Anyhow, what does everyone think, I am out to lunch thinking Chicago looks like the best team in the NFC North right now?
Also how long before all of the pundits jump off the Minnesota and Arizona band wagons, since the pundits were all touting those two teams before the season started? If the Redskins are not ranked above those two teams in the so called Power Rankings, it will just confirm that those rankings are manure. I can't believe people would get hyped on Arizona, all I have to say is, "Bidwell Brothers". Everyone rips on Snyder, but at least he will pay whatever it takes to win.

I'm sorry, but I'm jumping on the Chicago bandwagon. I don't think they are Super Bowl contenders or anything but I think they could very well be the best in that division. I also think Kyle Orton will improve as the season goes along. Think about it, will he face a more formidable defense for the rest of the year than ours? Maybe not - and the kid did decent.
As far as the Vikings go, you can cut it, slice it or dice it anyway you want, they miss Moss bigtime! The thing about a Randy Moss is you have to plan your whole game around him and now he's gone. So D coordinators now have their work reduced significantly, IMO. Also consider this, when Culpepper and Moss were on fire last year that changed the way the defense played because offenses were forced to play at a different tempo because of Culpepper/Moss constantly putting points on the board. That's not the case now. So all the cracks in their defense are even more evident now.
