You know the AFC is stacked when a 10-4 record doesn't clinch you a playoff spot

 

Yep a 10-6 team (possibly even 11-5) is going to miss the playoffs in a year 7 teams from each conference get in.

Is that a sign the AFC is good, or bad? Every team in the NFC has as many wins as the bottom 3 of the AFC has combined. And only 6 of the 16 NFC teams will have a losing record in the inter-conference games when the Bears beat the Jags this weekend.....with 3 of those being NFC East teams.

I don't think I've ever seen a QB with a HOF resume play as badly as Roethlisberger is right now. Holy hell!

Guess you didn’t watch the Saints yesterday.

Kind of cherry picking there. There are also only 4 NFC teams with winning records against the AFC this year. One of those almost certainly won’t last (Atlanta plays KC) and the other might not (Green Bay plays Tennessee). Meanwhile 8 AFC teams have winning records against the NFC. AFC is also 33-26-1 against the NFC as a whole. Additionally, the good AFC teams across the board destroyed the NFC teams as those 8 good AFC teams are 26-3 against the NFC.

 

I’d say the top of the AFC is definitively better than the top of the NFC while the bottom of the AFC is definitively worse than the bottom of the NFC.

Holy horsefeathers, Ben and Brees are absolutely finished. Also what a horrible win for the Bengals. Likely fall far enough now not to get that top LT to keep Burrow from breaking and possibly holding the 3 pick hostage for a trade up.

You're calling this a win when it's not even halftime?

A Bengals win tonight costs them zero draft apots, since their place in the standings is 1.5 games clear in either direction right now.

Got it, thought there were 1-2, 3 win teams out there

They can feel free to keep winning though, because Carolina is sitting at #4 right now and I wouldn't mind moving higher.

Big game for Cincy vs Houston next week. I imagine the Bengals will be successful at tanking that, but if not, a whole slew of teams will jump them.

Kevin Greene dies and the 2 teams he spent most of his career with take the worst losses of any team this season.

Didn't mean to cherry pick. Really just looked real quick.

 

But I think the top 1 is better than the NFC. I think GB, Sea, NO, and depending on the day LAR are better than every non Buffalo AFC team, with Buffalo below GB. Browns have a negative point differential, Steelers are well, terrible apparently.

Since you mentioned the Steelers, it's very realistic that they don't even win their division anymore. That they've gone from undefeated and the 1 seed to the 3 seed in the span of three weeks is impressive enough.

 

Browns play the Jets next week while Steelers host Indy. If Cleveland wins and the Steelers lose, the two teams play for the division title in Cleveland the next week. If the Steelers win this week, they win the division because if they tie, the Steelers have the best division record.

 

Steelers are the 12th team to start 11-0 or better. They'll be the first to not get the top seed in their conference (KC wins a 2 and 3 way tiebreaker at 13-3). They're the second to lose three games that same season (the 2009 Saints went 13-3) and would be the first to lose 4. All 11 of those teams that started 11-0 also won their division, which the Steelers only have a 3 in 4 chance to do per 538.

Honest to God, if Payton won’t play Winston, then Hill might actually be a better option than Brees right now. But we all know that Payton won’t bench Brees in his final season. I guess he’s earned this goodbye.

If Winston isn't the starter, I'm actually on the fence on this. I think another week of Drew healing will help him, plus he was a bit better in the second half. They honestly should just let him run a 2-minute drill the entire game as that is the only time he looked decent.

 

All that said, they should start Jameis, have Drew as his back-up and run the usual gadget plays with Taysom to maximize the roster until the playoffs. If the Saints beat Minnesota and Carolina, which they should, then they need the Seahawks to beat the Rams and 49ers and the Bears to beat the Packers to get the #1 seed.

Vikings' offensive gameplan of targeting whoever Malcolm Jenkins is trying to cover is working out well.

 

Yeah, but their defense can't stop Kamara from scoring.
