Perhaps the defending Super Bowl Champion Steelers will join the ranks of those with a 2-6 mark at the halfway point, if the Broncos prevail.

Seems there will be about seven teams with 2 or less wins, and maybe about eleven clubs with 5 or more victories.

After tonight's game, either the Pats or the Colts will be generally accepted as the best team, for the first half of the season at least.
Who would be the choice for the poorest team at the halfway point ???

Though the Bucs and Raiders have scored the fewest points, I think I would have to pick the Titans, however very debateable.

    Bucs just plain gave up today. At home against a conf. foe and you just suck, there is no excuse for that. I think the Saints and Falcons
    are the best teams in the NFC so far.

    From superbowl champs to likely 2-6 chumps, boy does Roethlisberger and that offense suck.

    Remember the Steelers weren't all that "great" last season. They got hot at just the right time and extended it for awhile and won the Super Bowl. Admittedly I didn't think they'd be this bad, but them not making the playoffs this season, especially with Bettis retiring, shouldn't be a big surprise.

    As for the Bucs - we all knew they stunk, except for a few their delusional fans.

    We beat you. So you suck and hence have given up the right to say anything about the Bucs. maybe one year you will beat us..probably
    not. If you want to talk smack about another team, you better beat them first!

    Thanks

    The Falcons???
  • ctsoxfanctsoxfan Posts: 6,246 ✭✭
    I agree - the Falcons???

    The Bears are still the best team in the NFC, despite losing today to the terrible Dolphins. I'll give you the Saints, but the Falcons are a step below either of these two teams.

    The Bears have played a very weak sked thus far. We will see how good they are very soon.

    Funny how fast the falcons bandwagon emptied...when everyone and their sister were screaming 'Vick's finally got it! He's developed into a QB!!!'

    The Bucs were close at the half, but joe's right, they simply folded in the second.

    The Saints look to be the real deal. Giants squeaking by a terrible texans team should give their fans worries...and eagle fans talking smack about a team they lost too? Boy, some things will never change.

    It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out 5-3 is a helluva lot better than 2-6...

    Why don't you answer the question about your own team before spouting off about another?

    Yes the Giants did sqeak by the Texans, although I have to tout that I predicted the score(check the 5000th post contest by QualityCards on the Memorabilia forum), fact is the Giants had there top reciever, one of the leagues best pass rushers, one of the leagues best LBs, and there top cornerback out for the game. Strahan also left in the 2nd quarter. Still, they won. You don't give the Texans enough credit either, they have one of the top QB-WR tandems in the league and have suprised(in competitiveness) more than a few opponents(same can be said for the Titans). TRUTH is, the Giants are 6-2. 5 straight wins. Have yet to lose a divisional game. Next week going against Chicago, I'm calling for the Giants to upset. Simply put, since the Arizona game the Bears have shown that Grossman is not yet ready to step up and be the star that he has the potential to become. Most of the injured Giants should be back, and the Bears should be worried about Grossmans health after next weeks game.

    BTW-I can talk chit, the Giants beat the Bucs/Falcons/Eagles/Cowboys.

    4 - 4 is also better than 2 - 6 according to Einstein's Theory of Relativity.

    According to the Stalin/Axtell Theory: 2 - 6 is the best record in the league. image

    I think the Eagles will be right there at the end in the NFC in, what I think, is a VERY mediocre conference. They're one of few NFC teams that can probably hang somewhat with an AFC team.

    I thought this thread was about 2-6 teams image

    Yes, the Falcons lost, a feat they've accomplished half as much as the defending champs...

    Doubtful, since the Giants have a 2 game overall lead in the division, and more importantly are 3-0 in division play. I don't think a wild card will come out of the East as well.


    Worst team so far, have to go with the Bucs.

    Bottom line Axtell - everything you root for loses. If you rooted for the sun to shine there would suddenly be an solar eclipse. image

    So what does that say about the likes of YOU, losing to the BUCS so many times in a row?

    Hmm, perhaps you're a LOSER?

    Get lost, chump.
