As much as I hate to say it, the Saints look darn near unstoppable. They appear to be the most complete team at this point.

They certainly have the best overall QB.

Just opinion , Steelers look like they want to get Big Ben another ring then he can retire . So watch how this evolves . But seriously the Rams will go to the SB and I think win it all .
Rams are in Cap hell so they must win now , but so are the Saints .

Does this season seem to be more interesting than most--or not?

Brees has been pretty good this year, for a such a short guy at 6'0"! (The last time I checked (over a year ago), there was only one starting QB in the NFL that was shorter.) Seems most are 6'2" to 6'5". Some are even taller.

Just saw highlight of crazy  end to Patriots vs Dolphins game.
Guess that's why have to play til the game is completely over.
Looks like Gronk (on defense!) got caught flat footed.

It's true! A game's never over, score-wise, until it officially ends. To this day I still remember a "Monday Night Football" game from some 20 or so years ago when the Seahawks were up by some 21 points at the final "2 minute warning." They were high-fiving each other... then they blew it during those final two minutes and lost the game. I forget who they were playing that night, but I've never forgotten that loss to this day. That game taught a good lesson: "It's never over until it's over!"

It’s great to be looking forward this time of year. Short week and injuries will make Thursday night a challenge.

Da Bears defense snuffed out the rams. But they need better qb play than they had tonight in order to take it to the next level.

Something to think about a big IF . The Cleveland Browns would have beat the Saints but missed 2 FG and 2 pat. The Browns missed a FG at the end of regulation against the Steelers in the first game There was a terrible call in the Raiders game that drew attention to the NFL and forced an apology from the NFL . The young Cleveland Browns are getting better ever week . If we could have got just 2 of those games we would be a serious WC team .

I’m sure Bears fans are elated, but judging from the highlights it looked ugly, glad I didn’t watch. QB’s combined for 7 interceptions, 1 TD, both about 50% completions with QB ratings of Trubisky 24.8 and Goff 13.1, worst of the week other than Sanchez - pitiful.
The last play of the Patriots v Dolphins game was really hard to watch too. Time for Gronk to retire and sell Tide Pods.

I have to disagree on the last part. Gronk had a credible game on offense but probably never should have been in the game for that last play since it was so unlikely to be a hail Mary from where the Dolphins were on the field.

Well the Texans 9 game winning streak came to an end yesterday. And rightfully so. They earned that defeat.

Have been a Washington fan since they hired Lombardi. Went through an addictive euphoria in the 80's, but have been depressed for maybe 20 plus years. Had a glimmer of hope when RGII was drafted. With the injuries this year, I wonder whether the team is just cursed.
I keep reading about empty seats at aging Fedex field and around the NFL. Plus anecdotal evidence of decreasing viewership. Is this a thing or is that just hype?

+1.
Gronk had his most productive day offensively in quite sometime but he shouldn't have been in there on the last play.
Poor tackling and horrible defense for a team that pride itself on sound situational football.

Not to mention poor clock management at the end of the second quarter that squandered a possible 3 points and the margin of victory was only 1 point.

Or the missed extra point and the missed 42 yard field goal....
But the offense scored 33 points and deserved a better result if the defense held its own.
