SD lost Indy lost NE lost Brady Jax lost Cle lost I know it's Week 1, but its been the weirdest Week 1 in awhile Thoughts?
I don't know if the division's a lock for Pittsburgh, I really like Baltimore. I'd have to say the favorite is Indy though, despite their performance tonight. BTW Cleveland was never in contention.
I'd rather not see the media bulls eye on the Steelers, but there isn't a team in the AFC that scares me, even before what happened in week 1.
Hell no. It was week 1...overreaction? SD lost on a game-ending play. None of their stars played in the pre-season, they were rusty. The same goes for Indy. Cleveland is such a fluke team, I can't believe the media was hyping them up so much this year. They are going to be DREADFUL.
I wouldn't be so quick to write off Cleveland.... (though,they may end up sucking this year...) I'm not saying they'll contend for a division title, but I think they can contend for a playoff spot. But they do have an elite WR; elite TE, a good OL... their offense should be fine. What surprised me was their defense (or lack thereof). It could be as simple as needing some time to gel. Or it could be they just suck. But one week is hard to determine much of anything.
Like others have said, it's way to early to really say. But going from week one, they looked good and would have to be in that conversation. I'm expecting them to be up near the top of the AFC all season.
