NFL season too early to judge
Posted:  11/04/2009 12:38 PM
So after 8 weeks of the NFL season, we have a pretty good idea of what's going on, right? The Saints, Colts, and Vikings are very good. There are a bunch of teams that area really, really bad. And then a whole lot of teams somewhere in between. But it's interesting to look back at where we were a year ago at this time. Washington began the 2008 season 6-2 (they finished 8-8). Buffalo was 5-2 (finished 7-9). Green Bay started 4-3 (finished 6-10). Cincinnati started 0-8, then went 4-3-1 in their last 8 games. Indianapolis was 3-4 before winning its last 9 games. San Diego was 3-5 but ended up making the playoffs at 8-8 and upsetting Indy in the first round. Tennessee looked like the best team in football at 7-0; the Titans lost their first playoff game to Baltimore. Ditto for the Giants - they started 6-1, won the division, then lost at home to Philly in the playoffs.
