The best team in the NFL ... The Pats .. so say A-Team's stats

He threw about three balls in the Dolphins game that were about 10 yards short of what he used to complete with ease 8-10 years ago. I have no idea whether the Rice/Moss returns will turn the Vikings offense into a juggernaut, but I do know that the o-line has been pretty mediocre and Favre is going to take a lot of hits this year regardless. I don't think bringing Moss on board is going to help those problems.

You guys may very well be right. The schedule is brutal and I don't think Moss has ever played in a west coast offense so there has to be a learning curve with the terminology and the routes.

Athletically, though, they may have enough to overcome the transition issues. If they do, this offense could be something special. I do agree on further thought that it may be a big "if" and I certainly won't use this Jets game as any kind of barometer.

I think Favre is going to get hit on Monday. A lot.

If the Lions can give him as much trouble as they did (two picks, another two Favre-esque turnovers negated by debatable penalties), then the Jets are going to eat his lucnh.

The lions are looking more and more impressive every week. That is definitely a team on the rise.

I would put a bet down that they make the playoffs next year on their current path.

As a 30 year plus Lions fan, I wouldn't bet a penny on anything regarding the Lions save that I'm pretty sure they won't break the current Pirates record of most losing seasons in a row by a major sports franchise.
