Best percentage in common games, then strength of victory, then strength of schedule.

So would the Strenght of Schedule be determined by the previous years records (ie we have the 2nd hardest schedule based on last years record) or would it need to be re-evaluated at the end of the year so you can see that years SoS?

Def too soon.

And the Packers and Cardinals beat 2 NFC teams each.  I'm calling it now...

Yeah it's the current year SoS since the entire season would be played by the time tiebreakers like that would matter.

Every team we faced is undefeated outside of the game we played them.

Hmm, let's apply that to the power rankings:

1. Packers beat two 0-2 teams
2. Patriots beat two 1-1 teams
3. Cardinals beat two 0-2 teams
4. Bengals beat two 1-1 teams

Egads!  it's the Bengals and Patriots!  Deflate the ball so Hill can hang onto it and SB 50 is ours!

Heh. If we can shake the September heroes to January zeroes pattern...

Ha. That was hilarious!  Def. deflate the ball for Hill.  No excuse for that kind of fumble. He's lucky our D covered up his mistakes last week.   But still look for a big year from the guy.

Well we might make it out of september healthy this year.

Just don't start worrying about that acorn in your backyard growing up and falling on your house yet.

Remember after week 3 last year? Everyone was riding the Bengals. We saw how that ended up.

It's way too early. It's earlier than last year's hype.

I agree with you, but overall I think they have looked even better this year. I feel both of our wins would have been pretty impressive if Hill didn't fumble twice. Last year while going 3-0, the games seemed closer.

Either way, Pats are still the #1 team in the AFC currently.

Only game that was close was the Baltimore game. Falcons and Titans didn't score a touchdown until the 4th quarter. Those were blowouts.

Ravens game was similar to the Chargers game. Bengals in control for pretty much the whole game, but almost allowed a comeback.
