Comparing the Top Squads in today's NFL

I consider our defense to be trending in the elite direction.  So to compliment, I want to really see what the top teams have in the league.   The easy answer being Pat Mahomes or Tom Brady, but it's worth consideration. (I may miss some top guys, but you get the picture)

The notable cores:

Buffalo

QB-Josh Allen

*Tandem backfield

WR-Stefon Diggs

LT-Dion Dawkins

C-Mitch Morse

Cleveland

QB-Baker Mayfield

RB-Nick Chubb+Kareem Hunt *Tandem backfield

WR-...questionable

TE - Trio approach

OL-Bitonio+Tretter+Conklin+Wills

Chiefs

QB-Pat Mahomes

RB-Meh, might as well be committee

WR-Hill

TE-Kelce

OL- Brown+Thuney+Humphrey

TB

QB-Brady

RB-*Underperforming tandem backfield

WR-Evans & Godwin

TE-Gronk

OL- Wirfs & Smith

Arizona

QB-Kyler Murray

WR-The entire Group

SF

It's the OL, Deebo & Kittle

DAL

Overall balanced attack w/Dak, Elliott, Pollard, Lamb, & Cooper

So....

My takeaway: You either need a top flight QB, a top flight OL, or a good enough QB-Receiving w/a few top OL that makes the package click.  Some of these have top RB talent, but are any really workhorses? Who has the overworked RBs? Us, Minny, Titans (good team, awful D), Cinci, Saints...

Dallas has even adjusted and Pollard is getting more carries depending on the matchup. 

In light of the CMC discussion, it is worth considering how we prioritize the build that continues (and looking quite good at the moment regardless of injuries)

We're getting close.  And I don't think we're that off, and the next focus should be OL without question. Finally, after all these years.  OL OL OL OL OL

Rhule does not throw players under the bus and most of what he says is to motivate guys.

I do not believe anyone is satisfied with our OL.

Also it's within context. Like within the context of their capabilities they played well,not necessarily within the context of what's considered good o-line play haha.

Rhule said today,  the O line played good....... Help me understand.

You still believe anything Rhule says?  Are you nuts?  The guy is a serial liar.  And I don't hold it against him at all.  He says what he says to help his cause.  Not because he wants to let anyone know what's actually happening.

    • Yep. It was an obvious red flag that a lot of people ignored. The results/scores in preseason don’t matter, but individual performance very much does and individually, we looked like the least talented team in the league and it carried over.
    • Sorry, but in 2015, we didn’t look like poo to the extent of 2023. People who said it’s just preseason were completely wrong. Simple as that. 2015 was a veteran lead team. It was Cam’s 5th year and Luke’s 4th. Even our OL was 80% the same (added Oher) as the great run to finish 2014 with a playoff win. That year can be labeled as preseason doesn’t matter because I’m sure we rested vets and well, Ron/Mike weren’t putting in special plays, etc. I absolutely don’t recall a bunch of us saying that Turner was getting killed on one on ones or that Luke was completely out of position or that Norman was hurt again but probably fine. The only thing that was right about the 2023 preseason is that the minority of us who saw it, were correct that we A) should have been making Young and others play 100% of the reps as there was nothing to hide and B) the preseason means nothing was a bunch of BS trying to stay optimistic when it was obvious that we had way less good talent than the rest of the NFL.
    • You are telling me Paul Maurice is a better coach than Rod??? Yes!!!  It’s because he plays a better system and has a better goalie.   Our system sucks in playoffs and he refuses to roll with Koochie. Dallas cowboys level poo
