NFL Week 11: In four weeks we can put TEBOW!!!! in the headline

There are only two conferences. I don't see the NFC being any worse than the AFC, where the Broncos and Chiefs and Jets remain in contention, and where the best teams are 7-3 and severely flawed. If the Ravens are the best of the AFC, the Seahawks beat them; if the Patriots are the best of the AFC, the Giants beat them.

 

Given what he has to work with, I think Fox is doing a coaching job for the ages. Hell, just getting his players to believe winning was even remotely possible given what they've got, what they're doing and what they looked like in the first six games is an amazing bit of coaching.

 

Agree. He'll be a fine runner-up.

 

It was his attempt at sarcasm. The NFC also has the Packers. The post was nonsensical.

 

I know that if I was a Bronco, and I saw the risks Fox was willing to run to win games in what was looking to be a lost season, I'd sure play hard for him.

 

9-1 in the NFC doesn't mean what it did even 10 years ago. Every year some team runs up a gaudy record and kicks the shit out of poor to bad teams in its division/conference, usually gets sent home early. San Francisco looks like this year's candidate.

 

poindexter, again, I'll accept that as high praise from someone who traffics in nonsense every day on these forums.

 

I am going to accept poin's theory that you are attempting sarcasm, because otherwise none of this makes any sense. Maybe the 49ers will not go far in the playoffs, but that certainly isn't related to whether they are facing poor competition or in the weaker conference.

 

Look at the schedule again. Do you not think Jim Schwartz merits some CoY consideration? That team has been raised from the dead. They haven't played a meaningful Thanksgiving game since the Clinton administration.

 

Harbaugh > Schwartz. Proven pretty conclusively.

 

How is the NFC and worse than the AFC?

 

Refresh my memory... Which NFL teams started 9-1 or better last season?
