Early on, I thought it was obvious: Redskins winless, Giants winless, Eagles barely winning. How can any division be worse than the NFC East?

 

The the Eagles started winning and now they are in a tight race with the Cowboys. If the playoffs were today, they would be in it. Could there be a worse division than this one?

 

I also thought earlier the NFC South had only one good tevam, but the Panthers are surprising many fans and would be a wild card team if the playoffs were today. Is it a half good/half bad division too?

 

I used to think the NFC West was half good/half bad. How could the Cardinals be any good this year? But coming into Jacksonville, the Cardinals are 5-4 and considered a playoff contender. Is it as good as the NFC North, which apparently has three good teams?

 

In the AFC, I thought the West was half good/half bad. Now I am not so sure about the Chargers, who are like the Cardinals. Could it actually have three good teams?

 

I can't figure out the East. The Jets are being labeled playoff contenders, but only one game better than the Dolphins. How many of those four teams are actually good?

 

The Norh is weird. We used to think only the Bengals are good. Now the Browns are in playoff talks and the Ravens are not, even though they have the same record and split their series. Could it produce two playoff teams?

 

Now I am thinking the South is the worst because of a report that the Colts "all but clinched" the division title.The Titans are 4-6, so everyone already wrote them off. The Texans have not won a game since Week 2. What division can be worse than ours?

At this point, AFCS is the worst division.


It usually takes about half a season for these things to reveal themselves. September is the great "fooler" month, as they say. It's true. Teams can look like they're going to be really good, or really bad, during the first month. Then, later in the season, they look totally different.


Philly looked like they were gonna be flat awful. The Cardinals a couple years ago were 4-0, I believe, and ended up awful. I remember a couple seasons for the Giants starting out great, and then being bad.

It just takes a while.


I don't think NFCS is near the worst. Atlanta's record is awful. But, they are still a team that is capable of pulling out a win against almost anyone. They're a scary team to have to play,for another team trying for playoffs. Atlanta can definitely be a "trap" or "road bump" game.


AFCE is pretty weak. But, all those teams are at least pretty competitive on a consistent basis.


AFCS sux. It is quickly returning to a "cakewalk" to the playoffs for the Colts,,,, again

Best would be the AFCW I think just because the (in my opinion) top two teams reside there.

Gene's Myth

Best would be the AFCW I think just because the (in my opinion) top two teams reside there.  

 

But is it half great/half bad or two great, one good, and one bad?

I take back what I said about Atlanta. Man, they are flat out terrible right now. I was wrong.


AFCW: 2 really, really good teams

1 pretty good team

1 decent team (Oakland is better than they have been the past few years)


AFCW = best

AFCS = worst
