Beck Water Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 AFC 3 teams with 4+ wins: Bills Chiefs Jets 7 teams with 3 wins: Patriots Dolphins Ravens Bengals Titans Colts Chargers The Bills and Chiefs are emerging as the conference frontrunners. But after that.....who are emerging as the teams to beat? With the same W-L record as the Chiefs, are the Jets emerging as Studs? They've already won as many games this year, as they did all last season. In addition to the Bills and Patriots 2x and the Dolphins again, they play the Broncos, Bears, Vikes, Lions, Jags and Seahawks. The Broncos, Bears, and Jags all have 2 game losing records. The Lions are 1-4. Outside the AFC East/Bills, the Vikes and Seahawks are the only teams on their schedule who don't have losing records. Have Salah and LeFleur finally turned it around in their second year? Are the Jets legit? They've beaten the Browns, Steelers, Dolphins, and Packers. DVOA devotees, what do advanced stats tell you? In terms of conventional defensive stats, the Jets are "meh" in the PA category (18th) but shine with 10 TO. #8 scoring offense in the league. When I think of Wilson, the word that still comes to mind is "meh". How are the Jets doing it, is it points off turnovers? Who else do you expect to see climb? Denver has a good D, so if Wilson and the offense get their act together, they could be in it. I would expect to see the Titans, Chargers, and Bengals climb back in. The Ravens puzzle me. They may get their defensive act together, but right now it looks to me as though Wink Martindale knew something. Same for the Colts - I think losing Eberflus set them back. Dolphin aficionados will be looking for the Return of Tua to bring them back into it. They play the Steelers, Lions, Bears, Browns, and Texans next, so plenty of scope there. Thoughts?

NORWOODS FOOT Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 (edited) Bill and Chiefs out way ahead. I respect the Jets, but 1) I want to see how they play us twice, and 2) I want to see what they do over the course of the season. For me the clear third team is the Chargers based on their talent.

Awwufelloff Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Yeah Jets killed the draft and already had many high draft picks last few years. How many 1st rounders are on that team? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cray51 Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Do not over-evaluate after 5 games. Jets are running a high end turnover ratio, which is not sustainable. Bills Chiefs are the team main teams in the conference. That’s it 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warcodered Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Chargers are probably the next team after Bills and Chiefs, if they can stop tripping over themselves. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dpberr Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Most teams on that list are pretenders, feasting on mediocrity. The Ravens should trade Lamar Jackson before November 1, and spend the rest of the season seeing what they've got in Huntley. It is obvious to me that coaching isn't helping Jackson make better decisions, and the team may as well get some draft capital if they can. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BullBuchanan Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 The Bills and Chiefs are the class of the conference and there isn't anyone close to them right now, but it's a long season - even longer now. The Browns have shown the ability to play big games. The Chargers have been drastically under-performing and so have the Broncos. The Raiders have lost every game by 6 or less and have a complete team that just needs to come together. Carr will always be their weak link though. The Bengals probably have too many holes to repeat, and the Titans look like a shadow of their former selves. The Fins are pretenders, and the Ravens are built to win in the playoffs unless they make drastic changes to their offense. As happy as it makes me as a Mark Andrews owner in fantasy, WR's are not a part of their scheme. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly think Tua won't be the same guy after these 2 concussions. I really hope he doesn't get another bad one this year because they can be life altering. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigAl2526 Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 I suppose it's going to be up to the Bills to deliver a smackdown to the Jets and us to deliver a smackdown to Spags when he shows up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Lamar Jackson FINALLY showing his true colors. I think he got lucky early in his career and the Roman offense was able to carry him through the first few seasons. Baltimore are pretenders. So are Miami. The Jets can win under certain circumstances. But I have to believe if you have some kind of solid defense, they can't overcome a 14 point deficit.

Ramza86 Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 The Jets are an actual QB away from being a very good football team. Wilson is like a worse version of Baker Mayfield. Does nothing for his WRs and holds the offense down. They could be lighting it up in the air with that roster. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you about the Chargers, but that's the intriguing thing to me that we see every year - teams who we expect to be better based upon talent and/or coaching fall to the wayside while other teams thrive.
