoulda won. already a ton of serious injuries and just mental mistakes and poor clock management. not worried about the playoffs but a big game this week sunday night vs the pats

Denver looks unbeatable.

~~butthead aka 216~~ · 09-24-2013, 12:17 AM

yea they really do. i realize tonight was vs oakland but that was just surgical on offense. peyton completed at least 15 passes in a row at one point. they just look unbeatable.

and honestly i know its easy to get caught up in the moment, but looking at their schedule, its actually realistic for them to go undefeated. at max they lose 2 games. they play @ new england and kansas city in back to back weeks later in the season. other than that i see no resistance in a weak afc to stop them. they are truly amazing to watch. peyton is a god

They remind me of the '07 Patriots a lot in that they have unstoppable offense and their defense is still an elite unit. Teams like that are just always seem to win at least 14 games. Denver's offense is exceptional though, I could definitely see them running the table.

Chicago (3-0) @ Detroit (2-1) this week. Should be a good match-up for a first place title, but I fear Cutler may be getting beat up again.

Thom Yorke · 09-24-2013, 09:37 AM

Denver has a joke of a schedule and it continues to be that way for basically the entire season. I could see something similar to last year where they crash in the playoffs when facing some real competition. Really, their biggest test besides Houston late in the year is a couple games against a team that may be the biggest fluke of the year in Kansas City.

Seattle on the other hand has already dominated a game against an elite team. They clearly have the best and most physical defense in the league, and their offense is very efficient in both the running and passing game. They're also getting Harvin back mid-season, which adds a whole new dynamic to the offense. To me, they're the best and most complete team in the league.
