Is the criterion what team is all around the most impressive or what team has most exceeded your expecations? For the former, wow, I don't think I have been as consistently wrong about a team over a two year period in any sport as I have been about the Giants. I didn't think they'd make the playoffs last year, I didn't think they would beat Tampa, Dallas, or Green Bay, and I thought they'd lose by 40 to the Patriots, I thought they would take a major step backwards this season, and I thought they'd lose last weekend. I am finally coming to terms with the fact that they are one of the great teams.

As to the latter, Atlanta is great but if you had told me in August that Vince would be essentially deactivated and Tennessee would be 11-1 I would have thought that was pretty crazy. Also, how about Miami? They are proving what you can achieve when you don't beat yourself (the Chargers would be the inverse of that).

All in all it's been great this year to see some of the old powers fade. This is the first truly wide open season in a long time. Lovin' it.
