Thought id follow kc-cle for a couple drives hoping for a miracle... and that’s about enough of that

None of the morning games are very compelling

LHamar Jackson was wide open on a wheel route, so Flacco throws it out the back of the end zone

That was just bizarre. Everyone in the stadium saw it except for Flacco.

Pitt Baltimore will be interesting to see if Pittsburgh is still the team to beat in the afcn

Seems like the latest trend is to hurdle over players. Mcaffrey just did that to a Tampa defender !

 

[Wheelman]

those brownies sure love leaving wide open holes for Hunt.

 

[Wheelman]

was that myles garrett? He just owned the LT fisher.

Meanwhile, in the Flying Fish Bowl, Darnold throws a really bad pick.

 

[Wheelman]

lol typical gregg williams defense. nice call Andy. 3rd and 20 on a screen.

 

[Wheelman]

Ryan fitzmagic with a pick

nooooooooo! it's too early! He's supposed to get a new contract first and then suck.

Nope. They both suck, but will be hyped to the moon.

I know it’s against the Browns this week but the Chiefs are looking like the best team in football. I honestly can’t see them going worse than 14-2. They still get to play the freaking Raiders twice.

I hear that : both teams are flawed. BUT, let’s look at PIT. They have Ben, Conner, Brown, Smith-S, Watt,... that’s a lot of talent. And, in the case of a bunch of their players - they are battle tested.

While I don’t consider them a SB team, it’d be a stretch to dismiss PIT imo.

Congratulations to Nathan Peterman for throwing 8 passes so far without an interception.

 

[Wheelman]

great patience by Michel's college teammate chubb to get the TD.

Yeah, I don't care about the fantasy football individual players stuff. That defense is soft as Charmin and can be easily exploited. How are they 'battle tested' exactly? Losing playoff games?

If the Steelers lose this game, there's a good chance they miss the playoffs.

Way-too-early playoff picture from playoffstatus.com.

Patriots:

• 26% probability of #1 seed
• 32% probability of #2 seed [ie, 58% probability of bye]
• 17% for #3, 10% for #4 [ie, 85% probability of winning AFC East]
• 8% probability of making playoffs as wild card, 8% for missing playoffs.
• Pats magic number for winning the division is now five.

Elsewhere in AFC:

• Six teams (Raiders, Bills, Browns, Jets, Broncos, Jaguars) already have a probability of 90% or more of missing the playoffs.
• Four other teams have a probability of 64% or more of missing the playoffs: Colts (84%), Titans (73%), Dolphins (68%) and Ravens (64%).
• The 2nd place Chargers (73%) have a higher probability of making the playoffs than 1st place Houston (69%) or 1st place Cincinnati (67%).

4-4 AFC teams currently on the outside looking in:

• Baltimore plays Pittsburgh on Sunday. Currently the Ravens are given a 17% chance of winning the AFC North, 19% of being a wild card, and 64% chance of missing the playoffs. A win increases their odds of making the playoffs to 45%, while a loss drops that probability to 23%.
• Miami is generously given a 12% chance of winning the AFC East, and 32% probability of making the playoffs. A loss to the Jets would drop their playoff chances to 19%.

NFC

• The Rams have a 99+% probability of making the playoffs and 97% chance of winning their division, with half the regular season games yet to be played.
• The Saints (88%) and Redskins (82%) are near locks to make the playoffs.
• Half the conference have been given a 79% probability or greater of missing the playoffs. That list includes the last two NFC champions, Philly and Atlanta.
• The Cardinals, Niners and Giants are all given a less than 1% chance of making the playoffs.

NFC South

• 6-1 New Orleans is graded as having a 64% probability of winning the division and 25% chance of being a wild card.
• Carolina is one game behind at 5-2, but their odds are only 31% for winning the NFCS and 67% for making the playoffs.
• A loss to the Bucs drops Carolina's playoff probability to 55%.

NFC North

• 4-3 Chicago is given a 36% probability to win the division and 50% odds to make the playoffs.
• If the Bears beat Buffalo their playoff odds increase to 57%. A loss to the Bills coupled with wins by Green Bay and Washington decreases Chicago's playoff chances to 41%.
• 4-3-1 Minnesota: 32% probability to win the division, 44% to make the playoffs.
• If the Vikings beat Detroit their playoff odds increase to 51%. A loss to the Lions coupled with a win by Chicago decreases Minnesota's playoff chances to 30%.
• 3-3-1 Green Bay: 20% probability to win the division, 33% to make the playoffs.
• If the Packers beat New England their playoff odds increase to 44%. A loss to the Patriots coupled with Chicago and Minnesota victories decreases Green Bay's playoff chances to 36%.
• 3-4 Detroit: 11% probability to win the division, 15% to make the playoffs.
• If the Lions beat Minnesota their playoff odds increase to 20%. A loss coupled with victories by Chicago and Green Bay decreases Detroit's playoff chances to 8%.

For me just way too much information in the entire thread.

Pitt is still pretty legit, lots of talent on offense and d looks better lately , but with Baltimore and Cincinnati falling back down to earth lately that division is garbage again.
