The AFC seems static for most of the time and it's usually easier to predict than the NFC, which seems to have more parity in my imagination.

Holding out hope after 5 games is stupid. We don't start talking about playoff teams in other sports a 1/3 into the season. Magic is asking for the notorious curse.

The Chargers will never be impressive, the old Texans have been forgotten and the franchise probably hates change.

Nah. We talk about teams going to the playoffs before the season. We already know that the NBA finals will be Heat vs. Lakers.

I was talking about the picture as it pertains to the Colts. The teams you name aren't Colts equivalent. A team like the Wizards before the Wall injury were expected to be in the position the Colts are in as of now.

5 games is way to early to be doing playoff pictures with wild card teams.

We can argue this, but I'm going to point the Bills and tell Magic to hold off on his hope.

I learned my lesson about 1/3 of the season w/ the Orioles way back. IIRC the Capitals had a rough start most of the year and then stormed into contention.

I would say the Hornets are a better example, but I digress. The point they are making is that it looks like the Colts could be a potential playoff team, and with 25% of the season done, that is not too early to predict playoff teams. We pick potential playoff teams all throughout the year. We change our points weekly.

You are right about the Bills last year, things can always change, but we can also point to The Bengals or the Texans at this point last year as well and see that they did make the playoffs. At this point in the season it is a real possibility the Colts could get hot. It's never too early to point at potential playoff teams.

they probably are a better comparison, the wolves last year are a better comparison. i'm a wizards fan so i chose them.

i never said you can't predict the teams, but notorious aka nostradamus has already decided the playoff picture, deducted the wild card teams, and the one left out. he's also given rundowns on why the other teams won't be in the picture. i'm saying it's too early for that.

i also cautioned to put a hold on hope b/c of the bills b/c 6-8 games don't tell the whole story.

let me change what i'm saying. you can do a playoff picture anytime you want, but doing so after a 1/3 of a season is stupid.

They found their answer in a series of eerily profane numbers: Sanchez, who wears jersey No. 6, has six touchdown passes and six interceptions so far. He's averaging 6.6 yards per attempt, and his longest completion is 66 yards. His passer rating: 66.6.
Throw in a pregame tweet from Tebow noting that the Jets-Texans clash was the 666th Monday Night Football game, followed by the obligatory biblical passage, and the NFL might as well start printing Satanchez jerseys in green-and-white.

So early offensive free agency possibilities floating around on insider reports and other rumors include:

Steven Jackson
Chris Johnson
Dwayne Bowe
Greg Jennings
Wes Welker
Mike Wallace

So for way too early predictions on what teams they join:

Steven Jackson to Packers
Chris Johnson to Rams
Dwayne Bowe to Miami
Greg Jennings to return to Packers
Wes Welker to Jets
Mike Wallace to return to Steelers

[Notorious]

I don't think Greg Jennings is going back to GB.

Niners Jags is next years wembley game, decent although the Jags probably weren't the best choice for the next 3/4 years to get people to buy tickets.
