    Well.. week 7 is upon us. What are some of the things that have surprised you so far this year? Two of my biggest surprises are the way the Broncos and Ei Manning have played. True enough, the Broncos have gone 5-1 three years in a row, but I didn't like them to win more than 6-7 games this year. As for Manning, I thought he'd be a solid starting QB in the NFL some day. But the way he's putting up big time numbers this early on has me thinking I may have underestimated him. What has surprised you thus far?

    I'm surprised on how the Indy's D' are playing. Didn't expect them to be so dominating.

    Seeing the Redskins start to actually make "big plays" on offense, haven't seen that in a LONG time

    Carson Palmer and Indy's defense are probably the biggest surprises.

    --> Carson Palmer, Top 5 in MVP voting this year after learning year last year--> Colts defence. Say their schedule is easy, say it's not, but either way to Colts have shut everyone down when it count (Allow meaningless touchdowns in garbage time, great D when down against Rams)

    The big surprise for me was the way we ( Packers ) started off the season. I was in total shock at how we started, hopefully we can begin to stabilize... PACKERS FOR PLAYOFFS [​IMG]
