AllYouNeedIsLovie 377 Posted September 21, 2011 Lions (wins over: @TB, KC) Bills (wins over: @KC, OAK) Redskins (wins over: NYG, ARI) I'm going with the Redskins. I did not see them beating the Giants at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Phailadelphia Posted September 21, 2011 Bills, even though they haven't played a "good" team yet. Remember when everyone was saying lolChanGailey around here after he was hired? Yeah... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shotgun 442 Posted September 21, 2011 The Redskins are the most surprising beating out the Giants and the Cardinals. Lions were hyped up before the season and the Bills played a lot of close games against some good teams so they aren't quite as much of a surprise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Duck Fallas 209 Posted September 21, 2011 As I Redskins fan, I would not even include them in this conversation. Unlike most of the football world, we Redskins fans have fully bought into Shanahan and Bruce Allen have been selling. We know that we are in a much better sot than people want to admit. I am most surprised by the Bills. Even winning close games, I would have expected them to implode. They didn't. With the Lions, they were pretty good last season. SO to see them winning is not much of a shock. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
badgers 380 Posted September 21, 2011 I'm most surprised about the Redskins. I thought they'd win 4 games at most this year. Bills I'm not totally surprised, because I could tell that they were getting better. I expected them to be one of those "fighters" like the Lions were last year, but not starting off 0-2. I'm expecting the Lions to compete for the NFC North title so I'm not surprised at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
westbrookforsix 28 Posted September 21, 2011 I knew the Skins had some potential. Even though the Bills had the easiest schedule, I did not see that coming. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

housemd 338 Posted September 21, 2011 Redskins easily...the Bills are surprising too(41-3 win over Chiefs) but Redskins are showing some force right now... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Patriots2994 43 Posted September 21, 2011 Definitely the Bills. We'll see Sunday how legitimate they really are. The Redskins beat a team with a rookie that's best secondary player is a rookie, a QB who hasn't started a season, and a run game who lost their future running back for a season. The Cardinals weren't an impressive win. The Giants have a decent offense, but the 'Skins have a decent defense. It's not impressive beating a team who's defense is missing more starters than it has on the field. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CARDINAL 205 Posted September 21, 2011 The Redskins by far. Based on all of there off and on field issues, I really thought they would start off really slow and then just have a terrible year and in the the sweepstakes for selecting Andrew Luck in the 2012 NFL Draft. That might still happen, but for Redskins fans this is a good start to the season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ride or die redskins 8 Posted September 21, 2011 Has to be the Bills for me. I am suprised by how KC is showing right now, regardless though, going into KC and putting on a show like that is impressive. As for the Redskins, I don't think it can be stated more how depleted the Giants were / are. It was essentially a B team (and at some positions C team) that they had to play week 1 because of injuries. Also, I have been a huge critic of Eli Manning over the years, and I still believe he is overhyped. He makes too many boneheaded plays to be considered an elite QB IMO. And as most people have said, the Lions arn't much of a suprise. I think everyone knew they were going to be an improved team, so a 2-0 start isn't tooo suprising.

GA_Eagle 595 Posted September 21, 2011 Only the Skins have beaten two teams that were thought to be contenders. I guess DET has too, but so far the Chiefs have looked terrible due to couple of factors so I can't really include them as a contender. I thought the Skins would surprise a bit so we'll see if they can keep this up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Glanvilles Grits 142 Posted September 21, 2011 The Lions don't surprise me at all actually. Their week 1 win did a little. But more and more I see them, the less they surprise me. They've got everything going for them. The Bills impress me the most though. That team SHOULD be god awful, for some reason, they aren't. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Turry 755 Posted September 21, 2011 A lot of people in this thread picked in the offseason and the pre season that the redskins will select number 1 overall but now there saying they are not by surprise by their 2-0 start ? LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LOL I was one of them. I didn't think they would win the games. But I'm not surprised that they have. I also was taking into consideration that I thought Rex Grossman would just be absolute garbage. Turns out, he's been doing alright. Their defense was NEVER the question for me. It was mostly QB/WR play. And I knew Hightower could run the ball. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
