Guest Vitamin X Report post Posted October 12, 2004 AFC South and NFC East look to be the toughest. New England is just dismantling the normally tough AFC East now, and the Dolphins have become everyone's whipping boy. So what's the toughest? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanadianChris 0 Report post Posted October 12, 2004 Definitely the AFC South, with Indianapolis being a top-3 team and Jacksonville and Tennessee being able to beat anyone on any day. Even the Texans have been looking good lately. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
USC Wuz Robbed! 0 Report post Posted October 12, 2004 I think the NFC East. Dallas, Philly and New York are playing well (well maybe not Dallas) and they have traditionally been a pretty tough division (even though Philly has dominated it the last few years).

the pinjockey 0 Report post Posted October 12, 2004 I went AFC South. At this point, to me it goes Indy = Philly Jacksonville = New York Tennessee > Dallas Houston >>> Washington The tops of each division are even, but the bottom halves are a clear edge to the AFC South.

Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted October 12, 2004 I maintain that the NFC North, while no team is a standout killer, they all tend to kick the crap out of one another, leading to a bad playoff situation. That makes it tough to play in, I'd imagine, but it's definitely not the best division. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Vitamin X Report post Posted October 12, 2004 Agent's right. They don't call it the black and blue division for nothing. Witness the Packer-Viking history. Even though they've played two games a year against each other for all of Minnesota's existence, the overall series has managed to still remain tied. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
starvenger 0 Report post Posted October 12, 2004 I voted NFC West, because with two teams rebuilding, the wacky Mike Martz coaching another, and Seattle - actually, they haven't been bad so far - would YOU want to play for one of those teams? You're on a shitty team in a shitty division. THAT'S gotta be tough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kahran Ramsus 0 Report post Posted October 13, 2004 AFC West Denver, KC & Oakland are typically contenders, and even the Chargers aren't doing that bad with big victories over two AFC South teams (Titans & Jags) in the past two weeks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chargers > Arizona Buffalo = Buffalo Miami = Miami Indianapolis > Cincy It's a near same strength of schedule. Just remember though, the last time the Pats lost in Foxboro was to a healthy Pennington. I know last year he was healthy (when the Jets lost in Giant Stadium, although it was a close game) last year, but I like my chances. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cartman 0 Report post Posted October 13, 2004 The Chargers are terrible. Stack up on LT and the game is over. Indy is like 32423643465 times better than Cincy as well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Cerebus Report post Posted October 13, 2004 To defend Cartman, our first four games were a sinch (with the exception of Indianpolis). But look at our next 4: Seattle NY Jets at Pittsburgh at St. Louis That's not an easy schedule any way you look at it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cartman 0 Report post Posted October 13, 2004 I'm not sold on the Jets or the Steelers as being threats to the Pats just yet. Call me crazy. I think this coaching staff can do some cute things to mess with Big ben, and until the Jets actually beat a real team I won't be impressed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hektik 0 Report post Posted October 13, 2004 The Chargers are terrible. Stack up on LT and the game is over. You say that as if teams have not tried that. The Chargers have scored 72 points in the last two games. It was the improved play of Drew Brees and the emergence of TE Antonio Gates, that were the reason for San Diego's success. LT didn't even play in the second half against the Jags. Also take note that Jacksonville's defense had not allowed a RB to gain 100 yard rushing against them in 17 games. The Chargers Running back gained 103 against them, but it wasn't LaDanian Tomlinson, it was his back up Jesse Chatman. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
