Who would've thought we'd have Tampa, KC, and the Bears at 2-0. Who is the most surprising 2-0 team?

I'm not really that surprised that the Texans are 2-0. They have been decent for years. The talent has been there. Schaub and Andre Johnson are legit. I don't know how Foster did yesterday or I would have added him.

Not sure. Houston is the best of the teams along with Pittsburgh, so they arent a shock to be good...but they beat Indy and at Washington which arent 2 games youd likely give them.

Houston because they have done it without Brian Cushing. Many experts said they needed to be 2-2 during his suspension...now 3-1 or better is a real possibility.

Bears

They are the only team on your list that has defeated a Super Bowl contender on the road.

I'm thinking the Bears, too. I expected the Cowboys to lose to Washington (road game with big-game atmosphere), but Chicago beating them in Dallas shocked me.

KC has a big win against SD, but that was at home with Rivers struggling with rain and a sandy vagina. Chicago's win at Dallas was more impressive, all things considered.

As for other teams mentioned: Bucs beat two other bad teams. Both Pittsburgh and Houston are surprises considering they both have beaten two quality opponents without a key player, but I considered both teams to be playoff contenders. Didn't expect that from the Bears or Chiefs.

What makes Dallas a Super Bowl contender anymore, though? An 0-2 start and they've looked terrible in both games.

Chiefs....nice win over the Chargers and the craptastic Browns

Houston is the one that I think will be in the mix at the end of the year though.

I really think it has to be the Steelers....There defense has had to win games. Look at who they have playing QB?

The prognosticators made Dallas a Super Bowl contender. Based on their talent level.I would not write them off yet.

you can write them off after this weekend...


I am really regretting selling my tickets and parking pass now...the atmosphere will be ridiculous. Of course turning $90 dollars into $600 is a pretty good trade
