Minnesota.

And ATL went to the SuperBowl last year and is/was considered by most analysts to be the best team in the NFC. So they must be alright as well.

I'll give it to the Lions defense and Prater from what I hear they're just bulldozers

He has 7 TDs and one INT through 4 games.

I must say... I find it amusing that the two biggest haters in the thread both admit to not watching the games.... but still in here throwing shade

Not sure if you’re aware, but a lot of people are not watching the NFL due the players disrespecting the flag and national anthem last couple weeks.

Now, doesn’t mean they can’t check the box scores to see the results and voice their opinion.

I only watch the red zone channel. No stupid ford commercials every 5 minutes.

I don't care why they aren't watching, but commenting on a players performance based solely upon the box score is ridiculous. Even more so when the numbers they are basing it upon are incorrect!

3 more good measuring stick games coming up. One this weekend against the Panthers, then the Steelers and GB down the road. These games, like the Falcons game are the ones I look to to see if they have turned the corner. Win 3 out of the next 4 and I'd say they are legit.

Be interesting to see what they do at the trade deadline if they are.

Maybe look into getting a RB that can rush for 100 yards. Amazing stat. Last 100 yd rushing was by Reggie bush on thanksgiving 2013. That’s crazy. 4 years ago.

I 100% agree. They need a good running back. I watch Abdullah and he pauses before he hits the hole every time. It drives me crazy! Barry did the same thing, but he was Barry. We need that downhill guy who is going to pound the hole every time. I am not sure if Washington is that guy, but at least he doesn't pause every time!

I still listen to Sports Talk Radio but when I hear that the defense scored and kicker punting 50+ yards to put up more points than Stafford it still brings me to a conclusion that Stafford still sucks

I’m reading your post and hearing John Madden’s voice. Lol.
