Strange season forming
 
Three weeks in and only 3 undefeated teams left, and none of them look like world beaters to me. I think the Dolphins pop open the bubbly early this year.

Hopefully we can build on today's win and start playing football and get right back in the thick of things. Just can't afford many - if any - more NFC losses.

The only thing for sure is that we won't finish 0-16

Yeah if anyone told me before the season that the Cardinals, Eagles and Bengals would be the only unbeaten teams after 3 weeks I would not have believed them.

Maybe the Bengals. They're another under the radar team

If anyone would have told me that Malcolm Jenkins has 2 picks and our entire team has none, I wouldn't stop laughing.

Even if our pass rush isn't playing great, I've still not seen Byrd make a play, jump a route etc

Our pass rush in 2009 was weak, Sharper still managed to jump routes and make plays, grabbing 10 picks

Until he proves me otherwise, I think we massively overpaid for him, and the bills knew it

After 3 games we have 1 forced turnover.

That's tied for 2nd worst in the entire league.

Thats also pathetic, and on pace for worst in NFL history.

Isn't it extremely ironic that all offseason and training camp Payton stressed the importance of turnovers and made the team aware of it with FA signings

Last year we were just playing fundamentally sound football and we still had more turnovers through 3 weeks than we do now

Cardinals and Bengals, yes; still not buying the Eagles...

If we get the Eagles again this season, we own them...

Bengals - they are starting to run out of time to make their run. next couple of years are a do or die deal.

Cardinals - no surprise here IMO. boy can that team draft. their push has just started

Eagles all flash and dash. they maybe the Cinderellas of the NFC East. what a weak division. early on but i do not see them making it far in the playoffs.

Tell ya win the South and we are sitting pretty good.
Atlanta must fall
Tampa and Carolina can be had.
