Around the NFL Week 1

Bears and Falcons are the teams to beat in the NFC. Not the 49ers or Packers.

Really? Not the 49ers? Did you see today's game?

You don't think that beating GB in GB is impressive? Especially in a dominating fashion. The Bears play the Niners later this year on a Monday Night, will see. I hate the 49ers worse than the Cowboys and want to see them lose, but they've got a great team, very well balanced all around with a great defense.

Never tried to say it wasn't impressive, but I think we're all giving both GB and SF a ton of credit for being awesome teams last year when if you look at them in terms of the talent on the field and how they played this week, Chicago and Atlanta are (I think) pretty far ahead and proved that today.

I would have put New Orleans in that class too, and think they'll rebound, but the Saints did not play well today. We were, flatly, the better team at the Superdome today.

I don't know. The Giants will be circled as the team to beat on every other teams' schedule this year - just because they are the defending Super Bowl champs. That's what's more important than the fans' or media's list.
