"Nobody Knows Anything"
William Goldman quote is more apt for this season than any I've seen.
Roethlisberger plays the last two games against good teams on All-Madden Rookie level? Shits his pants against one of the worst secondaries in the league. New Orleans hasn't lost at home w/ Peyton and Brees since 2011? San Fran takes them out. New England gets its jejunum pulled through its ass against the Chiefs and Dolphins? They turn into the best offense in the league without a decent #2 WR to even masquerade as a #1. Cincinnati looks like a Super Bowl bet after three weeks? Now they play like KansaIowa State. This is parity. Parody, too. There are about 15 teams that could win the Super Bowl right now. Football games have turned into baseball games. The only prediction I'm going to make for the rest of the season is I have no ****ing idea what to expect. |

absolute scum team. I hate the Steelers
that bullshit they tried to pull while the Jets where in Victory formation. They are the only team in the NFL that tries that crap where the safety jumps the center. I'm happy Mangold ****ed that guy up |

The last couple years the AFC has struggled to get 6 teams above .500... the playoff teams have been pretty much it. Right now 11 of the 16 teams are above .500... going to be a wild race to the finish.
I wonder how much the reduced practice time and contact has caused this. Wild swings from week to week, every team seems to put up a couple stinkers every year. |

I concur. But if you ask Ramjackson everything is fake and staged like pro wrestling.
Or maybe it's just football when elite players are spread across a league. |

More than anything, the biggest problem is that there are too many teams out there who are flat out terrible. Jacksonville, Atlanta, Oakland, Jets, Tennessee. Flat out terrible.
One division where it's most obvious is the NFC East. Dallas and Philly are both above .500. Would you believe those teams are a combined 10-2 against sub-.500 teams? So we know the problem there. The AFC North is the heart of the next problem. I would argue you have 4 average teams fighting against each other. None of them are good. With the AFC West's schedule, would bet every one of those teams is a sub .500 team. But on paper, it looks like they're racking up quality wins because they're basically beating each other up. Why does that matter? Here's a fun fact. Would you believe there are only 4 AFC North games left? So basically, the AFC North are just playing each other and when they're not playing each other, they have a pattycake schedule where they're all playing 4 or 5 games against teams you would consider to be the 5 worst in the league. Basically, we're going to see a situation where the AFC North and NFC East are probably going to have playoff representation for really, really bad reasons. Because of their strength of schedule. In the AFC North's case, the strength of schedule on paper is going to look a hell of a lot better than it actually is. |
