Better Conference: AFC or NFC?

[bobtheflob]

It's been a very interesting Week 1 in the NFL. With Brady looking like he's done, the Colts and Chargers losing to middle of the road NFC teams at home, and the Jaguars also at 0-1, the AFC elite aren't looking too good. Only the Steelers looked good.

In the NFC, The Cowboys, Eagles, and Giants looked dominant, while the Bears, Panthers, and Saints had big wins.

Do you think the NFC may be better this year after so many years of AFC dominance?

It is one week.

But yeah it's hard to argue when the Colts/Chargers lose to one good team and one mediocore team. Cowboys beat up on the Browns defense (nothing to write home about), Eagles beat up on a horrible Rams team, Washington didn't know how to spike the ball, and the Saints beat a division rival. While those NFC teams you mentioned are good teams, we'll see how the season plays out. But I'm not arguing there could be a changing of the guard, even if it's only one week.

And the Bills looked good too.

The Bills did look good. Yeah I know it's one week. But last year the head-to-head record was even between the two conferences. Obviously the NFC didn't have any team as good as the Pats, but the Giants did get the win.

I think that with New England losing Brady, and the Colts looking like they'll miss Saturday, the AFC looks a lot weaker than it used to.

The AFC is still the better conference, but it looks closer at the moment than it has in the last few years.

This is only Week 1 though, so that could change in a hurry.

I think the NFC has taken back the title of better conference. This kind of thing will always go in cycles.

I don't know yet. I always like watching the NFC more though. It just seems more competitive within the divisions. Gotta love NFC East match ups and Greenbay December games.

AFC, just because my team's in the AFC.

After today?? NFC. Long season though. The AFC East should be very interesting this year.

Giants looked the best.

[atreyu_2020]

They beat a team that literally took 25 seconds to spike the ball.

Of all the teams this week, the Panthers, Steelers, and Bears looked the most impressive in my opinion. Panthers went in San Diego and beat an elite team and when under pressure they came on top. Steelers just walked all over an underrated Texans defense and looked dominant on both sides of the ball. Put it this way, we took our starters out by the start of the 4th quarter and that's when the Texans scored their points. That's how untouchable we were in 3 quarters.

Steelers. Panthers. Superbowl.
