I think that because of the Patriots dominance of the NFL for a couple of decades there are people that who are delusional. They believe that New England is an elite organization. I suppose Mac Jones could be a dark horse for MVP, not really going out on a limb there. My problem is I don’t buy the cult status given that organization. I think most of their success was because of Brady. Bill Belichick is a good coach, but he is the quintessential micro manager. The Patriots and Mac Jones will be mired in mediocrity. Belichick is that organization, there is no succession plan. Does anyone think the Patriots ownership can duplicate what they had with Brady and Belichick?

I went through every team game by game.....it helps sort out some stuff you might not think about when you just think of teams in general as Tier 1, 2, 3 etc.
1. (I am BIASED, but this could easily, and in fact SHOULD be the Bills this year....but) Chiefs. The schedule is the hardest in football. As I intamately know this team, I would say that the defense is going to be better. It's faster and deeper, and they will BENEFIT by not having Anthony Hitchens on the field. Honey Badger...love him...but he was making a ton of business decisions last season. Andy Ried was an offensive guru before Kelce and Hill and he'll be one until he dies. He's gotten production his entire coaching career out of whoever he's had, and this group of WR, while missing Hill, who is great....is deeper. The O line is really good. This is the most balanced team KC has had in the Mahomes era.
2. Baltimore. They remained very competive despite all the inuries. Lamar isn't a great passer, but he's not as bad as some claim. If they stay healthy, they should be a tough team to beat again.
3. Buffalo (OR PUT KC HERE...whatever) I think the Bills will also have some trouble with a bit harder of a schedule this season. I think the division isn't as tough as the AFC west, but Miami is better, New England isn't trash....just the Jets as pushovers. The Bills are all in for this year and there is every reason to think they should be the 1 seed and AFC champion.
4. Titans. *****THIS IS PLAYOFF SEEDING ONLY***** I don't think the Titans are the 4th best team in the AFC...they will just win their garbage division. Henry is getting old. Tannehill is getting older and his target group isn't better than last years. Their O line isn't great. They will rely on a decent defense, good coaching and an easy shedule to get into the playoffs with a very underwhelming record.
5. Chargers. (or this could be KC too) I think the Chargers and the Chiefs are the 2 real contenders in the AFC west...whoever doesn't win the division, ends up with the 5 seed. I would say that even last year, the Chargers have a ton of talent and BAD coaching. Staley is supposed to be a defensive guru...they were horrible on D. And Joe Lombardi clearly isn't the kind of O Coordinater who has any business running his own show on offense. He clearly just did what Sean Payton told him to do in new orleans...calling a TON of short passing plays designed for Drew Brees when he has a stallion at QB. They should be big time contenders, but their coaches aren't equal to it.
6. Cincinatti. Super Bowl hangover, plus some regression to the mean on some stuff....too much talent not to make it, but last year was something of a mix of fluke and luck, AND talent all coming together at the right time.
7. Cleveland. ...So here is the thing. as I said, I went over everyone game by game....and the roster is talented enough to put some W's on the board until Watson is around...whenever that is. I think there is enough favorable schedule wise that they can grind out enough W's to eek into the final playoff spot.
8. Miami. The picture of average, with good parts and pieces all over the field, but some tough games, and a QB that isn't quite big time enough to pull a few out on his own, leaves Miami on the cusp.
9. New England. Good coaching, and I think Mac Jones is pretty good...but they just don't have enough around him and the OC crap show they got going on isn't good.
10. Denver. You might think this is low. Denver isn't a horrible team..and Russ is a big upgrade at QB. But Chargers and Chiefs in division, along with coaches all accross the board who are all new to their roles....plus some of Denvers skill positoin players being kind of overrated....I don't see them making it in....Vegas only has them at over/under 9.5 I'm not sure 10 is enough to get in, and I am not sure Denver gets to 10 this year.
11. Indy. Count me among hte few who aren't buying Matt Ryan...and who think the Colts offense is a bit overrated even without him. They are in a winnable division, which will keep them in contention all year, but they are a pretender.
12. Raiders. I am really low on these guys. Their line sucks. They don't have a good RB. They have good pass rushing ends...but if they don't muck things up, the secondary and LB's aren't good either. They had a TON of items that should regress to the mean...and this is probably a 6 win or so team at most.
13. Jacksonville. I think they also, like the Colts, COULD maybe stay in contention for a division title by being in a bad division for a while....but they are at least another year and more roster turnover away from making any noise.
14. Houston. ....clearly in the early stages of a complete rebuild. IT's all about seeing of Mills is a worthwhile QB or not. That's all.
15. Jets. Even after what some say was a great draft, this roster isn't good or deep at any spot and Wilson is hurt....and he's NOT IT anyhow. I saw enough last year to believe he's just not an NFL QB. The Jets are destined to bringing in yet another coach and GM next year becasue the QB the current guys bet on, sucks.
Have the Steelers been disbanded?

F is pronounced ef and thus “an” is correct vernacular. It’s a vowel sound. I took English in tenth grade.
I think the confusion lies with “FA” and it’s use as an abbreviation for “free agent”. For example “OBJ is a free agent” is correct, but technically so is “OBJ is an FA”.

If you had asked me before this post what position I was least worried about, I would have said WR. You all have upset me so much I’ll now spend my days searching the waiver wire (is that even still a thing?). Damn you! Damn you all to hell!

Broke my seven year old heart when I watched him and the Chiefs kick our asses in the ‘66 AFL championship game. Always liked him and those Chiefs teams and rooted for them often, especially during SB IV against the Vikes.
Travel well, Len Dawson.
I was at that game, knew it was over for that Bills team. Other than that game, like you, I rooted for that Chief’s team.
“Leonard” could certainly “matriculate” the ball down the field.

Agreed. To be fair to Barkley, the guy is in probably one of the best #3 QBs in the league though.Remember when people thought Barley would be the number 1 pick in the draft.

This has nothing to do with anything, but I was at a Jefferson Airplane concert at SU when some idiot stole Ernie Davis’s Heisman Trophy. It was on display at Manley Field House. It was later returned.

Hilarious. Super nice guy. He’s now 74 and while retired has done some work for the Pegulas and drives for Uber on the side. I should have taken a picture but I didn’t want him to think we were making fun.
So instead of taking a photo, out of concern for Mr. Kilcore’s feelings, you thought you would tell this group of people?

Fans can be optimistic. Sully and the gang are supposed to try to be objective. And the Bills were objectively terrible for years.
Also, who reads Sullivan anymore? Or ever did? With the total availability of different media these days, why would anyone bother?
I’ll read Sullivan and others out of curiosity. It’s not like it costs me anything other than time. I love reading about the Bills for better or for worse. I haven’t lived in Buffalo for a long time, pre-internet I’d buy newspapers to read three sentences about the Bills.

If you think Jerry Sullivan is “The biggest douche bag in the world.” You need to get out more.

Sullivan has made a career out of being a pessimist. He calls himself skeptical, but I don’t think he ever believed in the Bills. It wasn’t exactly going out on a limb being pessimistic about the Bills and Sabres over the last few decades. I prefer to be optimistic probably to a faulty. I find it too exhausting to be pessimistic. Being skeptical is at times prudent and not as exhausting. In this article Sullivan has six points only two have some validity, “Is the defense as good as its record?” and “Is Sean McDermott a Super Bowl head coach?”. The defense was good when playing with a lead, the run defense was at times terrible. The interior of that line needs to be better, hopefully the new additions will help that. McDermott has to own that “13 seconds”, that was bad coaching. We can try and place blame elsewhere, but that’s obfuscation. I like McDermott, but he has to win the big one.

The counter argument I’ve heard from people who watched him play (including non-Jets fans) was that he pretty much carried his Jets teams by himself. He was before my time so I can’t speak to how valid that is.
I saw Namath play a lot, that team that won the Super Bowl was a very good team. Later in his career Jets were not good. Namath’s biggest problem was injuries. He was in the league for 12 years, I think he only played 6 or 7 full seasons. His career and stats in today’s NFL would be very different.

Have not seen the series, but I suppose that is plausible. Victory over the Colts was certainly proof that the junior league was competitive. Namath was slowed by injuries. He was a dynamic player when young. You can't really compare stats from that era. Anyway, I see why some folks might nominate him; just wanted to push back.
The merger was announced on June 8 1966, Super Bowl III was played two and a half years later. Namath being drafted by and subsequently signing with the Jets had more to do with the merger than that game did.

Completely different era. You don't have the merger without Namath. My answer is pretty much always the same: Gugny.
If you watch the documentary series Full Color Football the merger had more to do with the Giants poaching Pete Gogolak than it did Namath. That move set off a wave of players being signed and changing leagues. NFL owners did not want a bidding war for players.
