I'm really surprised nobody's said New England was overrated.

Re: After 7 Weeks Who is Overrated & Underrated
 

Overrated: Colts
Underrated: Ravens

Re: After 7 Weeks Who is Overrated & Underrated
 

I'll say Dallas AND Tony Romo are overrated.

I think the Cards are underrated too, as long as Warner can stay healthy.

Re: After 7 Weeks Who is Overrated & Underrated
 

Overrated: Pats and Colts

Underrated: Everyone else

The bandwagon is just too crowded for me.

overrated. i say the steelers. I'm just not sold on big Ben
underrated. maybe the Texans. they are starting to put something together down there

[quote=dgack;369041]I'm really surprised nobody's said New England was overrated.[/quote]The Pats are winning by an average margin of 23 points per game, which might represent the greatest 7 game run in NFL history. Anyone that calls that overrated lacks perspective to appreciate truly great football. That said, our physical and speedy back 7 presents problems that the NE passing game hasn't faced this year. The Pats may win, but I doubt that they'll cover the 16 1/2 point spread.

Overrated by who?

Where?

Re: After 7 Weeks Who is Overrated & Underrated
 

i can't see how anyone can say the pats or colts are overrated. no way the cowboys are overrated. they are 6-1 right now, who cares who they have played. they beat the teams they should have, can't say the same for our SKINS.

overrated - Green Bay(a little) Carolina (way over rated, the suck)

underrated - Washington(homer!) Detroit (what?)

Re: After 7 Weeks Who is Overrated & Underrated
 

Over-rated: Chicago Bears
Under-rated: Cleveland Browns

Re: After 7 Weeks Who is Overrated & Underrated
 

overrated: Cowboys + Jaguars
underrated: Cheifs + Giants

Re: After 7 Weeks Who is Overrated & Underrated
 

For those who think that the Pat's are over rated just go back and look at our stats from 1991 when our O was dominating most teams. I think we had like 28 passing TDs for the year and the Pats have 27 in just 7 games. They are going to crush the stats that our O put up that year and I do not think anyone thought we were overrated. That was the only stat I could remember off the top of my head but the other day I heard a comparison and not even funny how much they are going to crush our stats from that year.

Re: After 7 Weeks Who is Overrated & Underrated
 

I know the Colts are undefeated as well, but the Patriots are doing to the NFL what Tiger Woods is doing to golf. In a league by themselves. The Pats are not overrated.
I think the Browns are underrated, I think they may actually make the playoffs with Derek Anderson under center NOT Brady Quinn! Imagine that!

I've seen several people list the Pats as overated and could someone just please explain how this could be?

Jealousy or stupidity.

Or maybe both?

The thing people have to remember about being overrated is that it's a relative term. I don't dispute that they are a vey good team. But I do think this "best team ever" talk is wholly premature, based on the teams they've thrashed thus far.

Re: After 7 Weeks Who is Overrated & Underrated
 

I think the Capitol Police football team are underrated and the Members of Congress team are overrated.

Re: After 7 Weeks Who is Overrated & Underrated
 

how are the Dolphins underated? I think they are pretty much as bad as we say they are.

I'm glad we did our part to roll over and add to the legend. If I had any inkling it was going to be like this, I wish we'd have been having a 2-14 season and NOT been a high ranked defense up till now. As it stands, our failure finally gives them a seemingly legitimate win over a team that on paper was a superb defense.

Has there ever been a better time to be a Colts fan?

Re: After 7 Weeks Who is Overrated & Underrated
 

Overrated: NFC teams
Underrated: Saints, Chiefs, Titans, Jags, NYG

*The AFC is much tougher than our lesser conference. Their top teams are much stronger than ours. Saints suddenly look good again. Herm Edwards is 4-3 with Damon Huard at QB. Jeff Fisher is more committed to the run than any coach I have ever seen. Jax wins today with injuries galore. Giants quietly 2nd in NFC and sick D line. As for our skins, I want to see 5-3 next week. We could be 6-1 or 2-5 now, so we're 4-3 still baby! Gibbs will have our house back in order next week.

For this 8 game stretch, this is easily the best all-around team I've ever seen. For crying out loud, their average margin of victory must be somewhere around 24 ppg after today!!!

I'm eating a lot of crow right now, for sure. I would not have posted that had I really thought that we would allow them to score more than 4 TD's at most. But I really don't think anybody expected the complete desecration that occurred today.

All I can say is that the Patriots went from a team I didn't particularly pay attention to or care about to a team I deeply loathe and despise, more so than the Cowboys, Ravens, or even the Iggles (!)

Re: After 7 Weeks Who is Overrated & Underrated
 

Overrated: How about Marvin Lewis? A lot of people said the Redskins should have named Lewis the head coach and not Spurrier but look at him now. Running a team of delinquents to a 2-5 record. He's headed for, at best, another run of the mill 8-8 record

Underrated: Buffalo Bills. They just need to settle on a QB

I don't know, I'd still take Marvin Lewis over a lot of other teams out there. Especially given all the talk about guys with class in the Belichick thread.

Marvin has a problem with the inmates running the asylum over in Cincy, but you have to have every reason to believe that's as much on the team ownership as it is the coach. Rarely does the coach get to clean house and institute martial law on a team.

At any rate, I believe the Bengals would probably be close to undefeated if they played in the NFC, and we'd maybe have one win if we were in their division. Right now the Browns and Ravens would crush us easily to say nothing of the Steelers.

You can put the Skins in that category now.

Anyone still have pipe dreams of winning a superbowl this season?

Overrated - Green Bay
Underrated - Denver

Anybody who really thought we could be in the Super Bowl this year was smoking something out of a bong, not a pipe.

This morning, I'm guessing everyone in your league but you. :-)

Overrated-Giants, we gave them a win and they haven't played anyone good since.. They would have still won 5 straight with their schedule.. They will likely go 3-5 in the 2nd half for a 9-7 record..

Underrated-Jaguars, they are far from elite in the AFC but they are probably top 5 in the NFL but nobody talks about them.

Re: After 7 Weeks Who is Overrated & Underrated

It's always the same routine for me on Sunday...go to the bar, watch the Skins, go run some errands when our game is finished. Never have I ever digressed from this routine but will this weekend. I'll be watching and rooting for [B][I]The[/I] Professional Team[/B].

Overrated: Pats

Just look who the Pats have in their division? That's six easy wins.
