Looks like their may be a genuine lack of parity this year, something the NFL has always strived for.
There are some genuinely awful teams out there, more than I can ever remember.
Tennesee- just tragic, Fisher will lose his job but will probably be thrilled. Vince Lombardi couldn't get that team to win a game.

Jets- They may go a long time between wins as the Titans aren't on their schedule again.

Raiders- absolutely awful, they have nothing going for them at all.

Redkins- simply don't have the personnel to get anything done.

Miami- Another team that all the great coaching in the world won't help.

Tampa Bay- has scored 3 points in 2 games. Gonna be a long year down there.

Lions- same old same old, just awful.

Packers- just awful, defense is like a leaky dam.

Thats 8 teams that can be defined already after two weeks as tragic. Can't recall feeling with such strong conviction that 8 teams were completely hopeless after just two weeks of the season.

Divisonal breakdown, the cream of the crop:
AFC East- Pats may not be as strong as the dynasty Pats but play incredibly well coached and disciplined football and have a cupcake schedule this year. Sure to win their division with a great record.

AFC North- Cincy is just flat out great. Not great at anything and very good at everything. Put a circle around them as division winners. Baltimore looks like a wild card team.

AFC South- Indy looks as strong or stronger than they did last year before being distracted by the death of Dungy's son before the playoffs. Look Super Bowl bound. Jacksonville plays stellar Defense. Look to be the other wildcard team.

AFC West- Before the days of huge paychecks for first round draft choices teams used to keep a qb on the sidelines for two years to learn the system and be truly ready for the job when they get it. I can name 10 qb's no longer in the NFL who might be stars or starters had they not been thrown to the wolves in their first years. Rivers was quite lucky to have been groomed properly and he looks very good. The defense is stellar and LT is still LT. Divison winner in a cakewalk.

NFC North- Eagles just got hurt badly by losing Kearse for the season. Dallas has a cupcake schedule and should be battling the Giants for divisonal honors. Giants have the most brutal schedule in the NFL but look to be very good, even if their coach isn't. Dallas and the Giants go to the postseason.

NFC North- Bears are good, and play a ridiculously easy schedule. They should finish with the nest record in the NFC. Vikings may be good enough to get the other wildcard.

NFC South- Atlanta seems to have stepped up the defense. They should in the division rather easily.

NFC West- Seattle, who else?
