    A bunch of very good teams and a bunch of bad teams.

    Chiefs 15-1
    Vikings 14-2
    Lions 14-2
    Eagles 13-3
    Bills 13-3

    Never seen a season like this. I don't even know what to make of it. Swear this is the result of the NFL catering hard to the QB. Basically killed all the teams without good QB play which is the majority of the league. League is turning into a joke. If you have a QB you are golden for years. If you don't you have no chance.

    This is a QB league, no doubt, but in total Yards allowed per game, the Eagles are #1 and Chiefs are #4. Vikings are #4 in least points allowed, Bills & Lions are top 11 in points allowed. It's not just the QB, most of these teams also have very good defenses.

    When your team has both, you are virtually unstoppable.

    It'd make some of the end of year games more interesting.,.. watching teams fight against going down to the B league.
    Other teams fighting to GET INTO the A league.

    It’s a lot easier to play defense with a lead though. Some of the defenses are genuinely good and some
    of them are just kept off the field with fresh defenders.

    None of the discussion really matters though. America is unbelievably addicted to football no matter what the product is. It’s a shit product. I just wish they’d watch some college games in terms of flags down the field on receivers and take some notes.

    It’s also so wildly noticeable that they don’t call illegal contact all year until the last two weeks. It’s like they’re priming the fans for the playoffs when we get nonsense calls to gain money for the sportsbooks.

    They are resting him. The records are a tad skewed since its now a 17 game season.

    I think its the right call, Eagles have a real shot to win it all and will 100% need Saquon to do it so not worth the risk. Also the Giants winning will kill their chances of drafting a QB which helps the Eagles in the future.
    Do you think the NFL is rigged? I didnt think it was until the I saw the 2023 playoffs where the Chiefs benefited from the refs against the Bengals and Eagles, especially the game against Cincy where they did a do-over play after the Chiefs failed to convert on 3rd down. Most blatant nonsense ive ever seen.

    It’s been a bad year for the NFL. Both NY teams suck, people are sick of the chiefs and then the only other good teams are from small markets (Detroit, Minny, Buffalo)

    looking forward to better days

    They’ve really overwhelmed everyone with the whole Chiefs ecosystem too in adding Jason Kelce to ESPN broadcasts (he sucks and is such a tryhard), Taylor Swift drama, all the penalty flags that go their way, etc.

    It will get worse, I'm sure Travis Kelce will be all over whatever network he goes to whenever he retires.

    The QBs on those teams include two guys who got run out of their previous organizations, including this one.
