So who are the top 3 teams in the NFL right now ?
that is a tough one.
I think San Fran is number one. even with the loss.
none of the other teams stick out to me as overly dominating just yet. I would lump Buffalo, Philly, KC, Miami and Det into the next level.
this is all with the understanding that one or two key injuries derails a team.
San Francisco when healthy
Never can count out teams with ELITE QB’s
Kansas City
Buffalo
Philly isn’t playing as well this year and maybe there’s enough tape to make them struggle. Still a ver good roster.
Miami is video game fun but when the pressure was on they looked bad
Detroit has to be in the conversation. No longer can we look at them as a flash. They have a complete roster and Goff is in control of the offense.
But looking at this year there a at least 6 teams besides those mentioned that can win a one game playoff series
W.C.Fields "I spent 50% of my money on alcohol, women, and gambling. The other half I wasted.
The Eagles are 5-1 and have had a few close games and finally a loss Sunday. Now the brunt of playing a 1st place schedule will begin.
Dolphins
Chiefs
Bills
49ers
Seahawks
Of course 2 games with division foe Cowboys and Washington and the Giants. 7 of their last eleven will be a tale of the tape.
So 7 of their next 11 will come against division winners, playoff teams and teams with winning records.
Hurts last year
22 TD’s 6 ints
This year
7 TD’s 7 ints.
Should be interesting

Good post.
The last interception hurts had in that game against the jets was inexplicable. They showed it from hurts point of view, a receiver standing there 12-15 yards downfield with a defender standing 3 feet to his left and one 3 feet to his right. You couldn’t have shot the football out of a cannon and got it to the receiver in time. Easiest pic ever.
I’m not one to say the game was fixed but if anyone said so after seeing that play I wouldn’t have any reasonable argument.

Coaching. Run the ball. Make the jets use their last time out and punt. Make a futile offense go the length of the field to best you.
All these new analytics are not a substitute for good old common sense and coaching.
Time management seems to be a completely lost art.
A team needs to hire me for $1M to tell the coach don’t be an idiot. Punt, take the field goal. Don’t run from the 1 with no time outs. I mean the analytics guys make that and he’s an ass.

Yes Sirianni trusted hurts not to do something dumb on that play and it backfired big time. If hurts couldn’t find an open receiver he should have ran it or even taken a sack.
But yes like you said run the ball and use clock.
Hurts decision making seems to be a lot worse this year so far than last year.
One thing I noticed about Purdy during Sundays game is his ability to escape from pressure is far below some of the other top line QB’s.
If the rush gets to him he’s about as easy to sack as Winnie the Pooh.
Come to think of it he looks kind of like him too. 🤔

Besides the Dolphins-Eagles who’s everyone watching today? Of course my main focus will be the bills but the Ravens- Lions game is an interesting one. Can the Lions go on the road and beat a good defense? I’m betting they can.
Chiefs-Chargers. The Chiefs haven’t lost it a team with a losing record in a long time. I think after Kansas City wins Staleys hot seat gets hotter

Pats Bills in the early game. I'm at the point where I'm not worried about wins and losses. Scratch that. Don't want wins. Playing Buffalo so a W isn't on the menu.
I had a very small inkling that this could be a loss for the Chiefs. But I doubt it.

In the meantime, Tampa is showing they don't have what it takes. Their running game is nonexistent. They are in a very weak division. It would be nice to have one dog in the playoffs. For me it will be Tampa or the Eagles. Neither of them will last long if they don't perk up.

Did I hear that correctly on the CBS halftime show? The last 27 targets to Travis Kelce has resulted in 27 completions? Mahomes to Kelce is 9 for 9 today, 9 for 9 last game vs Denver, and 10 for 11 vs Minnesota, so I guess that is the case. Wow!

Injuries definitely play into it.
Diggs is really their only big play guy, I do think Cooks is definitely one of the better backs they have had.

your team reacquired Hardman and there are rumors of them trading for Marquise Brown

Yes I like them getting Hardman back. He’s valuable even just for screens and jet sweeps. Don’t know why the jets didn’t play him.

they played their Super Bowl against Miami a few weeks ago
