What a weird year in the NFL. Seriously.
[list]
[*]Want to bag on a team? I give you the Detroit Lions. Their chances of making the playoffs are on serious life support (6.6% chance), so what's changed? I mentioned months ago that it was possible they just don't have the fight or grind in them after blowing and choking away 2 seasons where they were arguably the best team in the NFL. Is their window closed?
[*]Along that vein, what happened to the Tampa Bay Bucs? Or even the Washington Commanders? I get it, Jayden Daniels has missed a decent part of the year but they look like complete ass. Add the Baltimore Ravens. And the Kansas City Chiefs. Maybe a handful of decent teams, but a buttload of mid to horrible teams.
[*]So those fans that live in Minnesota and have PTSD about the Packers every year, how do you feel about Jordan Love now? How many more games do you need to see from him to feel that he's probably much closer to above average than great?
[*]JFC, Drake Maye. You're smoother than a fresh jar of Skippy. Nothing but major props to that kid.
[*]Ashton Jeanty: overrated? Probably too early to say, but 3.7 yards a carry isn't 'generational' to me, despite the team you are on.
[*]The Tush Push keeps getting less effective every year. Refs aren't letting their guards fire off the ball a millisecond early or line up illegally anymore which diminishes the effectiveness greatly.
[*]Dallas is the most underperforming organization in NFL history for all the media hype they get EVERY...SINGLE....YEAR.
[*]The strangest thing this season is all the low-yardage games by QBs this year, its amazing. Josh Allen threw for 130 yards yesterday. Mayfield 145 yards. Take a stroll through various boxscores of games throughout the season and they are everywhere, for every team, almost consistently weekly.
