Ezee I agree with those rankings. Also a lot of mediocre teams in the league right now. The Eagles and Cowboys have to be huge early disappointments so far.

The only prediction I had for this game is Myles Garrett gonna eat.

MYLES GARREETTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT EATINGGGGGGGGGG

[Philip J. Fry]

lol Cowboys.

[Skitch]

I don't give the slightest of FUCKS about stats. Was it a W or an L?

Look at all of Dak's amazing numbers!!!

Did it result in a W?

NOPE.

Congrats on your lovely spreadsheet. You should be embarrassed that you put that up and lost. Love the win and the record, still unsure my Brownies going anywhere yet. REALLY liking Stefanskis adjustments in playcalling and player usage. PLAY. TO. STRENGTHS.

[Dukefrukem]

That was some shit defense on both sides but it didn't matter. Entertaining game.

Also, TB12 threw for 5 today.

Except the Cowboys offense is still doing well, which it didn't with Rodgers in the end. But still funny.

[DFA1979]

McCarthy continues to preside over a bad defense and his play calling still sucks. I'll continue to evil laugh as Dallas' season goes into the crapper. However the NFC East is bad enough for them to win it.

Anyways the Packers looked great tonight. The Chiefs only won because Cam got the rona. They played like shit until the 3rd quarter.

POWER RANKINGS (WEEK 4):
1. Kansas City Chiefs - they struggled, but figured it out on offense against Belichick. Many other teams would continue to try the same thing over and over again.
2. Green Bay - jolly, happy Aaron Rodgers. Will be hard to vote between him and Russel Wilson.
3. Seattle - still waiting for them to face a tough defense, but similar to the Chiefs, they figure it out.
4. Baltimore
5. New England - Cam Newton on Covid is practically load management.
6. Buffalo
7. Indianapolis - could break through to the top five, but still haven't faced any elite teams.
8. Tennessee
9. Pittsburgh
10. Tampa Bay (NEW) - they seemed to have fixed their holes on passing defense last year, they have a patient QB. Watch out.

WORST FIVE:
- New York Jets - how did Gase not get fired?
- Denver Broncos - they have a win... against the Jets. And it was close.
- New York Giants
- Houston Texans - Fired coach brings them into the worst. I feel sorry for Watson who has no offensive line or running game, he deserves better.
- Detroit Lions - basically a worse version of the Falcons. In fact, this should be a shared position.

BETTER THAN THE RECORD LOOKS:
- Dallas Cowboys: I don't have the stats, but figure they've faced the toughest group of teams to open the season. Their offense is right with the Seahawks/Chiefs, but the defense is right with the Falcons. A couple of different plays and they'd probably be in top ten discussion.

-Los Angeles Rams: A dumb PI call and they'd be where the Bills are at. 3-1 shouldn't be here, but they aren't in the top ten.

FRAUDS:
Arizona Cardinals : Like, WTF? They started out so well, but now they've lost to the Lions and Panthers. Are they already figured out as frauds?

Chicago Bears: Exposed! Probably just drop to mid-tier after hey lose to Brady this week.

Nah. Hoyer fucked up twice in the red zone (once at the end of the first half and he let time expire because he didn't know how many time outs he had, and once holding the ball too long and fumbled)

Then our third string comes in and proceeds to throw 3 picks (1 was called back and 1 was a pick six that went through the hands of Edelman).

Pats needed to be prefect, and they did the exact opposite.

This was a WINNABLE game with our 2nd and 3rd string QBs and they lost the game themselves.

Needing to be PERFECT to win a game against someone sounds like a terrific team.

And I'm also talking offense. The handoffs to Hardman and counter plays were definitely a Reid move. Compare that to the boring approach that the Cardinals and Bears took, never changing strategy and continuing to get stuffed each time.

Needing to be PERFECT to win a game against someone sounds like a terrific team.

And they were for the last 22 years.

[Ezee E]

And they were for the last 22 years.

And now it's 2021.

But a rematch with Cam Newton will sure be interesting, and the Chiefs may have to be perfect.

asking your QB not to throw 3 picks or hold onto the ball too long or not forget how many time outs you have because you've been in the league for 12 years and know how it works, is what I'm talking about "being perfect"

Pats committed their first offensive penalty of the year last night.

Coaching is still top notch. Players need to execute.

L.A., Atlanta, Seattle, Cleveland. Only one team in your top ten. Either your top ten needs adjusted or Dallas isn't better than their record.

Their defense is so, soooo bad.

Nobody's perfect.

[DFA1979]

Dallas sucks right now. At some point you need to start winning. Also the Falcons gifted them their one win.

[Skitch]

Their defense is so, soooo bad.

Oh I know. I've had a huge smile on my face all week.

[DFA1979]

Someone is going to win the NFC East with a 6-10 record. I'm sure of it. Meanwhile a 10-6 or 11-5 NFC West team will miss the playoffs.

[Philip J. Fry]

Well, it seems the Browns are good.

I'd tag Skitch to congratulate him, but I don't I can do that here.

The last time I was excited about the Browns, Bernie Kosar was the qb. Still holding my breath because the last 20 years have been so devastating.

Show Spoiler

But don't think for a second this fucker isnt sitting here every sunday screaming like a lunatic for every opponent to die BECAUSE I AM

[Philip J. Fry]

The last time I remember them being sorta good was that one season where Tim Couch and Kelly Holcomb split starts and almost took down the Tommy Maddox-led Steelers.

That game was fun.

[DFA1979]

I'm glad the Browns no longer suck.

That said, fuck the Raiders.
