NFL: At the Quarter Mark… What Do We Really Know?

Posted on | October 6, 2009 | No Comments

With most teams now 4 games into the season, we’re now right around the quarter mark. And what do we know about this season?

Well, we don’t know all that much. But we do know a little bit and now is the time when we’re going to find out a lot more.

So, what do we know? Well, we know that the Minnesota Vikings are a really good team. Some “media experts” are calling the me the favorites for the Super Bowl but they aren’t. At least not yet. Yes, they have a great running back and a decent quarterback and a great defense. But Favre won’t be nearly as sharp as he was last night once the calendar turns to November. He’ll become a liability. Or at least that’s something the Vikings have to worry about.

We also know that the Saints are a good team. In fact, the Saints and the Vikings look like they are clearly the 2 best teams right now. The Saints have a really good offense and a defense that looks to be improved. We’ll see how each side of the ball does as the season wears on.

In the AFC we know that the there is no dominant team. And that’s about all wwe know. Sure, the Colts are undefeated but they haven’t been overwhelming with their play. The Broncos are 4-0 but they got really lucky against the Cowboys and the Bengals. They could just as easy be 2-2. And I think they’ll be lucky to finish 10-6 this year. If their division was any better than I wouldn’t think they’d be any better than 8-8. Even with their 4-0 start.

The best teams in the AFC are yet to show themselves. Could be the Colts. Could be the Steelers or the Pats. Could even be the Jets. Who knows? Nobody.

In fact, we don’t know much at this point of the NFL season. But we’re about to start finding a lot out.
