NFL Fans: After 3 Weeks. How do you feel about your team now?
As some would say, you can't predict what a team does in the off season, nor in pre-season but now since we have gotten 3 weeks in (with exception of the Monday Night game), how do you feel about your team and what predictions do you have now?
Disclaimer-
I am a Vikings Fan, been so since Jim McMahon played for them in 1993. But in the NE I often do not get games and even now, I refuse to get the NFL network as most times Sundays are busy but I have gotten time to watch all 3 games this season.
Vikings historically could never defend against the pass and often could put up points but if they were not 20+ points ahead, a few big mistakes often costed games. Also the Viks have done exceptionally well with Vet. QB's such as McMahon, Warren Moon, Jeff George, and now Brett Farve.
With the addition of Percy Harvin and I will say it now "Future Hall of Famer" Adrian Peterson I think they have a legit shot at a play off spot. I love Farve playing and he is still a "throw it up there and pray guy" but I was on the edge of the couch for the 49'ers game.
The one worry I have is that Brett has been producing, but in all 3 games, that have not put up a huge lead, and for weaker teams like the Lions and the Browns that was scary and the 49'ers is not a weak squad, i worry about down the line.
I have always been a Denny Greene fan when he was with the Vikes but Childress has done alot to make this team work and I expect at least to win their division.
I may not get to see the GB as I am going to the Red Sox's last home game but it is a 1pm game so we will see.
** how about your team, any thoughts?? **

Pats fan here...pretty unhappy with the ability to put it in the endzone especially with the amount of talent on the offense. Defense is plagued with injuries but they are doing their job. Field goals cant always win a game. I think Brady will get better as the season progresses but they should def. be 3-0 right now...the vikings do look pretty good this year, that niners game was a great one. AP is just a machine

NE I think will have their pains but will be in the Play offs. NYG just crushed TB off the field, it was not even funny.

Dallas fan here-
Im sure they will do just fine against Carolina tonight. Even though they have Barber listed as "questionable" i doubt he will play(If Wade Phillips is smart). Felix Jones and Tarshard Choice are pretty decent backups for him, even though they dont exactly carry the freight train momentum he does. The passing game seems to be keeping their own so far this season even without the infamous T.O. As long as they keep their fingers sticky and eyes on the ball, i foresee them going pretty far this season. What goes hand in hand with that is good ol' Tony Romo. This guy is just about as surprising every week as..well..an NFL game (ex: Skins vs. Lions). Coming off 3 turnovers last week, he's got a lot to live up to ESPECIALLY after his little apology speech post game. If Tony can keep his head in the game and stop staring at the pretty blondes in the crowd, he'll do fine this season. This year, Dallas should go a decent length in the post season, just not all the way yet..maybe next year
Oh, i forgot about defense...Demarcus Ware, keep up the good work..Flozell Adams, Marc Coloumbo- lets keep the offsides, holding and tripping penalties to a minimum (yes, i know they are the offensive line but i forgot them)

Skins fan here. Just keep shaking my head. They are a mess, i predict 6-10 also. If we are lucky. We hardly beat the rams and lost to the lions...it's going to be a lonnngg season. One thing for damn sure is i'm going to save a lot of money unless they shape up and make me want to come to their home games. But for now...i'll pass.

Skins fan here also but I think 6-10 is not looking good at this point losing to the worst team in the league. I guess they've taken over as the worst or 2nd worst team in the league. I predict them going 2-14 or 3-13 if they continue driving down to the 1 yard line and not converting. Oh and kicking field goals won't win many game either.

Scoring 30 plus points per game & a Ravens QB throwing for more than 300yds per game. Who are these guys? My Ravens have done nothing but impress with the Offense. Flacco has played great, McGahee has been awesome at getting yardage, Rice & McClain are doing good too, the receivers are looking good so far, especially Kelly Washington who is finally getting a chance to shine with a team and making making some great plays for first downs. Of course we still got the great Defense too. I truly think we've got a good realistic shot to put down the pass happy Pats this week and possibly even go all the way this year. I take it a game at a time but the Ravens are looking great so far IMO.

Jets fan here and i feel really good about where this team is headed. Rex ryan has finally gave this team an identity and some fire, Not to mention one hell of a defense. And my man mark sanchez is playing great for a rookie. i couldnt be any happier. I cant wait to see how they do against NO this weekend.

Cowboys, im not suprised at the past two games and i still have a strong dislike for Romo. He is either amazing or horrible. Not good traits for a superbowl QB. Tonight will tell.
