2019-2020 NFL Season Thread [ARCHIVED] Football • Page 1205

In no order:
Patriots
Chiefs
Bills
Seahawks
Rams
Lions
Saints
Cowboys
Packers
Panthers

Ravens Texans and Colts all sitting just outside and could really all be interchangeable with some of these

 

Ravens looked bad vs Steelers yesterday. Divisional game though.

 

My top ten, no order, MNF-pending:

Patriots
Eagles
Cowboys
Packers
Lions
Saints
Rams
Seahawks
Texans
Chiefs

 

But nobody said the Cowboys were done, I'm just going based off of what I've seen. I think a lot of it has to do with the media crowning them after starting 3-0.

 

That's the weird thing about being top 10 or top 15 or whatever too...being top 10 doesn't necessarily mean you have to be a good team. If there are more bad teams than good teams you can be top 10 and have tons of easily exploitable weaknesses.

 

Honestly I think the nfc North is completely up for grabs this year. I think all the teams are playing on similar levels, just each one has different strengths and weaknesses.

 

I mean that's fine but the media crowned y'all at 0-0 just as much so I don't get the whole "media darlings" argument

The media loves all you NFC East teams to death

 

how long until Jay joins his brother in Oakland?

 

30 minutes maybe

 

I do think the Bills are legit.

 

And this is how I feel about the Packers, for example. I’m really impressed with their defense, but their offense has been underwhelming despite having Rodgers at QB. Part of that is due to a lack of proven good skill position players behind Adams and Jones, but part of it is Matt LaFleur’s conservative coaching style thus far.

We’ve seen, through five weeks, the Packers offense on a roll for a quarter or two in a game and then completely lay off the gas. I believe that played a big part in them almost giving away the game to the Cowboys yesterday.

 

If they had a better QB and another good outside WR to compliment Brown, I would agree. I’ve had a soft spot for that team since McDermott was hired. They have a ton of talent on defense.

 

Bills D is certainly legit but I am not buying that offense, especially with Josh Allen

maybe we'll see if it opens up a bit more once Motor Singletary is back

 

In the beginning I had the Bills game circled as a win for the Eagles, I'm not sure now.

 

I know it's hard to gauge division matchups ever because they're just different, but the way they handled the Patriots was impressive as hell. Had Josh Allen stayed in it's entirely possible they win that game.

 

It’s too bad the Bills traded away their pick to the Chiefs that became Patrick Mahomes

 

Same for us. And it’s on Thanksgiving and Beasley coming back for the first time. Super nervous, haha

 

I’m going to be so sad if the Lions fall apart. I’m not used to having a football team I believe in. Next Monday is a huge game and I’m very nervous about it. I don’t want to be too hyperbolic but honestly that game kind of determines how the season is gonna go for me

 

Oh man

I do think Mahomes might not be the same in a vacuum on another team but at the same time the Bills have gotten like 0 shit for trading away that pick and then drafting Allen for QB while the Browns have gotten tons of shit for trading the Watson pick away and then drafting Kizer for QB

That's so unfair

 

I only saw bits of the game, but I don’t think they would have won had Allen been able to finish the game. He played real sloppy and you can’t beat the Patriots playing like that.

That said, Matt Barkley certainly doesn’t invoke confidence in me to believe they would have had a better chance with him. I really don’t think Allen is the answer for the Bills.

 

REVENGE GAME

 

just think about how good the Bears would be had they taken Mahomes or Watson over Trubisky

probably the best team in the league

 

I think it's moreso that Allen could play field position better than Barkley, not necessarily that he would've actually generated more points directly

But yeah he's not the answer for the Bills, which makes it all the more impressive as a team that they maybe could've won that game with him

 

I feel like great offense and great defense can't coexist on one team...

unless you are the Patriots.

 

Colts and Texans have both had every game be a single score game this year and especially given that the Colts beat the Chiefs I'm not ready to put the Texans in my top 10 but have the Colts out of it. They're way too close to call right now IMO.
