Again makes no sense based on records and the recent cowboys loss. We'll see what the line is after the weekend games though. Vegas believes in the Cowboys a lot more than I do. I know part of it is people love to bet Dallas which drives the line up, but still it's weird given they're facing two of the top 3 records in the conference and favored against both including one on the road.

Jerry Jones about Suh…

"No, we didn’t have contact," Jones said. "But I like where we are with our big boys in the middle, and I like what we’re trying to accomplish. We’ve got some very talented guys that prototype fit us perfectly to go with what we’re trying to do with our edge rushing and really our internal pressure. I like our bunch, and that’s got everything to do with it."

We lak our guys.

The Giants are even more fraudulent than the Eagles, Vikings or whoever else we want to point at as having an inflated record.

The Eagles and Vikings are both probably more 6-3/7-2 type teams, to me the Giants are a 4-5/5-4 type team and I honestly don't think there's much difference between them and someone like the Skins.

Just a very average team who has hit a bunch of inside straights to consistently win games by 3-4 points against bad teams (Jaguars, Bears, Panthers, Packers) while getting extremely lucky against the Ravens in a game they probably lose 90% of the time given how the last 5 minutes went.

I agree but we're also frauds.

 

[Genghis Khan]

I'm struggling to think more than 2* teams that aren't frauds right now. It's amazing, I can't remember the last time I felt like there were so few legitimately good teams.

* The Chiefs and Titans, of course.

this would be the time to snag a SB, but no...

Just remember that the league would absolutely love it if everybody was 8-8 (or 9-8/8-9 I guess), so this is what you get.

Parity eventually becomes parody to where actual results don't mean much in terms of future projection because almost everything happens in a compartmentalized vacuum based on a number of completely variable factors that shift week to week (refereeing being the main one).

its bad imagery for the league that the Rams are so pathetic this season.

IMO we don't know if we're frauds yet or not. We just barely passed the halfway point of the season. We could look back and see that this was just a slump. We could also look back and see that this was the start of a huge decline like last year. We just don't know yet.

And nothing really matters except what happens in the playoffs anyway. We could be 7-7, looking average as can be, get hot and get in at 10-7 and win a couple playoff games, and that would be a step forward.

We could, but I’m now a hardened skeptic.

I don’t acknowledge a 17th game.

New hill to die on, sir?

It is what it is, more football, and a chance for an interesting AFC matchup.

Of course, we get the Bengals…

I mean the extra wild card spot seems dumb too. Ultimately I'm not even worried about making the playoffs this year partially because of it. Kind of feels like it cheapens the regular season but it's just what it is. They aren't going back.
