Agree that their D is balling and it is because of tangible changes + health rather than just running good but they did get some nice reffing in that game as well.

Gallup was PI'd in the end zone and not called, few other PI's were close. Chiefs had to be thinking where was this leeway in the SB.

Offense still looks like Hill is the only player on the field that can threaten teams. Kelce has gotten better last few weeks but brutal drop led to Mahomes INT.

ftr i'm only being like half serious

they might be a top10 team, but maybe just

Lions best 0-9-1 team ever?

(Also prolly the worst?)

Taysom Hill clearly has some incriminating photos of someone

Maybe Peyton likes to hang out with Urb.

Why are the Saints still pretending Taysom Hill is a thing.

"Taysom Hill, hobbled by injury, has appeared in seven games this season, completing seven pass attempts for 56 yards. He has 20 carries for 104 yards." Source: ESPN

And People wonder why Bill Belichick can stay at the top year after year.

He's competing against morons is how.

Cool! He could end up getting paid exactly what he's worth.

Compiling some rankings ahead of time... if the Giants beat the Bucs though...

WEEK 11 RANKINGS

ELIte

1. Cardinals (9-2)

Hasn't been a murderer's row of teams with Kyler out but going 2-1 with wins @SF and @SEA is prettay, prettay good. They're the best in a year of no truly great teams. But admittedly I am not following the Kyler injury very closely so I'm not accounting for how serious it is.

The Hall of Very Good

2. Bucs (7-3) (up 3)
3. Packers (8-3)
4. Rams (7-3)
5. Bills (6-4) (down 3)
6. Chiefs (7-4) (up 2)
7. Cowboys (7-3)
8. Titans (8-3) (down 2)
9. Pats (7-4)

Bucs aren't elite because they are dogshit on the road. WTF Bills, making me look bad -- actually I like decent value on SB bet if they lose another soon, which could happen with their next 3 (@NO, NE, @TB). Chiefs definitely back. Cowboys are still good. Titans probably dropping completely out of this tier next week when they lose to the Pats.

The Good

10. Ravens (7-3)
11. Bengals (6-4)
12. Colts (6-5) (up 3)
13. Chargers (6-4) (down 1)
14. Browns (6-5) (down 1)
15. Vikings (5-5) (up 2)
16. Niners (5-5) (up 2)

No comment, this tier is Russian roulette. Vikings/Chargers/Colts just take the points whenever you get them.

The Bad

17. Saints (5-5) (down 3)
18. Eagles (5-6) (up 4)
19. Steelers (5-4-1) (down 3)
20. Raiders (5-5) (down 1)
21. Panthers (5-6)
22. Broncos (5-5) (up 1)
23. Seahawks (3-7) (down 3)
24. Football Team (4-6) (up 1)
25. Dolphins (4-7) (up 2)

The Ugly

26. Falcons (4-6) (down 2)
27. Bears (3-7) (down 1)
28. Giants (3-7)
29. Jets (2-8) (up 1)
30. Texans (2-8) (up 2)
31. Jaguars (2-8)
32. Lions (0-9-1) (down 3)

Bills are not the best team in the AFC. They're lucky they finish with home games vs Falcons and Jets because without that they might miss the playoffs. Not outside the realm of possibility they lose to Siemian this week.

It's hard to give the Titans a pass for that mess (especially since they also lost to the Jets) but the weather was insane and they didn't have their RB1, RB2 and WR2, and their WR1 and WR3 left early. Should have everyone back before post-season and have an easy schedule to get there.

Seahawks and Russ are really, really bad. Should just shut him down for the season, fire Pete and regroup

Lions finally sit atop their throne

Having one elite team is not a bad idea.

The Titans and the Patriots are NOT 'Hall of Very Good' teams.

I remember someone posting that lions head coach meat head pre season presser. What a moron

I'm kind of liking how Pitt is coming together - you can see how their play is affected by injuries - last week it was offense hurt, this week defense. Healthy, it seem pretty clear they're the best team in their division. Their offensive line is going to be mediocre at best keeping them from being a top tier team, but if they can get healthy the last 6 games, they will be very good.

wow

glad GB took a tumble and to minn aswell. hurts their PA but at least they seem to put a clamp on the run. Cook was on for a big night.

Did you watch their games against the cowboys and bucs...also lol using SOS this year to mean anything

this is amazing - don't think I've ever seen a crowd chant cross over from another sport at this level of intensity. I guess they really don't like him.

That's next level hate. Which is well deserved by Nagy.

Damn now that's some sweet hate.

Losses to Miami (25), New Orleans (17), Bucs (2) and Cowboys (7), but those latter two are by very thin margins.

I like the analysis. To me just eyeballing, that makes them the 8th to around 12th best team or so.

Pats are just well coached, solid, not flashy, strong defense. I think teams with more talent at skill positions can brute force them but there aren't a ton of those teams this year.
