Bad Football

Right now I would say there are only 8 teams in the NFL playing good football.

3 in the AFC and 5 in the NFC.

AFC: Patriots, Broncos, Chiefs

NFC: Seahawks, 49ers, Lions, Saints, Panthers.

I honestly think the Panthers and Seahawks are playing the best football right now. The broncos offense is great, but their defense is nothing special. The saints are similar. I can't wait for our games against the saints to see how our d plays. Hell I can't wait to see how well the saints do against the 49ers this week.

I enjoyed our win tremendously.  

 

But if we want to continue to be on this list we have to fix laying the ball on the ground and expecting our defense to fix things.

 

And special teams / punt returns need extra reps on short punts and clearing the area in front of receiver.

The NFC East is going to be won by a bad team. That's a given.

Same can likely be said of the AFC North. Maybe the South too.

If we do have to settle for a wildcard spot then we need to aim for the 5th seed cause that means we get to play the 4th seed which will end up brig the NFC east champs. That's as easy of a playoff game as we will get.

Not hard to name 10 good teams... if you're talking about the total year anyway... if you're talking about any given week, then sure, lots of slopiness.

 

but imo there's 10 good teams easily this year.

 

I look at it just the opposite.

 

I'd say on a given Sunday, you might find ten teams playing good games.  But if you asked me to name ten teams that have played consistently good football - win or lose - over the entire course of the season, I'm not sure I could.

 

Five or six, maybe.  But when you get past that, you start reaching.

Makes sense, and could happen.

meh, we faced the best defense the 2nd best defense in the nfc and could of gotten more points if it wasn't for the drops and pressure from the o-line. You do remember we scored 30+ points for 4 straight games prior to the 49ers right?

No I get that but if we don't get the division that's the best case scenario

      Five wins this season.........maybe?

      By rebelrouser · Posted

      3 wins might get us the no. 1 pick.  5 wins probably puts us in the top 5.  Look on the bright side.

      Is Hendon Hooker that bad he can't get a shot??

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      It's not just "week two". Bryce has started 30 games at this point and it's still the same poo. Unless the opposing defense is playing Charmin soft and we seemingly have nothing to play for, Bryce can't do anything.  I'd rather try to land a Jameis Winston or Sam Howell for a late round pick than play Hooker but at this point we gotta try something else.

      You Done with Morgan Yet?

      By theinstrumental · Posted

      It's really all on Tepper. He was the engine behind the Bryce trade, which the roster obviously wasn't ready for. We wasted a year proving that the roster wasn't ready to support a young quarterback, and then spent a mandatory offseason using all possible resources to patch up the offensive line and find offensive playmakers. Then the defense was the worst in the league, and we spent an offseason trying to solve that. We've been chasing our tail, dealing with problems that Tepper let stagnate while he chased immediate contention, and then the shiny toy of a young QB.  Dan's got a competent contract guy and he's finally hired someone to stop him from wasting draft capital in bad trades. Those two things alone put a functional floor on his performance. I don't think he's got the vision to turn us into the Eagles or the Chiefs, But if the owner's never going to agree to a proper rebuild, it probably doesn't matter.
