I don't agree, he's still really young, but has shown flashes this game. I think he'll end up being a solid quarterback.

Shown flashes? His accuracy is erratic, he has no touch, and holds onto the ball far too long.I just don't see what's so special about him...

San Francisco Haynes 1-0. Well done.

Frisco is surprising, especially with the style of offense that is utilizing kap in a more wide ranging manner, imo. That running back is very good as well. Since Reggie bush has arrived on that team, the 49ers have been winning. They started looking forward to the superbowl, ever since his arrival. So far, reggie is 1-0.

Couldn't ask to get the Dan Quinn era off to a better start! Defense was gassed in the second half going up against one of the fastest O's in the game, but absolutely shut them down in the first half. Also, Lol at them covering Julio one on one.

Run defense was spectacular. Held Murray to 9 yards rushing. Huge considering that fact that we were 27th against the run last year.

Think the Falcon defense is closer to what they showed in the 2nd half than the first.

Falcons are probably the best team in that division now. Saints look like they need to enter a rebuild mode, Panthers have injury issues, and the Bucs are just a mess.

Fun fact from Week 1: Buffalo got its hands on 13 passes from Andrew Luck, 11 PDs and 2 INTs. No other team got more than 6 (NO and PHI). Does that say more about the Bills or Luck?

Why are you so low on luck?

Because he's not as infallible and awesome as most would have you believe. He makes way too many bad throws and poor decisions for someone who is lionized as The Next Big Thing. He's a very good QB and I wish my team had him, but he's getting far more accolades than his play merits IMO.

While he does make boneheaded plays sometimes, his positive attributes FAR outweigh those 'sometimes' bad throws.

He does things no other QB can do.

And Buffalo has the best front 4 in the NFL, as well as the BEST roster in the NFL ( minus qb)

For instance. How many QB's can make perfect throws while getting tackled?

Or how about making the tackle himself ( he did it last week in Buffalo too)

Luck is a tough guy, and he's a good QB. Top 10 in the league for sure.

But he's got a lot left to prove if he's going to be crowned the next Tom Brady or Peyton Manning.

I'm not argue with you that Rodgers is better than Luck. Rodgers is the best QB in the NFL.

The Seahawks are 0-2. But any thoughts about the Hawks demise are premature. I still think a 12-4 record is in the realm of possibility when I look at the schedule and take into consideration that there first two games represented the most difficult challenge of all teams in the NFL, playing a tough Rams team on the road, and then the Packers on Lambeau Field. Of course, injuries are always the wild card during an NFL season.

--The Hawks have 8 out of their next 14 games at home where they rarely lose
--In terms of depth, we have the strongest front 7 in the game this year
--Ironically, our defensive backfield is our weakness at present on D
--Russell Wilson is a franchise QB who has a particular collective skill-set that no other QB in the game possesses
--Our receiving corp is much improved over last year (Jimmy Graham, Tyler Locket)
--We have dramatically shored up our weakest element from last year, out kickoff and punt return game
--Lynch still seems to "have it", and we've added the savvy vet Jackson to the backfield
--Our offensive line is BY FAR the Hawks weakest link, but we at least have raw potential there and the best OL coach in the game

As a Hawk fan, I fear GB, Arizona, the Rams, Cowboys, and possibly Atlanta the most, GB at the top of the list because of Rodgers, of course.

Well said. People forget we started slow last year. 3-3 start. The Patriots looked like garbage after 4 games and we all know what happened.
