Contenders/Pretenders

I like KC far more. I just cant get behind Jake Locker.

Both have solid olines, good D's, nice running games, good receivers, average QB's. I like Smith better than Locker but I think Locker can game manage with the pieces around him.

Tonight should be interesting. With a loss here, everyone should be labeling them as pretenders if they haven't already.

Because Falcons > Cowboys overall. Ryan and Romo are close, but the Falcons are more championship-caliber.

I think I have to disagree with you here. Cowboys currently have the healthier better running backs. Receivers and tight ends are a wash. Cowboys are currently playing much better up front and have the superior defense.

Not to mention, they also have a superior W/L record at the moment.

So MIA is a pretender but NYJ isn't?

Correct. Watch and see. Jets are a bit better than anyone thought. They are going to be a pesky out. Dolphins are still vastly overrated and sure to flame out. I'm not a buyer on them at all.

Well I don't think w/l tells everything especially early on, but this is true.
