Football At the halfway point of 2016, who is the best team in the NFL? - Page 4

tk13 · 12:02 AM

Still one game to go on Monday night, but we're pretty much at the halfway point of the season. Only 5 AFC teams have a winning record. The NFC isn't doing too much better. Believe it or not, the Chiefs have the 4th best record in the league. Early favorites Pittsburgh and Minnesota have faltered, Dallas is hot, Oakland is contending for the first time in a while, and the Patriots just traded away one of their most talented defenders. Who is the best team in the NFL? Poll coming.

Barring significant injury NE will continue their Rape 2016 tour all the way to the Lombardi.

Why aren't Chargers listed? Best 4-5 team of all time.

I have to agree. The Patriots should steamroll through that schedule. Seahawks are the toughest game left. HFA is all but guaranteed. I will be happy with a first round bye for the Chiefs. Who knows? Maybe we can shock the world and come out of Foxborough with a win in January. Unlikely, but stranger things have happened.

I think that your Chargers are about to go on a little winning streak that will put them right in the playoff hunt. At he Texans, Dolphins and Bucs at home the next 3 games should all be wins. Browns are a gimme. And I think that the Chargers can win against the Panthers and the Fade. Head into KC on week 17. KC has clinched a bye, but NE has clinched HFA, so the Chiefs rest their starters and you guys get another win to finish out 11-5. Drop one, and your still 10-6, which should get you in the playoffs while the Donks are on the outside looking in at 4th place in the division with a 8-8 record.

I hate Dallas... more than any team ever, but it's hard to not be impressed with the streak they're on and how they've done it with rookies at QB/RB leading the way. Dak has truly impressed and he's getting it done without leaning on Dez.

The Patriots are going to be the odds on favorite for the umpteenth time as long as they avoid major injury.

They are 3 games up in the division and nobody is going to touch them there.

Rams
Ravens

Jets

Seahawks will be tough, they might sweat a bit @ NJY and @ MIA... hopefully, Denver can create issues for them in Denver, but not if they play as they did last night.

The Patriots will soundly defeat the 49ers, Jets, Rams, Ravens and Dolphins... that's 13 wins, and that's HFA. That's the AFC title game in NE.

Can the Raiders win there? I dunno... I don't see any other contenders winning there. Barring injury, they're the team from the AFC.

Problem is, SD will let every team they play compete for the win.

@ HOU, @ CAR... Raiders and Chiefs - those are going to be 4 very hard games for the Chargers to win. They have absolutely no room for error.

Miami and Tampa will give them everything they want as well.

Patriots win another Super Bowl NFL is rigged and or they cheated (again).

I don't see how they can be so good for so long.

They've had sanctions and draft picks taken away with star player suspensions. Just how bad is the rest of the league to allow them to have so much success?

Garcia Bronco · 11-07-2016, 04:43 PM

New...wait for it...England. New England.

It's their division. It's shit and has been shit for the better part of two decades. Hats off to the Pats. They have made it that way. The Pats force the other teams to make frequent changes that just don't work.

sedated · 11-07-2016, 04:45 PM

Cowboys will put Romo back in at QB and he'll start shltting games away again.

JoeyChuckles · 11-07-2016, 04:50 PM

I still think Dallas will get figured out a bit. And I think one of Arizona, Carolina, or Seattle will figure it all out and go on a long winning streak.

Part of it is that they are willing to do things that other teams won't.

They have no problem cutting popular players, not re-signing FA's, etc. They firmly believe in Next Man Up - and that anyone who buys into the system will be successful in the system.

Hell, they just traded arguably their best defensive player in the middle of the season. Imagine us trading Hali in the middle of 2014 because he was freelancing and about to become a part time player?

Other teams are ****ing reeruned, and hang on to players to long, dole out huge contracts that they'll never see value on, etc.

And the teams in the AFCE are the worst about it - they are chasing their tails trying to keep up, making more mistakes in the process.

On every ESPN show today at some point they talked about the Raiders possibly being the biggest threat to NE in the playoffs, and on every one of those segments someone refuted the idea with the Chiefs being the biggest threat.
