Now, the ****ing slap dick Chiefs are kicking ass and the national media has been too ****ing lazy to look beyond 45 miles inward from either coast to notice that anybody else actually plays football professionally.

I guarantee you that if the 49er's or Pats were 7-0 right now, these shitstains would be talking about "dynasty" and shit like that. The Chiefs have been so bad that the only reason that they could be 7-0 is that the entire NFL decided to take a nose dive right into a shitter in the 2013 season.


This exactly!

The reality is that the CBA signed in 2011 changed everything.

There is far less offseason contact. There are no more Two-a-Days, which were vital to conditioning, scheme and camaraderie. There is limited contact during the season.

The result is that talented veteran teams have the edge due to continuity. Teams with higher turnover suffer more. Bad teams are not likely to turn around quickly.

It will probably be another five years before the playing field is leveled but parity has really never existed in the NFL, despite their intentions.

Have you noticed a decline in offensive line play across the NFL since the new CBA?

I sure have...

This, this and more of this. Players fought in the CBA to not work as hard. You could see the results of it immediately.

And only gets worse as the rules change making the game softer to the point where in due time 'old school die hards' like us will not watch anymore

Which makes the Chiefs season, with a new coaching staff and half the roster turned over, all the more remarkable.

7-0 Giants, Cowboys, Packers, Steelers = Great teams


7-0 Chiefs = Must be a down year for talent

This a million times !!

And if you play fantasy football it is definitely a down year especially for those who had players listed in that litany list of FF players done for the season this past weekend. The most I have ever seen in one weekend

I wouldn't say the talent is down, but there's a changing of the guard. A few teams are on the decline while others are struggling to come up.

I have no idea what happened to Houston and Atlanta.

Turnovers happen to Houston. Their D is still very good.

Outside of a handful of players on the Falcons, where is the talent? Especially on D.

Atlanta has been absolutely decimated by injuries. They lost one of their pass rushers (Biermann) early on and have been starting two rookies UDFA LBers because of injuries to Dent and Weatherspoon.

Roddy White has been slowed by injury since camp and Jackson has missed most of the year (and now Jones is gone for the years). They lost their FB early on and are now starting ex-Chief Patrick DiMarco and can't run the ball at all. Their O-line has been in flux all year.

Despite all that, they have been in every game and have just come up short at the end.

It seems like injuries are up everywhere this year. I'm wondering if the new CBA's limitation on hitting and practice is to blame.
