Or that we're watching half-baked teams without great offenses.

 

As I mentioned up thread, there are not enough high quality teams to fill the available playoff spots in the NFL.

 

Last year's Bills/Jacksonville game is a great example of what I'm talking about.

 

 

Colts, Ravens, and Chargers were all top 11 in yards.  Colts, Chargers top 6 in scoring and Ravens 13th.

This game is the polar opposite of Rams/Chiefs on MNF.  Insanely dull.

Feels like the Dallas game yesterday; same thing.

None of them are dynamic and none of them will advance beyond the good teams that play next weekend.

 

At least that's my theory.

Chargers 428 pts, Pats* 436 pts. Chiefs and Rams far ahead of everyone else though.

not a catchable ball.  Rivers was chucking it out of bounds in the area of Williams

Umm, no. I just DVRd it and took a look. Ball landed about 2 yards deep into the endzone on the fat white out of bounds strip....so it landed about one yard OOB. Definitely was catchable.

Damn I’m the total opposite. I think this game is enthralling no joke. Intense. Rams/Chiefs just put me to sleep. This one has a real pulse, 100% feels like playoff football.

Doesn’t hold water with the Chargers though, they should be seeded ahead of the Pats really.

The Bud Light King has flirted with tasting a mead, and he was willing to buy that guy an autumnal mead 

 

Is the Super Bowl when he finally tries the mead?!

 

Mead is actually pretty good.  Suspected that it might be the old fermented beverage.

That may be true but... saying none of this weekend had great offenses is just not true.  That is unless you only view like 2 or 3 offenses as great and everyone else sucks.

You're a rare breed. This game feels like a pre season game. Jackson is 2/8 for 17 yards. It's horrendous

People, pundits, personalities, and reporters talk about Allen's "accuracy issues", but rave about Lamar Jackson who has only thrown for more than 200 yards like once or twice? His issues are on full display today. Make him stay in the pocket, play QB, and pressure him then he is a worse version of Tyrod.

Yep. Rams /Chiefs version 1.0 felt like watching a 90’s era Pro Bowl. Bad

Lamar is horrendous this game and Baltimore cannot do anything. I always wondered how he would look if he had to continuously pass. Being behind necessitates that. Baltimore might want to consider putting Flacco in for the second half. They are going to have to pass a lot. 

At this point, Jackson passing probably wouldn't be a whole lot different than the Ravens running. Ravens offense all around is just bad today

Can we please stop with the “Lamar Jackson is a good QB” nonsense? He’s clearly a flash in the pan running QB who can’t throw 

 

At the moment as a passer he is still the guy he was in college and my view was always that wouldn't be good enough. He had to step up. 

 

In fairness to Jackson whereas Allen has had chances to learn to be a passer without being afraid of making a mistakes because the games were meaningless from a results perspective (I do think in the long run we will be grateful for that) Jackson has been playing meaningful football since he has been in. But playing the way Jackson has been playing since he got into the lineup is not going to provide sustainable success in the NFL.

Only if you agree to add in DeShaun Watson too.

Jackson is like watching TT squared.  Just painful passing.

I feel exactly the same about Josh Allen, but I feel the jury is still out on him.
