    what Nfl team surprised you the most today?

    I have to say I was impressed with the Bears today. They do have a tough schedule and obviously atl was a false fave but the bears looked really good to me. Defense was solid and they have a good mix on offense. Cutler is sorta like Romo but he is smarter. Also liked the bills. They could win 7 games.

    Panthers

    I thought a team, with a rookie @ QB would fail miserably on the road. Nevertheless, Cam Newton may be their best player.

    The Bengals and Bills.

    Mind you if Gradkowski was starting right away I would not have been surprised.

    Carolina and Cam. He looked pretty comfortable out there. We'll see how he does next week.

    Gradkowski is a winner IMO. Whenever he played for the Raiders, his teammates would play hard for him. He lacks top flight talent, but he plays woth lots of confidence.

    The Browns, if they're ever going to turn the corner and compete with the Steelers and Ravens... you can't lose your home opener against division bottom-feeder with rookie QB... very dissappointing loss for that franchise

    Teams that look good this week usually look bad the next week.

    Bills still suck.

    Chiefs in a predictable letdown year, but no way anyone saw anything close to Bills 41-7 in KC

    Browns have done nothing for anyone to be too surprised

    Newton played great but also had tons of breaks and faced a shit D. Cards still covered

    Steelers jumped in a perfect ambush spot

    The Steelers and how they got completely dominated. Haven't seen that in quite sometime and it was very surprising. This isn't a young team. They are very experienced with a phenomenal coach and I expected more.

    Because he's got HEART.

    Took those pathetic Raiders into Pitt as 15 underdogs and WON.

    Sucks he has to play for all these loser teams.

    Camalina panthers and the rook. Thoroughly impressed. Ravens and their offense. Finally looks potent enough to do something to make the team balanced.

    considering that bears have lost by more than 7 points two times in their last 17 games... I think you're crazy



    it will be a good close game, I'm gonna buy a point to make it +7.5

    Jets my friend. Those fckers had me on the edge of my sit the whole game. Couldn't do sht....turnovers...easy TDs to Dallas. One thing I forgot about game like this is that prime time games...are meant for ratings...so there'll be dramas and thrills. Always take that into consideration next time.

    Agree, this was an absolute shock to me, even more so than the Bills romp of KC

    The Bengals and the Panthers. Really didn't see either of those teams having much of a shot this year at competing.

    Other than that, the only surprise was the Ravens but they were already a good team.

    they moved the ball much better with dalton in, bruce's pass wasn't anything of skill, it was just a browns blunder.

    I thought it would be the other way around but dalton look much more composed in the pocket.

    Cam Newton was a surprise.

    KC really really sucked(Buffalo isn't really that good)

    Giants, that bad? Gift wrap the NFC east to the Eagles right now(Skins aren't that good)

    Dare we say Colts are the front runner for the Andrew Luck sweepstakes
