I just read the poll yesterday, and it's official. AFC West is the easiest gateway to the POs in the League.

Proving that Manning is no fool. He probably picked Denver as his landing spot after bilking Jimbo Irsay and the Colts out of 20 mill in 2011, as the best way to guarantee at least a shot at the POs, in his quest for a second ring.

So true. We can't even come close to all the greatness in the east. I mean, look at all those big time QBs there! Brady, Sanchez or Smith, Tannehill, who ever plays in Buffalo...oh and last but not least, Tebow. We would be donezekins if we competed in the East year after year. Plus all the great big name coaches.. Bellicheat, Foot Fetish, and whoever is coaching this week in Miami and Buffalo...Year after year those teams really compete for the east crown.

I catch your drift, Sarge, but remember.........

You don't elevate your team's Division by tearing down another's!

The East is not elite, but it is second toughest in the Conference, I believe. NE is so good, though, they will continue their dominance this season, and for the foreseeable future.....alas.

Let me make the distinction between our respective Division's strength a little clearer and easier to understand...

Your former #1 draft pick and starting QB, one season removed, is struggling, and questionable as to whether he can even crack the NE roster. :cool:

Who cares?.....LOL

The short and sweet, dismissive comeback....but then, what else could one say?

I was just thinking how Peyton was a definite upgrade for the Broncs, yet what did he actually do for them that Tebow didn't do the year before? Both won the Division, and both won a PO game...oh, wait, Peyton didn't win a PO game last year unless we count the 'bye'. ;)

Then I realized Manning did win 13 games to Timmy's 8. Eight! Holy canoli....then I remembered that there was a three-way tie in W-L records in the West in 2011, and KC was only a game behind! That's a pretty pathetic Division....nay, astounding...when you think about it. In 2012, there was some improvement, yet while Denver won 13 games, that was the grand total of wins of the other three division members, combined!

Yep....who cares? I wouldn't want to try and debate that either. But to be fair, the East is not exactly a grind, but at the same time, there is no question that that NE's dominance is based much more on their superiority over the other AFC East teams than Denver's recent success in taking the West title, don't you agree?

Who's strong over there besides NE? Buffalo? Miami? NYJ? I firmly believe
that both KC and SD can whip any of those other three teams handily. KC
has been picked by many as a Wild Card team this year. I doubt seriously
that any team in the east will come close to a Wild Card.

If we're talking about this season, who knows yet... You may be right. But "handily"...? hmmm, that may be a stretch.

But you can't refute the facts or the records of the past two seasons.

Having said that, I also believe that any comparisons between team's performance, even against common opponents, is speculative at best, since the composition of the game day rosters, the weather, the locale, etc., all change from week to week. It's what make this game so interesting and exciting.

Colts and Texans make a superior duo then the Patriots and...Miami?Don't think anyone is questioning that the AFC North and South are toughest two divisions in AFC. Also don't think any rational person can claim the AFC West is better or tougher than the AFC East or vice versa because they both are lame. The Jets and Buffalo both have awful QB situations, Miami is an unknown, the Raiders and Chargers both suck and the Chefs are also an unknown. I haven't compared schedules, but I think that Miami might be the only one of those teams with a chance for a winning record and I think that is unlikely. IMHO, the Chief will at best finish 8-8.

The AFC North has a team that has made the playoffs three out of four years -Cincinnati- the Sb champs - the ravens- and a team that has not missed the playoffs in consecutive years since the ninties -the steelers-. In other words, at the start of the year we have three legitimate playoff contenders...and the Browns. The West has two in KC and Denver. The South has two in Indy and Texas, the East has two in Miami and New England.

I assume they're taking the "the steelers are going to finally fall off and the Ravens lost too much," route, which is strange. The Steelers were supposed to be done several times, dating back to the Cowher regime. It's prudent to assume that they're tough until they aren't, and they had a winning record last year. The Ravens replaced a lot of what they lost, and let's be honest, Lewis was not that great in the end of the year and in the postseason, Reed markedly was worse, etc etc etc. I have more faith in the Ravens, Steelers and Bengals than I do for the Phins and Chiefs.

People all over the league will tell you that the previous season means
nothing to the present season. I'm going by what I see of this year's Chiefs,
not last year's. So go ahead and gauge this year by the previous records.
But, if you don't mind my advice, stay out of Vegas.

I was just checking out the AFC West record against the NFC East this year and came across division rankings (though they are 5 days old right now). Pretty good breakdown of each division, with the AFC West and East currently in second and first respectively though I am sure that will change with the losses the AFC East had this past weekend minus the Jets win last night.

I said the same thing about Brady in 2007 that I say now, he's an all time great who is slightly overrated and has benifited from a system that he fits perfectly. He's a modern day Montana, no doubter HOFer and definite top ten all time QB but overrated a little because of his team's accomplishments.

When the Pats were winning SBs it was more about their Defense, especially the first 2. Since their focus has shifted to offense jugernaut, with the weight of the team squarley on Brady's shoulders he has failed to win it all.

When comparing Brady to Manning I figure in the fact that Manning has been the focal point of every team he's ever been on. Manning took teams to the playoffs that IMHO Brady wouldn't have won more than 8 games with. When the Pats lost Brady for a season they went 11-5, when the Colts lost Manning they ended up with the first pick in the draft.

To me Manning is Elway and Brady is Montana. I firmly believe you swap teams with those guys and the SB totals swap too, if not go up for Manning and Elway.

I'm bot just saying this now because Manning is a Bronco, I've been saying that Manning is the greatest QB in history for years now. I've never seen a smarter QB.

Couldn't agree more. Peyton Manning repeatedly took mediocre to poor Colts teams to @ 13-3 records, essentially all on his lonesome, year after year. Essentially apart from him the Colts had Bob Sanders (occasionally) Dwight Freeney (a true one trick pony) and some good WR's (who were good but nothing like as good as what we are fielding now) - and took out a ten year lease on the AFC South title. He even won a Superbowl.

Yep.

In terms of taking mediocre teams further than anyone else could with the same teams Peyton and Elway are 1a and 1b. Manning gets the slight edge because he actually won a SB with one of those teams while Elway gets a bit of an edge because the teams he took to the SB were probably not even as good as the teams led by PFM.

I would differ in that I think the Elway era Broncs were better than Mannings Colts. We had a much superior defense to the Colts pretty much throughout. Then again, Edgerrin James > Sammy Winder, so you picks yer poison

Good idea.

One thing for certain though...the original premise of this thread has really become stupid beyond all imagining, ain't it? Kind of like "A Pat's fan's guide to sticking metal cutlery in a toaster" level dumb.

My daughter saw Sanchez on the TV the other day when we were watching a jets game. She wanted to know why he had a little girl's hair band.

I hope you explained that it was just a symbolic representation of the way he throws...

Couldn't agree more. Peyton Manning repeatedly took mediocre to poor Colts teams to @ 13-3 records, essentially all on his lonesome, year after year. Essentially apart from him the Colts had Bob Sanders (occasionally) Dwight Freeney (a true one trick pony) and some good WR's (who were good but nothing like as good as what we are fielding now) - and took out a ten year lease on the AFC South title. He even won a Superbowl.

Manning had 2 likely HOFers on the roster in Indy at WR, Dread ....he hardly had "mediocre" support.

Mr Bojangles

Yep.

In terms of taking mediocre teams further than anyone else could with the same teams Peyton and Elway are 1a and 1b. Manning gets the slight edge because he actually won a SB with one of those teams while Elway gets a bit of an edge because the teams he took to the SB were probably not even as good as the teams led by PFM.

You guys obviously didn't follow Colts' football very closely.

The highlights don't tell the whole story.

Oh...?
And how's that, davii?

Are you that disputing the fact that, on the day this thread was started, the AFC West was considered the AFC doormat?

You seem to think that I came up with that distinction.....in which case you are wrong, of course.

True, KC has surprised most of us a bit......probably not you or MO...but most informed sources and NFL followers.

So it seems a little odd that you would categorize it the way you have. I'm beginning to think you have a personal problem with me.

I believe Slim was dubious about the return of RG3, the Cowboys inconsistency, the Eagle's new coaching staff and scheme, and the Giants just being the Giants.

Granted, I'm not Slim, so I can't say what's in his mind.

Technically, that's correct. But it sure sounded like you were saying that the NFCEast is a doormat and you knew that as far back as last summer.

Personally, I thought the NFC East's member teams suffered in the records because all four of the teams were extremely competitive with each other and beat up on each other, at least in the last couple of years prior to this season. So I wouldn't simply look at the records in that Division and say they are weak.

The only team I thought that would be terrible in the AFCW was Oakland. And they are actually better than I thought with Pryor.

Having said that, I think KC is a bit of an illusion. Considering how much harder it is to play shutdown defense than knockout offense, it's only a matter of time before Reid takes his alex smith knife to a gunfight.

The chargers are the chargers, winning against good teams one day and losing against crappy teams the next. That's what Rivers gives you.
