I just stumbled on this thread, but since you read the other one you probably already know, I disagree.
Teams play who are on their schedule, they don't make their own like college football. It's not fair and it is a factor to consider when rating a team, but it can't be changed.
They are the number one rushing team in the NFL, 13th out of 32 in overall defense. They win close games. Like I mentioned in another thread, their QB has an outstanding record as a starter. They went to the playoffs and beat the Packers at home two years ago, they aren't some fluke team.
I am not oblivious though, I recognize that their pass offense is weak. They lead the NFL in yards per rush, as a fan I am happy they are sticking to their bread and butter. Overrated to me is the Seahawks, who were a popular pick to go to the Super Bowl before the season started.
