Football Real vs. Mirage teams at the 8/17ths point of the season.

**Rain Man** · 11-08-2022, 02:30 PM

Looking at all of the teams that are 6-3 or better, which ones are legitimately good teams in 2022, and which ones are a mirage thriving on luck or scheduling?

Poll coming faster than a Khalen Saunders pass rush.

The Chiefs are not a real good team. Their poor special teams play has directly factored into all of their losses so far, nearly cost them another loss in the Titans game, and a missed extra point against the Bills meant the Chiefs, down by 4, had to score a TD on their final drive. KC barely squeaked by the 2-6 Faiders (at HOME!) and lost to the Colts who are now 3-5-1 and recently changed out their head coach. The illusion has been created that KC can score from anywhere on the field, but that is not the reality. The Chiefs' running game is more miss than hit, and KC is 28th in the league for most penalty yards assessed (9.3) per penalty.

Go root for the Titans if you want a team that doesn’t do that shit. I’ll stay with the Chiefs thank you very much

So, ignore the fact that they lead the league in points per game by a good margin, because their kicker occasionally misses extra points.

Thanks for the insight.

Yes, "they lead the league in points per game by a good margin"..but the Chiefs still have 2 losses. How do you explain how that happens?

And Butker misses too many 3-pointers. He's 32nd in the league this year in FG percentage made (62.5%), and tied for 27th in Extra Point percentage made (92.3%).

Check out the Chiefs' running offense and turnover differential statistics through your rose-colored glasses.

I'm not saying they're in the bottom third of the league overall. But I am saying that they have too many flaws in certain key areas.

Explain how that happens? They’re on pace for a 13-4 record. Why should they apologize for that?

It was obvious to everyone that the Colts game was a fluke that required a lot to go wrong.

The last thing I’m worried about is Butker. Especially after he recently set a Chiefs record by drilling a 62 yd FG.

I picked my favorite football team The Kansas City Chiefs to be the only good for real team and all other teams are mirage.

The Chiefs offense is #1 in EPA per drive, and the gap between them and the #2 offense (Buffalo) is the same as the gap between Buffalo and the #18 offense (Chicago).
