The Colts can't stop the run, Joe.

5. Who's the favorite now in the AFC?
Allen: The San Diego Chargers are the best team in the AFC. They would be undefeated if it weren't for some poor coaching decisions in their loss to the Ravens. There aren't many weaknesses on this team. The one weakness teams thought they could exploit at the beginning of the season was quarterback Philip Rivers, but he has turned into a strength. This team is playing excellent, aggressive football and can play any style. If a team wants to try to get into an offensive shootout, the Chargers can oblige, and if an opposing team wants to play a smashmouth game with a lot of running, the Chargers can do that, too. But what separates them from the other teams in the AFC is their defense led by "Lights Out" Shawne Merriman. This defense has played great this season and is one of the best in the league.
Salisbury: The Chargers are the best team in the AFC right now, and I'll tell you why. They are being led by a young quarterback (Rivers) who is not playing as though he's getting his first starts this season but instead is playing as though he's a 10-year veteran. When he drops back to throw the ball, he drops with confidence, and he's backing it up with the correct throws and check downs. There were some who thought it was a mistake for the Chargers to jettison Drew Brees in the offseason in favor of an unproven commodity, but Rivers has proved the Chargers correct. He's utilizing every piece of talent on the field and looks great. He's the reason the Chargers are the No. 1 team in the AFC.
Theismann: The Indianapolis Colts are still the favorite in the AFC. They are undefeated and are winning games in different ways. Gone is the team that was soft and could win only in blowouts and in domes, and it has been replaced by a team that can win a smashmouth game late. The credit for that goes to Peyton Manning and offensive coordinator Tom Moore, who have responded extremely well to the departure of former running back Edgerrin James. Instead of trying to do the exact same thing they did in the past, Moore and Manning have changed up their game plans and made the team more deliberate, and we're seeing the results in the record.
================================================== ==
Thesmann's pick can be thrown out because he still believes Michael Vick is the leagues best QB.
The Colts still have no run D. My picks for the top teams in the AFC are the Chargers at #1 and the Broncos/Indy at #2. The Broncos could hold down the #2 spot on their own if they'd start winning games more convincingly.
What do you all think?
The Colts can't stop the run, Joe.
I agree.
1. Chargers
2. Broncos (suspect)
3. Colts
Is Marty going to be coaching the Chargers in the postseason?
Any team coached by Marty Schottenheimer is not going to win a Super Bowl.
Youre the same guy that said Mike Bell would lead the AFC in rushing right?
Negative, that was Scott. I'm the one that said he wouldn't be starting by the first regular season game.

actually i said by the second preseason game. I was wrong by a few games.
As anyone who followed the Chiefs through the years knows, this is a harbinger of the post-season Marty to come.
The Chiefs, the Browns, and that great Charger team from 2 years ago. Marty has got to be the worst postseason coach of the last 20 years.As anyone who followed the Chiefs through the years knows, this is a harbinger of the post-season Marty to come.
the teams that win superbowls are usually the teams with a good running game and good d, right now SD and Denver are the best two running teams and the best 2 defenses in the AFC so they have to be 1 and 2.
