They are real if your .500 or under. When they hit the 4 week stretch(10-13) of playing teams leading they're division, or at contending, we'll see how "for real" they are. I'm also still confused why people think Tampa is still a "real deal" team. It's quite obvious they just aren't getting it done this year. Unless they pick it up, they won't be going anywhere this year.
Tampa gets respect because they won the super bowl. They have a lot of injures on D this year which is obviously hurting them.
I agree that the difficult stretch of the schedule is coming up, but really look at the teams that your talking about.
First 4-3 Buffalo. They have played New England, Jacksonville,Miami, Philly, Cin., NYJ, and Washington. They are 1-1 against teams over .500.

Next up is 5-2 New England. They played Buffalo, Philly,NYJ, Washington, Tenn.,NYG, and Miami. 2-1 against teams over .500.

Then 5-1 Carolina who played Jacksonville, Tampa, Atlanta,NO, Indy and Tenn. 1-1 against teams over .500

Finally 4-2 Miami who played Houston, NYJ, Buffalo,NYG, Jacksonville and NE. 1-1 against teams over .500.

Who really have any of these teams played? Each other?
Carolina played Indy and Tenn and split 1-1.

My real point is the league is so wide open and the distance between the good teams and the average teams is close. There are no great teams anymore. The last of the great teams were the 94 Niners and 95 Cowboys.

When the schedule came out , everyone said the tough stretch was at the beginning for the Cowboys. Atlanta, NYJ,NYG Philly.
