So Gil Brandt gave his take on which of the 13 teams that never won the SB and "analyzed" their chances of winning. He had this to say.. 

Basicially he has us in the "bottom of the pile" class, also in that class are the following teams.. Falcons, Browns, Jaguars and Titans

 

I literally just lost ANY respect I had for Brandt, infact I think I might actually hate him.

Big deal.  Barring something catastrophic we're gonna be 4-0 with a bye week going back to face a Seahawk team licking their wounds.  Let's see what people say then.  Or better yet February when we give everyone a nice big $hitburger to eat. Hopefully we avoid the injury/suspension bug.  If so we have as good or better shot as ANYone.  We know it, the team knows it.  That's what matters.

    • Most EVs are in the 90+ e-MPG meaning some measurement house somewhere compares the EV to a similar ICE model and works out how much is costs to charge (on average) versus fill up as a point of comparison. Talking long term, in the hundreds of thousands of miles?  No clue.  Some early signs are that EV batteries maintain 80% charge over 400k miles.  So there's that.   The challenge and charm of an ICE vehicle is being able to park it under a tree, get your jack stands out and tinker with your engine.  There's just not that same level of complexity in an EV.  I saw someone estimate there are 200 or so moving parts in an EV, and 2000 in an ICE vehicle.  I'm not a part counter so I can't really speak to that. I think that the EV is more the future than any type of combustion engine.  Those will still be around in specific purposes, but for most people - an EV will be the superior option in terms of efficiency.  I say that as someone who loves stupid horsepower numbers out of turbo 4 bangers and inline 6s...  I am one of those tinkers when I can be. A bigger issue for EVs is going to be the ownership versus lease.  Right now, there are INSANE leases on EVs, which is great, but what do you have at the end of that lease?  Nada, maybe some equity if you're lucky.  Where as I'm almost done paying for my car, and plan to keep it until the wheels fall off (or my son wrecks it when he starts to drive).  Will EV makers do the smartphone thing and build in planned obsolesce?  Stop updating software?  I love the tech in EVs, and I think getting more cars and trucks off the road is a good thing.  But I am still just a little concerned.  Capitalism has gotten far too extractive.
