The real top 5 is:
 Packers
 Patriots
 Raiders
 Saints
 Ravens
 Lions
 ———–
 I couldnt decide between Lions and mRavens so they are tied.. Bills Dont belong in the top 5.. The got lucky against the Raiders, The Refs beat the Raiders that game and they got REALLY LUCKY AGAINST THE PATS.. If that game was played 100 more times Bills would loSE..
 Packers are just so much better than the rest of the NFL, The only team that maybe can beat them is the Raiders if Hue decides actually to run the ball.
 At the end of the day the playoffs are going to be
 Raiders vs Pats AFC Championship game
 Packers vs Saints NFC championship game
 Raiders vs Packers Superbowl
 Raiders pull off a huge upset and The Oakland Raiders are your NEW SUPERBOWL CHAMPS!
 In related news ESPN Will not mention thAT THERE WAS EVEN A SUPERBOWL INSTEAD SHOW HIGHLIGHTS OF THE PBA Bowling tournament
----------------------------------------------------------
What kind of drugs are you on? The Bills got lucky? Their defense isn&#039;t that great, but they force mistakes, four Int. by Brady and Vick, thats not just being lucky. How did the refs blow the raider game? Let me guess, the Pats got lucky when they pounded the Raiders right? The Bills were able to come back on both teams, a win is a win........]]></description>

Uh, the Saints beat them 30-13. Is that what you call close?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;Lovie Smith’s seat gradually is getting warmer.&quot;

Lovie gets the blame, Cutler gets the blame, but
GM Jerry Angelo is  responsible for the Bears lack of talent . He has refused time and time again to address the teams major needs at OL and WR even with plenty ($19 Mil.) of cap space. He has proven himself incapable of evaluating talent on the offensive side of the ball.  A 7th round pick protecting your franchise QB&#039;s blind side ? Really ?
1st round pick LT Williams can&#039;t even play guard ??  Cutler&#039;s scared to death and I don&#039;t blame him, the offensive line looked like a bunch of retards last nite,,9 false starts ,,Really ???  Don&#039;t blame Lovie,, the players love him and play hard for him,,,don&#039;t blame Cutler,, Montana couldn&#039;t do well behind that OL,, BLAME JERRY ANGELO !!! He&#039;s terrible !!!]]></description>

The Bears have not been playing well, but 17? Their losses are to your #1, #2, and #3 teams and they were at least close in all 3 games.

NFC North is by far the toughest division in football right now!

------------------------------------------------------------------
Probably but not by as much as you think over the AFC East.
Patriots are essentially the equal of either GB or Detroit.
Buffalo is 4-1 and no joke on offense, with wins over NE, Oakland &amp; Philly.
Chicago looks lousy to me and their OL is a flat-out joke. The Jets are a better team.
Minn. is better than Miami but neither is much to talk about.

I agree about the NFC North but no way &quot;by far the toughest.&quot;]]></description>

Earlier I posted the teams that the Saints and Patriots each beat, with the records of every opponent, to show that New England beat better teams, by more points, than the Saints.

And now that post is GONE.

Saints defense is currently ranked #16 in the league. Not seeing your point?

16th you mean 18th....

18 New Orleans 1773 354.6 1235 247.0 538 107.6 125 25.0 

So giving up 354 yds a game and 25 points per game eventually when they do play teams with better defenses they&#039;ll be in deep doo doo

		<description><![CDATA[I&#039;m a Skins fan, Diehard to be exact.  No way we are a #12 team.  Train-Rex is a couple plays away from us being 1-4.  That said, our running game is looking good, our D is looking better, and schedule looks decent (minus December).  I think we are top 20, but no way #12.  Talk to me when Rex can preserve the ball, and Shanny Junior has us run more or have more screen passes with a lead, and not go downfield.

Thanks anyway!]]></description>

Forget records so far. Based on talent, coaching and potential to grow even better by year’s end, the SB will be played between 2 of these 6 teams:

- Packers
- Saints
- Raiders
- Patriots
- Ravens
- Texans

No offense to the Bills and Lions who look like legit playoff teams. I’m just not convinced they’d be able to endure 2-3 rounds of postseason play against top-tier teams.

So the Bills beat 2 out of your 6 projected SB teams, Patriots and Raiders, but they are not worthy? I think I’d be more worried about those teams being able to stay in the playoffs if the Bills are there instead. 

No, the Bills do not have many elite players, but the thing they do have is team chemistry, they find a way to win.

-----------------------------

Just my opinion. The Raiders had the Bills down 21-3 in Buffalo and came out in the 2nd half as if the game were already won. Then the Bills needed about 6 different 50/50 plays (including a couple of near INTs) to all go their way in the last few minutes before going ahead on 4th down with about 15 seconds left. Raiders still nearly won on a hail mary.

Against the Pats, the Bills needed like 4 or 5 Tom Brady turnovers to barely squeak out a victory at home. Nice win, but not sure you can count on getting that many Tom Brady turnovers in a rematch.

Bills won both of those games fair and square, but it doesn&#039;t necessarily mean the better team or at least who I feel is the better team in the long run won. Plus I feel like the Bills are playing to their full potential right now with little room for improvement while the Raiders and Pats could and likely will be even better come December/January.]]></description>
