What Team Has Impressed You The Most So Far?

In my opinion it's the Falcon's in a slam dunk. I mean it's not even close.

Everyone knew the Giants were a great team before the season started. So sure they are very impressive, but they're also defending champs. They'll likely be playing the NFC Championship game in the Meadowlands this year, but this thread asked which team impresses me the most, not what team is the league's best.

Atlanta has a new coach, a rookie QB, and was picked by most people to be the worst team in the league this year. They were coming off one of the worst off-field disasters in NFL history with the Vick thing. All they've done is go 8-4 in the league's best division right now. They are a legit team on both sides of the ball, and Matt Ryan looks like he'll be one of the best QBs in the game for the next 10+ years.

They are exceeding expectation by leaps and bounds. If you would have told me in the preseason that heading into week 14 the Falcons would be 8-4, I would have told you to go jump off a bridge.

And watching the way their D gets after the QB makes me so jealous. Sigh...

Giants impress me the most.. Falcons surprise me the most.

Giants impress me the most.....Falcons surprised me the most and the chargers are the biggest disappointment

Is the criterion what team is all around the most impressive or what team has most exceeded your expecations? For the former, wow, I don't think I have been as consistently wrong about a team over a two year period in any sport as I have been about the Giants. I didn't think they'd make the playoffs last year, I didn't think they would beat Tampa, Dallas, or Green Bay, and I thought they'd lose by 40 to the Patriots, I thought they would take a major step backwards this season, and I thought they'd lose last weekend. I am finally coming to terms with the fact that they are one of the great teams.

As to the latter, Atlanta is great but if you had told me in August that Vince would be essentially deactivated and Tennessee would be 11-1 I would have thought that was pretty crazy. Also, how about Miami? They are proving what you can achieve when you don't beat yourself (the Chargers would be the inverse of that).

All in all it's been great this year to see some of the old powers fade. This is the first truly wide open season in a long time. Lovin' it.

Our opponent this week, the Baltimore Ravens.

I would have to say the Giants. The Jets impressed me until last game they played.

This is kinda close for me.

- Giants for obvious reasons, they are the Patriots from last year.
- Falons, didn't they have a QB that used to run, instead of pass?....what was his name.
- Redskins, we are not supposed to have the record we have. Long way to go.
- Dolphins, what a difference a good GM makes, and Chad P is the QB??? That's a suprise!

It has to be the Falcons. Looks like a brand new team down there in Atlanta. MIchael who?

I didn't think the Bucs would be 9-3 at this point.

And I'm "impressed" with just how awful the Jaguars have been this year.

You and me both. They've played decent ball, however they aren't closing games like they did last year. And considering their leading receiver is a guy who was an outcast last year and himself even considered retiring...

Since several teams have been mentioned, I'll throw the Jets out there. Granted, it helps picking up Brett Favre, who is an improvement over Chad Pennington (Just don't tell Miami that), Thomas Jones is having a career year (on pace for 1450 yards, 15 TDs), and their defense has been very stingy against the run (Ranked 4th). They are leading a division that was supposed to be Pats 1, Bills 2.
