4 (er... 5) teams @ 4-0

Add a fifth team after tonight.

That's interesting info H5. Texans imploded in that loss to the Hags with Schaub once again doing a very good Romo impression and Jackson with a turrible personal foul that resulted in a 22 yard play gifting the Hags into FG range. It was every bit the Texans crapping the bed as it was a Hags win. Nonetheless of that group, I would agree they look the most legit.

I don't get how the Broncos are not considered highly legit.

Their best defensive player has not yet played.  Manning has been light's out and the offense looks loaded.

FIFY

Denver is the best team I've seen in the first 4 weeks. 

Kansas City plays like a traditional Andy Reid team. They will probably make the playoffs, but will crap the bed in the playoffs. Like a traditional Andy Reid team.

New England will falter in the playoffs. They have a good running game, but they're living on the edge with every other area. 

Seattle is good. They're balanced and play tough defense. I think they will be over confident a few times this year and have a let down. They have a lot of really talented players, but I don't believe, as a whole, they have the mental toughness to find success in the playoffs. 

Same with Denver. Manning has always lit the league up, he can't handle the heat in the playoffs though.

This year it will likely be the cold in the playoffs - at home, and if they make it, in NYNY.

Conversely, its hard to comprehend that the Giants and Steelers are 0-4. I for one did not see that coming. Was not expecting either to be on fire early, but 0-4, just wow how bad they've gotten this year.

It's not just about the fact that the Giants are 0-4, it's HOW they're 0-4. They keep getting dominated. That is the most schizophrenic team in the NFL. If they momentum is even a little bit against them, they fold completely. If the momentum favors them, then they're very hard to beat. It's very weird. 

Really hope the Dolfish join the list above.

Converesely, why are some of those teams on the "lesser" list. Atlanta is a solid enough team, with their three losses all to teams that are currently undefeated. Houston, Dallas, Baltimore and San Francisco are also teams that likely end up as playoff teams, and Carolina's defense is good enough to give them a chance.

The sample size is still pretty darned small.  

I don't think Seattle can win a track meet that is New Orleans.  Miami looked pretty good early in the game, but Saints have them wore out on D and O.

The fumble and INT were pretty big factors in momentum shift. Seattle doesn't turn the ball over too often and their running game is pretty sound. That means ball control and the NO offense on the sidelines.

It wouldn't shock me if the Giants end up winning their division. They can get hot and the East stinks.

I think the Packers would have a hard time keeping up with any of these 4-0 teams. Denver and New Orleans would have a field day against this defense. KC and Seattle would destroy our offensive line.

I don't think SEA would have to win a track meet vs. NO.  That secondary can really slow down NO's WRs.  While I can see the doubts in SEA's mental make up come playoff time, they could also be a team that is maturing into having that.  And if they get the 1 seed, who's going to beat them? 

I don't think New Orleans' D is ready for prime time. Rob Ryan's defenses tend to underwhelm in big games. Sean Payton and Brees will find a way to work over Seattle's D though. If Matt Schaub can throw for 350+ at 63% and 2 TDs against Seattle, then they're not as elite as Richard Sherman wants you to think. 

I know each game is different, but I admit being concerned once again with the Packers defense given what the Bengals did to them.

And DIDN'T DO to the Browns.

Updated after the NOS win over MIA. Will be interesting to watch this play out.

Next 4 games for these undefeated teams.

DEN - @DAL, JAC, @IND, WAS

SEA - @IND, TEN, @ARI, @STL

NEP - @CIN, NOS, @NYJ, MIA

KAN - @TEN, OAK, HOU, CLE

NOS - @CHI, @NEP, bye, BUF

Just noticed, each of the undefeated teams have played a win-less team. KAN with two, and the others with at least 1 one-win team.

only 4-0 team to have beaten a team that currently has a winning record is the Saints
