This is why I didn't panic when the Chiefs were 0-2

And if the AFC North were really a joke, Pittsburgh wouldn't have demolished Indianapolis. People are expecting these results to be ordered into definable tiers. The truth is, there are a few bad teams and almost every other team is somewhere from mediocre to good, and even that spread is about as wide as a gnat's dick. The Rams went on the road against San Fran, got 100 yards passing from their QB, and won. San Fran then went into a house of horrors in New Orleans and won. Prognostication is totally meaningless this year. Most of these games are like baseball: 60-40 at best, probably 55-45 in most cases. |

Pretty much. Honestly, given the bizarrely cyclical nature of sports, I'd probably bet this is the year the Chiefs break their playoff drought given what the Royals did, which makes no sense, but nothing else does either.

I think this is really a function of the dilution of the substance of football via all the rule changes that emphasize the QB and the passing game.
There are only a couple of teams with elite quarterbacks, and you have crapshoots elsewhere. The rule changes have made it such that the team with higher rated QB wins a game 75+% of the time. It causes seemingly random outcomes. The system perpetuates itself too. If you stumble upon an Aaron Rodgers, then your coach and everyone else will be safe for a while because you win most games because they higher rated QB wins most games. This gives your franchise stability and continuity. On the other hand, if you draft Geno Smiths then your QB gets coaches fired, GMs fired, free agents don't prefer to go there over teams that do have a great QB to play with, etc. The rich stay at the top, the rest stay down fighting over scraps until they stumble upon a QB. There aren't a whole lot of elite QBs rolling off the assembly lines. And today with the Steelers and Jets you can see the difference completely. The Steelers are miles better than the Jets this year, but Rapelisberger shits himself and the Jets beat them because they were the better QBed team that day. One of the worst teams in the league beats a first place team just due to some uneven QBing. Nothing else really. I hope someone with the competition committee will eventually wake up and see that it's not as much fun to watch the NFL anymore. It's a QB's shooting gallery, not a football game. |

It's pretty crazy this season. I have never bet on sports. Especially the NFL. Even in seasons where things seem predictable, unpredictable things still happen often enough to **** me in the asshole until I'm left bleeding in the moonlight with no money in my wallet.
