This division is one of the top divisions in the league.  With the Green Bay Packers looking absolutely unbeatable and the Detroit Lions having a dream-like season.  This division has two essential playoff locks.  Unless Matthew Stafford’s shoulder remembers that it is made of Jello, they will be in the playoffs.  The Chicago Bears are going to be in a seven team race for two playoff spots.  This was not a good year for the Bears to be mediocre.   I should rephrase that, bad year for the Bears to be normal.

I finally made it to the NFC.  It’s tough to find time to write all these fuckers when you have two children under two years old.  It’s unreal how much time those two little monsters of cuteness take up.  Plus the World Series is on,  college football every night, The Office, Survivor, multiple Jersey Shore reunion shows and a bevy of other unbelievable shows (Boardwalk Empire, Dexter…)  I mean, how is a man supposed to find time to help with dinner, clean up, help with the whole children routine, watch all these shows and still get all fucked up before I ramble on about NFL football in these posts.  So without further ado…

The NFC East has been one of the most volatile divisions this year.  When you have four teams with absolutely crazy fan bases and three of the four teams with a legit shot at the division title going into the year, you have the recipe for a wild year.  The Philadelphia Eagles, New York Giants and Dallas Cowboys, have each been the favorite to win the division at some point this year.  This weekend, the Eagles and Cowboys play each other.  The winner will have the inside track to the division title.  One thing I promise is that either Michael Vick or Tony Romo will make a bonehead play this weekend and ESPN won’t shut the fuck up about it for at least three days.

They should rename this division the AFC Peyton.  Peyton Manning has absolutely owned this league for pretty much his entire career.  It’s very similar to Tiger Woods’ run on the PGA Tour.  Everyone else has been playing for second.  I would like to see the Indianapolis Colts name Manning their Offensive Coordinator for the rest of his career.  Just amazing to watch two of these AFC South teams on prime time this past Sunday and Monday play completely different games.  Indy rolled over to the New Orleans Saints and the Jacksonville Jaguars played their asses off like it mattered (which it doesn’t for them).  I get extremely vexed by that discrepancy in effort.   It vexes me very much.

The AFC West has belonged to the San Diego Chargers for a while now.  Norv Turner has been coaching them right out of the playoffs in each of those years.  I think we are starting to see a changing of the guard.  Last year the Oakland Raiders swept the division, and the Kansas City Chiefs showed some life.  Injuries have ruined KC’s chances this year but I believe they have a solid base to be competitive in the future.  Right now, the Raiders are competitive.  They will be putting pressure on the Chargers all year.  Should make for an interesting playoff chase in the West this year.

This is the year for the Baltimore Ravens.  Eveything has fallen into place for them to get a top two seed in the AFC.  Their schedule is very favorable.  They are 4-1 and they have six pretty much guaranteed wins left on their schedule (@JAX, ARI, @SEA, CIN, IND, CLE).  That doesn’t even count @CLE, @CIN, SF (three more games they will be favored in by at least three points).  Welcome to 13-3.  Plus Ray Lewis’ steroids seem to be working great on Ed Reed this year.

The AFC East continues to belong to the New England Patriots who seem to mix it up every year and find new ways to win. The New York Jets are a huge disappointment, mainly because Mark Sanchez sucks. The Buffalo Bills have a nice offense, and I am glad that they are actually competitive this year. There has been speculation over the last couple years that Buffalo will lose its team, and they would move it to a much less deserving city like Los Angeles. On a scale of 1-10, L.A. is a 1 in sports fans. Talk about people who just don’t give a fuck about sports. People in Buffalo live and die by the Bills and Sabres. They still pack the Bills’ stadium when the team sucks and it’s the insanely cold outside. The Miami Dolphins have cool uniforms.
