After the SD game the only team that scares me is us!
Wish I could hit "like" about a hundred times.

I think we also have to put the Giants into the mix. Eli is getting super good and if they can get the rest of the team on board, I think they might be a threat. Plus, if they win their division, they could knock the Eagles out of the playoffs in the process.
Eli is a top 5 quarterback this year and at this rate, I'd take him over Brees or Brady cause he's not forcing the ball into tight spots for interceptions. I don't know what the deal is with Brady and Brees this year. Brady will force that ball to Welker under tight coverage and get picked off, where Brees will force it around to Jimmy Graham when under blitz pressure. They're both good, but they're turning the ball over more than we're used to seeing.

Is it age? I saw it with Peyton the last few years too.
I truly am starting to wonder if the young guns are taking over the league now.
I never thought I'd say it, but yeah Eli is great this year, I'll admit it. And he don't have Peyton's shadow to sit there and compare him with this year.

This is key. Eli has always been the "other Manning." Now he is the only Manning. Even in his SB win they showed Peyton a million times. I love Peyton but enough is enough.
When comparing quarterbacks,you have to compare them at the current season and not career.
Is Eli better than Brady? HELL NO career wise, but so far this year, he's playing better than him.
That's kinda like the Manning/Brees thing back in 2009, my opinion; Brees should have won the MVP for breaking the record on completion percentages that season, but I don't know if I'd say he's better than Manning career wise.
Young vs Montana back in 1994? Surely Young had a better season winning his first Super Bowl than Joe Cool's final season, but that don't mean he's better than him comparing careers.
Right now I worry about two games. The Lions at their house, and which Giants team will we meet?
Rodgers always has extra incentive to beat Alex Smith and the 40Whiners.
Because they didn't draft him??? Meh... I think that's over rated at this point.Right now I worry about two games. The Lions at their house, and which Giants team will we meet?

Isn't that what Saddam told his troops about ours?Well, now I read a report this morning that stated Leslie Frazier said the Vikings are ready to beat the Packers this time.
I agree.I think we also have to put the Giants into the mix. Eli is getting super good and if they can get the rest of the team on board, I think they might be a threat. Plus, if they win their division, they could knock the Eagles out of the playoffs in the process.
That's the team that should scare you the most right now. 2-6, nothing to lose on the road. Playing for respect, pretty much out of the playoff hunt.....unless they win out(not likely). But it would go a long way for them to beat he Packers in Green Bay. Be the team that gives the Champs their first loss. Suppose to be the easiest game for the rest of the year......14 point underdogs.....Rodgers has 8 games with a passer rating over 100.....Well, now I read a report this morning that stated Leslie Frazier said the Vikings are ready to beat the Packers this time.
