The Jets are going to need to improve on offense. Everyone knew that going in. But they were playing the Ravens defense last night. Ed Reed or not, the ravens are still one of the better defensive teams in the league.

It's a long season.
I agree with all of this. There are no teams in the AFC without flaws. There are about 6-8 teams that if they avoid major injuries and more importantly get hot at the right time can make it to the Super Bowl. It's way to early to panic. The Jets & Ravens are 2 of the teams.

I hope things are different this year with the Texans. I kept waiting for them to s.hit the bed on Sunday but the running game was stout and they basically blew the Colts off the line on every play. The defense was considerably better, Kareem Jackson looked very good (Coach Pants was right) and the rest of the secondary was improved. Dallas Clark generally has a field day with the Texans but he had a relatively quiet day (11 catches, 80 yds).

It's an understatement to say this is the best Texans team in franchise history but I'm going to remain cautiously optimistic.

That would be the other 6. Maybe the Titans too. I can argue any of these 9could be the SB representitve and also give you reasons why it is possible they could miss the playoffs. The NFC probably has 5 with a legitimate shot: GB, Minn, Dal, NY,NO. Maybe ATL
