That's just gross.

Quality 4th from Cinci!

Andrew Dalton coming up clutch. Oh what a time to be alive.

Go stripey kittens.

Falcons with another close game against an NFC East team. Can see why people think they're so great.

Nice comeback win for the Bengals. Brutal way to lose for the Skins.

Man I wish I could have watched that game. Gratz Bengals, maybe you guys have finally turned the corner. Last year's team would have folded for sure.

[Bulltalk]

Great comeback win for the Bengals over my Hawks. My only gripe after what turned out to be a great game is simply this: In their last 3 possessions of regulation time, and their 2 possessions in OT, NOT ONE target to Jimmy Graham. All the Hawks needed was 2 more 1st downs in regulation time, and, again, NOT ONE target to Graham.

Why did the Hawks go out and get this guy? Can someone explain this to me?

Again my only gripe about what turned out to be a great game, and a great win for the Bengals.

Dalton just has too many weapons at his disposal...it's hard not to be successful. I still don't think they're a true contender though.

the Raidazzzzz though

If they are not, who do you think is? They've looked better than anyone to me. The Packers and Cards look good. New England is probably in the mix too, but they've played a cupcake schedule.

[Mamba Mentality]

Bengals have also played a cupcake schedule up to this point...

I think the Pats, Packers, Cards, and Broncos are in the league of their own. I'm hesitant to jump the gun on the Bengals. Call me a hater or whatever, I just don't think Dalton can sustain this play over the course of a full season.

[Mamba Mentality]

Charles Woodson at 39 is probably better than 70% of db's in the league.

[blazza18]

If only Denver had an above average QB.

[Mamba Mentality]

Screen on 4th and 18, when Denver is playing prevent....I'm dumbfounded. Raiders let this one slip.

[High 5]

Hard to believe the Falcons won a game on the back of the run game and defense. Freeman runs harder than anyone in the league. It's unreal.

I don't understand how the Broncos are in a league of their own when their offense sucks. Their defense has been winning them games, but they've gone up against mediocre/bad offensive teams (Ravens, Chiefs, Lions, Vikings, and Raiders). They're not going to do anything in the playoffs with an offense that anemic once they go up against the better teams.

And the difference between the Bengals and the Broncos is that they've blown out some of those weaker teams, while Denver has struggled in pretty much every game...and the Bengals beat a pretty good Seahawks team today (Seahawks are much better than anyone Denver's played so far).

To me, the teams that are winning impressively are the best in the league right now. That would be the Packers, Patriots, Cardinals, and Bengals. Falcons themselves have struggled, despite being 5-0. They've had a hard time beating the NFC East, and none of those teams are all that good.

The Bears are a scrappy bunch, I'll give em that..
