    Joe Brady vs Ken Dorsey- Has He Been Better?

    Clearly the Ravens and 49ers. And that is exactly how those teams are built this year. In fact this was the first offseason the Ravens made a serious effort to improve Lamar's weapons, and look at the results. 49ers might be the best of the NFC but I don't see them winning a SB.

     

    The Eagles would be 3rd for me, despite recent struggles I think they are the type of team that can turn it on in the playoffs. Their issue lately has definitely been defensive coaching. I'm not sold on Hurts as a passer though, he's inconsistent.

     

    The Dolphins are also clearly built on offensive talent, but like the Eagles they have poor defensive coaching as Vic Fangio appears to be behind the times. It also remains to be seen if a team built entirely on finesse can win tough games in January.

     

    Bengals are built that way as well, obviously this is not their year though. They lead the NFL in trash talking receivers (Chase)

     

    The Chiefs defense is built more on defensive scheming than defensive talent IMO, but they forgot the part about investing heavily in offensive talent. Last year they were a good example of that model. Crazy how lousy those WRs are, especially Valdes-Scantling

     

    I'm sure people are sick of me saying this but you need two very good or better pass catching options to seriously compete for a Super Bowl in the modern NFL. The team that wins the Super Bowl this year will almost certainly meet that standard. Right now the Bills don't even have one and it's their own fault due to lack of investment. BINGO

     

    Who in the AFC would teams rather not see in the playoffs?

    49ers lost McCaffrey and Samuel in that game if I remember.  Also think they had a couple other injuries during or before the game.

    They beat Burrow when he was on one leg after missing entire training camp and had no business playing in week 1.

    Browns are paper tigers with 1 quality win at Baltimore on there resume. 

    Browns just lost Hopkins who was in the running for AllPro Kicker. 

    Bills have some bad losses but also some good wins. All their losses are close. Bills getting healthy at the right time.  

    Lol, put down whatever you're drinking. Deebo got knocked out of the game in the 1st Q after starting a pregame fight, McCaffrey got hurt in the game as well. The "paper tiger" Browns had to start PJ Walker and they rallied from being down 10-0 vs SF. 

     

    Browns have 13 starters on IR and have won 11 games.

     

    Yes, in a few losses they looked bad (Rams, Broncos, Ratbirds).

     

    They're a dangerous & talented team.

    The Browns D is elite. 

    There O-line is decimated with injuries....yes

    Flacco still turns the ball over a ton yes

    They have played mostly garbage teams with garbage QBs. LOL...they physically destroyed the 49ers, beat the Ratbirds, Burrow. 

    Yes their D is championship level but they have not shown up in a couple games this year yes, and their entire starting secondary was out for a stretch.

     

    Browns & Bills are pretty similar.

     

    All this Lamar MVP talk will go away when they lose their opening playoff game. 

    LA doesn't care about the Chargers

    When all of these teams were moving a few years back. St. Louis Rams to the LA Rams. The Oakland Raiders to the Vegas Raiders. The San Diego Chargers to the LA Chargers. If the league wanted two teams in LA (which isn't a great NFL market to begin with) then it should have been the Rams and Raiders in LA. The Rams have a long history in LA, and they do have a fanbase there. The Raiders also have some history in LA and also have a fanbase there. The Chargers have neither a history with LA nor a fanbase there. The Chargers would have been better off in Vegas and building a fanbase in that market as they would be the only team representing Vegas. Basically, starting over in the sin city.

    Actually the Chargers started out in LA in the original AFL in 1960. They only played one season there and moved to San Diego in 1961.

     

    Here's another weird thing to me....Stan Kroenke moves the Rams to LA, his wife is a Walmart heiress. The Denver Broncos were bought by another Walmart group. How in the hell is that legal to have two Walmart-owned NFL teams?

    If dolphins and browns win and we clinch playoffs, I think they should rest guys. 

     

    If 5 seed is in play you have to go for it. Getting to play the afcs is too valuable.

    Who has the tiebreaker if the Browns & Bills tie in a wild card scenario?

    If we don’t win the division the playoff run could be:

     

    at KC

     

    at Miami

     

    at Baltimore 

     

     

    That’s not optimal.  
     

     

    Getting a home game and assuming Baltimore is the 1 seed would look something like this:

     

    vs likely 6 seed - I’d guess that’s Cleveland; Miami would be the 5 and play AFC South winner; Miami would then be at Baltimore RD 2

    at KC; maybe home if the 7 beats KC 

    AFCCG could be at Baltimore or home vs Miami

     

    Who the 7 seed will be I have no idea but they usually don’t beat the 2 seed.  

    If Miami drops their last 2, I think they'd fall to #6 (assuming they & Cle finish 11-6).

     

    Cleveland may rest guys next week, no matter what. Seems like half their team is on IR or just plain banged up.

    Seriously, they have had a lot of miserable games on Thursday this season. At the start of the season, many of the games didn't seem like they'd be so awful.

    The quality of play really varies on TNF, especially the late season matchups. The players have to dig deep & fight through the ailments they got on Sunday. 

     

    Amari Cooper probably plays if it's a Sunday game, for example.

     

    The NFL will never let it go, but TNF every week isn't a good idea.

    I'd add Shanahan in there despite the recency bias of the Ravens loss.  Those other five you mentioned had their quarterbacks from start to finish.  Stefanski's went through four different starters at QB.  I think that's an easy way for voters to differentiate him between all the other candidates.

    Shanahan is 1-3 vs the AFC North. 49ers may not be as great as they are hyped to be.

     

    I think Ryans in Houston may win coach of the year. They're 8-7, and the Texans only had 7 wins combined the previous 2 seasons.

    Don’t get it twisted… the Ravens’ defense is winning this game.  Lamar’s MVP stock doesn’t go as high as you’d think from this. 

    He's difficult to defend. If you get to him quick on a blitz, fine. Once he breaks containment odds are in his favor.

     

    20-1 vs NFC teams in his career. Obviously, seeing him once every 4 years is a part of that. AFC teams see him more often, so they have a decent idea of how to defend him.

     

    To me, the main MVP candidates are Lamar, McCaffrey, JA, Mahomes, & Myles Garrett. Remove these guys from their teams and they're .500 ish.

    One of our players almost died on the field, when the hell were we lucky last year

    Got a home game rescheduled to a dome when we should have played it in Pittsburgh or Washington.

     

    OT rules were changed due to us bitching. 

     

    There was something else but I'm hammered lol

    Our string of bad luck is really crazy. The Pats missed 4 points on kicks so far. They dropped a probable game sealing INT. Just basic things they didn't execute.

    All the luck the Bills had was last season, and it didn't matter.
