A plus- Cream of the crop
Green Bay Packers: Its officially time for to start the undefeated talk. Can they do it? I'm not sure but Aaron Rodgers is playing on a level that few if any have ever seen.
A- Legit contenders
Baltimore Ravens: They've had a few hiccups but Flacco has been very impressive over the last two weeks. He may be finally over the hump.
Pittsburgh Steelers: Though they've shown signs of aging, the Steelers will still be a tough out come January.
B Plus- Playoff bound with flaws
Patriots- If Tom Brady has the ball in his hands at the end of the game, odds are the Pats. If he doesn't.....(see Sunday)
49ers- The niners are legit. The question is how legit? They play a physical style that relies on getting ahead early. If they get behind can Alex Smith carry them to victory.
Saints- At home the Saints are hard to beat, on the road they are average at best. They still have a suspect running game and defense. Brees' brilliance might not be enough.
Giants They have a tendency to play to the level of their competition, they also have a tendency to start fast and fade down the stretch. Eli has looked phenomenal can he keep it up?
B- Wild card contenders who could make a deep run in the playoffs
Eagles- The Eagles are finally hitting their stride, honestly what did we expect from the dream team? They underwent a huge facelift during the off season and they had a short off season to jell. They've learned on the job and may be the most dangerous team in the league. Look out.
Falcons - The Falcons offense has been largely disappointing , mostly due to offensive line issues. It remains to be scene if the dirty birds can make a serious run at the title, but they'll be around come playoff time.
Lions America's Sweethearts have gone Lindsey Lohan.The leagues dirtiest team was every ones preseason dark horse and they didn't disappoint. Their lack of a running game and ability to stop the run will be their undoing.
Jets- While people predicted their demise, the Jets did what they always do, peak late. The Jets have been to the last two conference finals, and there's no reason to think they won't be at a third.
Bills: Very few people saw this season coming for the Bills. However things are about to get extremely difficult for the Bills schedule wise. Getting in the playoffs will be tough.
Texans: Surprisingly the Texans have weathered the losses of Mario Williams and Andre Johnson relatively well. Unless they collapse they will win the division and gain a playoff berth.
B minus- Don't sleep on them
Bucs- The Bucs are young and inconsistent(which go hand and hand) Freeman has seemingly regressed but the Bucs are in every game and still shines in the 4th quarter.
Bengals- If the Bengals go 6-2 in the forest will anyone care? Answer? No. The Bengals have a a great defense and the pass connection of the future in Dalton and AJ Green.
Bears- The Bears were a quarter away from the Super Bowl. The Bears are always solid. If others trip up they will prove that slow and steady wins the race.
C Plus
Cowboys- America's team is as inconsistent as they come, but they can play with anyone.
Chargers- Speaking of inconsistent its time to start calling the Chargers Dallas West.
C- Mediocre
Raiders- Hue Jackson called the Carson Palmer trade the greatest ever. Palmer's thrown 6 picks in 6 quarters.
Chiefs: The Chiefs started the season by being out scored 89-10 in their first two games, the Chiefs bounced back winning four games in a row, only to be humiliated by the winless Dolphins last Sunday.
C Minus Average on a good day
Broncos- Tebow wins em ugly, but he still wins em. (some of em anyway)
Browns-A truly mediorce team, but for this franchise Mediocre is an upgrade.
D
Redskins- They started out well and then they remembered they were the Redskins.
Carolina- The most exciting 2-6 teams in history, Cam Newton is electric, the Panthers defense is not.
Jaguars- When you cut your starting Qb the Friday before the season starts you can't expect much.
Vikings- They are showing life with Christian Ponder under center.
Cardinals- Kevin Kolb is not good.
Seahawks-Not good enough(bad enough?) to Suck for Luck so they settle for just sucking.
F Sucking for Luck
Colts- When you lose your Head Coach and Starting QB in the same season you're going to struggle.(I didn't mistype that)
Rams- They shouldn't be this bad. Injuries have killed them
Dolphins They proved that they had some fight in them over the last two weeks but they are awful.
