Bigger Surprising Start To the Season?

Adams is also pushing 90 I believe, so maybe he's getting a little antsy

Denver hands down for me. That whole city was ready to run McDaniels out of town before even coaching a single game and really who could blame them. I thought they would be lucky to win 6 games all year, now they are one of the powerhouses of the AFC.

I didn't see the Titans starting 0-6 but at the same time it's not as surprising as the Broncos 6-0 start.

I think Denver for the reason Matty says and for the whole off season QB controversy. They looked like a disaster and I didnt see them doing much this year and now it looks like they could clinch the division by Halloween. Amazing.

Kyle Orton was the last starting quarterback taken in our Fantasy Football draft. I ended up taking him, thinking I wasted a pick. Everyone in our league thought he was damaged goods after being in Chicago. It's amazing what a new setting and scheme can change the fortunes of a player. Look at Cedric Benson, he left Chicago a bum and is blossoming in Cincinnati. What does that say about Chicago's offense. Obviously they were not getting the most out of their talent. I think that's happening in Washington. The Skins are going to give up on Jason Campbell and he will be a good player elsewhere.

If you guys noticed, the Broncos signed a lot of reasonable priced FA's, made some nice trades, drafted well and they are producing, which attributes to the teams Success. Moral of the story, they didn't spend almost $200 Million on 3 players.

You mean we can pick up Ramsey and start where we left off a few years ago? Glory, glory hallelujah! Why haven't we dumped Woodson and got our real QB back yet?! :smashfrea

So much for going away from Redskins talk :doh:

I'd have to go with Tennessee. Granted, I didn't think the Broncos would be very good, but I thought the Titans would be a team competing for a playoff spot again. Now, their season is pretty much over and Fisher may lose his job. Bigger surprise there for sure.

They're close but no way in hell did I expect the Bronco's to be 6-0 with a top ranked defense and Kyle Orton throwing the ball around with a 90+ QB rating.

Titans, bastards are trying to steal our QB for the draft.

Also while we're at it what are the chances the following young guys win a Super Bowl:

Matt Ryan

Adrian Peterson

Calvin Johnson

Josh McDaniels

Jay Cutler

Joe Flacco

Mark Sanchez

I will say the play of K.Orten and how Denver is playing as a whole. That does not look like the guy from Chicago.

You're right -- and here's the reason: Orton languished in Chicago because Lovie Smith is a defensive guy. Translation? Defensive minded head coach means boring, predictable, timid offense. McDaniels comes from the offensive side of the game, so Orton can now finally play offense the way it was meant to be played.

Tennessee's implosion doesn't completely surprise me. Unless you're the New England Patriots, it's extremely difficult to come back the following season and compete at a very high level. Winning games in bunches usually occur in a small window in the NFL. It's usually the downward spiral that lasts the longest.

In Denver's case I think they got hot early and are just playing with a ton of confidence right now. But I could totally see them folding early in the playoffs.

That being said, my surprise early on has clearly been Brett Favre. Teams have to account for more than just Adrian Peterson now. I knew he had some gas left in the tank, but my god. He's on his way to the Pro Bowl again and the Vikes rise and fall with his performance this year. If they can lock up home field advantage, I think they'll even take the Saints.

The Broncos success is more surprising. A defensive rebound would have been one thing, but they've gone from awful to great in one offseason.

Take notes, Redskins offense.

Did you hear Bud Adams yesterday? Basically gave a "strong suggestion" that Fisher better start playing Vince YoungIsn't it painfully obvious that Vince Young isn't an NFL competent passer though? The Titans would be better off seeing what the heck Patrick Ramsey has learned in the last four seasons. He has to be the best player on that roster at that postion, more or less by default.
