Which over-hyped team showed its true colors?

I was going to pick the 49ers, but I'm going to go with the Redskins. Since I live in the Bay Area I heard a lot about the "Play off Bound" 49ers and it would make me gag. But nationally I heard a ton of sunshine being sprayed about the Redskins. For what??? They looked awful against Philly and they looked REAL bad today. I did not understand why their band wagon was soooo crowded but I think they were exposed today.

I don't think they looked awful today. They had a chance to win. And if they looked awful against Philly, it matters little, because they won a game they weren't supposed to.
Chicago has to get my vote. They're offense is simply putrid. They were supposed to have the "best" D in the league and were squashed by a Cowboys O-unit that is not really anything special. They are 1-2 with the one win a narrow escape against a horrible Chief club. Super Bowl favorite? I don't even see this team making th playoffs

The poor Bears have been taking heat since their first game that they lost. I heard many national sport talk shows talk about the dominant Redskins at 2-0. The 'Skins looked bad in their two wins and showed that they has issues. The media only went after 2-0, just like they did with the Lions. Both got exposed today for a closer resemblence to what they really are, 'Skins being the most.

I agree with you that the Skins are weak, but i don't think they were as highly evaluated as you are saying. I know the Bears are pre-season favs and they just don't look good at all. Their only saving grace from Grossman was a stifling D. But that D looked dead. And as of now, the Skins may look bad, but they have a better record than Chi.

I still think the Bears will salvage their season and make 9-7 or 10-6 type finish. The Redskins, however, won't make it to .500 despite ESPN's and SI's fluffy comments about them. Thank You Noon, it was fun!!

I don't think so. Chi has struggled thus far and have practically nothing to offer offensively. Their defense is over worked because of so many 3 and outs. I think we both made valid choices for poor teams, but I think the Bears were hyped, as you say, higher. So therefore they are more disappointing. Both should miss the postseason.
