1. Cincinnatti
1. NY Jets
3. Jacksonville
4. Kansas City
5. Denver
Remainings schedules
Cincinatti: Oakland, @Indianapolis, @Denver, Pittsburgh
Jets: Buffalo, @Minnesota, @Miami, Oakland
Jacksonville: Indianapolis, @Tennessee, New England, @Kansas City
Kansas City: Baltimore, @San Diego, @Oakland, Jacksonville
Denver: @San Diego, @Arizona, San Francisco, Cincinatti
So, looking at that mess...which two teams get in?
I have no idea. I'd say Denver and the Jets have the easiest schedules, but none of them are real easy.
Crazy last 4 weeks!

Jax has by far the toughest looking sked left
KC has to win both home game and then beat Oakland on the road....doable.
Denver looks to be in tough IMO...not because of anything but starting a rookie QB at this point in the year, and there is no way Shanahan goes back to Plummer unless Cutler gets hurt. The Wilson loss could be monumental.
Cincy has a tough road ahead as well, but their D has all of a sudden started playing like they are the 85 Bears. That continues and they will go 3-1 at worst and get in.
The Jets? Easiest sked left among all of em...so they will find a way to gas their chances as always.

Frankly and it's amazing and yes I'm biased but I haven't seen a QB look better this year than Romo does with the Cowboys. I'm flabbergasted watching the guy and realizing that he is a out there performing game after game like a 10 year veteran. Man just cool under pressure or what? Last minute in a tight, tight game and he rolls out from pressure and hits the tight end right on the numbers to set up the win. Sure the Cowboys have a lot of targets but the guy just sets up and nails passes with such accuracy.
Cowboys defense is very good as well --Not great but good enough to keep them in the game. Next is a home game against the Saints and that should be a fun game to watch.

Yes I think you are biased  , Romo has been good, but watch a game QB'd by Brady, Manning, Brees, or even Phillip Rivers.

Next weeks Cowboys and Saints game should be a good one. Gotta love the flex schedule as I highly doubt they would have pegged this as a prime time game before the season. Next week it should be the best match up of the week featuring two exciting teams.

I did in fact watch two games involving Manning's and both were Cowboy's victories.

I wish you were the GM for the jets. Eli over Romo.
No way Romo is above and beyond eli.
Romo finds ways to win, unlike Eli. Eli finds ways to lose.

Can't imagine why you would be so high on Eli -- woefully inconsistent. Payton of course has a long track record of regular season success. Of course if Romo leads the Cowboys to a Super Bowl he will have a leg up on him as well.

Should be great, lots of storylines and hype to be had. Sean Payton going back to Dallas, where he coached the "hall of famer" Tony Romo  . Also, Cowboy castoffs, Fujita and Shanle starting at linebacker for the Saints, I think the game will be decided by the Saints defence, if they can keep the Cowboys under 20, the Saints should win.

Don't expect Parcells to make the same mistake Nolan did this week. I think you may see a steady diet of Jones & Barber. That is where the Saints will win or lose the game - if they can stop the run. And the Cowboy defense is better than the one of my 49ers you so mercilessly shredded.

I was surprised the 49ers didn't run the ball more, Gore was starting to have success in the second quarter when the game was still close. In the third they basically put the game in Smith's hands and he promptly threw a killer pick to MacKenzie, putting the 49ers in big time catch up mode. The lost story of the game, due to Reggie's four td's, was that Deuce ran for 126 and he was really the catalyst of the offence, especially after Horn went down on the second series.

Since Shawntae Spencer was injured the secondary has needed help and that has opened up the D to be vulnerable to the run. Personally, I think 2 more drafts to become a force - one to fill the holes they have, another to fill the holes when some of the vets retire (Bryant Young being foremost in my mind).
Deuce is amazing. I always try to steal him in my FF drafts. It's funny when you hear players described as underrated on TV coverage because if they played in any intense FF leagues they would have seen those players snapped up early.

Very bad news for us Saint fans, Hollis Thomas was just suspended for four games for steroids or bogus supplements. Stupid move, that will really hurt the interior line and run defence.

Chargers went 4-0 without Merriman.
Stuff like this sucks, but if his replacement uses to 4 weeks to get better and Thomas comes back revitalized it may a blessing.

The Colts gave up 248 yards running in one half.
The AFC is crazy.

He injured his thumb last game. Followed through on a throw and hit a defender's helmet.
