Bills are really going to regret those losses to Cincinnati and New England.

@ KC

Vs Cowboys

@ Chargers

Vs Patriots

@ Dolphins

I assume it’ll take 10 wins to have a chance for tie breakers but maybe it’s 9….but must go 3-2 to get to 9-8

3 out of 5 will be tough. Definitely Patriots, maybe Chargers. KC, Dallas, and Miami all playing well right now.

No guarantees that Steelers, Browns, Texans, Colts, Broncos get to 10 wins…with their 3-5 co Defence record they need to go 4-1 with loss to Cowboys I’d guess.

Ravens with 2 of the most obvious personal fouls ever and neither gets called.

Can’t believe the chargers are a half away from being 4-7.

Browns and Steelers aren’t scaring anyone but I’m not sure you can do a top 10 without 1 or both in it.

1. Eagles

2. 49ers

3. Cowboys

4. Chiefs

5. Dolphins

6. Jaguars

7. Ravens

8. Lions

You’d have to be a hater to not have all 8 of those teams listed in your top 10.

Who are the other 2? Bills? Looked the part today but 6 losses, Broncos? They are hot for sure. Texans? Hard to argue against. Vikings? Eh, Seahawks? Eh. Colts? Nah.

Steelers and Browns have 40+ on the total number of wins vs teams they’ve defeated…..none of those others are even close. Most between 25-30. Hard not to feel the Broncos over the Browns and Texans over the Steelers….but you couldn’t argue those over both teams.

I’d go Texans at 9 and Steelers at 10 as of right now…..but I could go 9 Browns and Steelers 10. If you wanted to test me you could say Browns 9, Texans 10…..but I don’t think you can leave both out based on what they’ve done so far this season.

They very well might. This might be controversial, hot take, etc. But they don’t get enough criticism IMO. Maybe it’s because not enough people care about them. But they’re always in that playoff conversation, sometimes even selected to be in the Super Bowl. And they just chronically underachieve. And Herbert kind of gets a pass, too.

They are a team that gets me virtually every year.

Broncos defense allowing 80 points total over this five game win streak. The same defense that allowed 70 to the Dolphins earlier this season.

Pittsburgh will get 10-11 wins with that cake walk schedule down the stretch. I think the Browns can get to 10, with wins against the Bears, Jets & Bengals. Assuming the Texans can get to 10, beating the Browns, and the Donkeys can get to 10, that would leave the Browns as a 10 win team on the outside looking in.

Offensively, the Browns/Jets game could look like Army v Navy.

No way a 10 win Browns team gets left out. Too unpred

Browns were 10-6 in 2007 and were left out. Still a chance the Browns don't get to 10 wins if the news on Myles is bad today.

Jets missed in 2015 at 10-6. All they had to do was beat the Bills in the final game. Fitz threw 3 picks in the 4th quarter.

Browns lost to the Bengals, who they had put up almost 50 on in the 2nd game of the year, in the second to last game. In the first game, Jamal Lewis ran for 220+ yards. In the second game, in  40-50 mph winds, the Browns offensive coordinator thinks it's a good idea to throw the ball 40-50x's and Derek Anderson throws 4 picks. Colts decide to sit Peyton Manning in the final game (for the most part), play Jim Sorgi and the Titans win and get in.

Too early to tell on Young vs Stroud (but trending heavily toward Stroud) but I knew that was a mistake by the Panthers when I heard they were favoring Young.

Dionte on that fumble….you see that bs?


That wasn't a good look. And can't say I was surprised. That was about the play right after he would have had a TD if he'd just maintained the catch into the ground, so dude was likely still sulking about how the refs called the play or how Tomlin didn't challenge the result or how life just isn't fair. Since I do tend to get the impression about Dionte that he's a mid receiver with the ego of an all-time great.

I could let the Dionte reaction on that play go if it was just a fumble he didnt see right away or whatever. But when you see the whole clip and he doesnt even bother to block (on a play run towards his side)... that would be my much bigger issue.

It’s much bad. Fields is like watching soccer…..a ton of great moves and instincts, just never scores.
