The Saints covered after all.

I feel like you guys may have slightly understated how much of a drop in QB play the Broncos would suffer.

If Arizona drops their game to the Rams this upcoming week (Rams are road favorites), it opens up the window for the 49ers to wrench the 7 seed away from them in their week 16 matchup (regardless of if SF beats the Bills or not.)

Even a semi-healthy 49ers team is a terrifying 7 seed with nothing to lose. I would not want to be the 2 that faces that.

The Bills game is only worth half a game. They tiebreak both Arizona and Minnesota at 8-8 and at 9-7, but lose tiebreakers to both if the Bills are one of the wins.

Maybe people will actually start talking about how bad the tie was if the Eagles lose tonight

What is so bad about the tie? Yes it's not a win but it's much better than a loss.

The Eagles had a chance to win that game and passed on it. If they lose tonight, they'll be half a game out instead of merely tied for first.

The Eagles were 10 yards from field goal range, but actively played for the tie. They had control of that OT.

Well yes but a missed 64yd fg would have put them in a position where they could lose if the bengals have a good play.

Yes a little cowardly but it's not like they just decided not to win.

It's really not the Eagles but pundits like Greenberg who try to hail that tie as the smartest coaching decision of the season, so it gives me even more incentive to root against a team I already hate.

They ran plays that actively did not try to get into field goal range.

It's highly probable Doug Pederson is just a bad coach, yes

It's a testament to how talented that Eagles team was that Pederson and Nick Foles beat Brady and Belichick in that Super Bowl

They started a drive at their own 45.

7 yard pass, 2 yard rush, 3 yard rush, 1 yard rush, incomplete pass, false start on what still would've been a 58 yard field goal, intentional delay of game, punt.

Why are you running it 3 times for 6 yards when you're still not in your kicker's range?

Because you suck? idk

Obviously tie is worse than win in every situation, but when it came down to it, the Eagles were unable to win

"How is turbopuns's girlfriend's fantasy team doing?"

It's shaping up to be quite the season. Let me tell ya. Started 2-0. Lost 5 straight. Won 5 straight. Currently approaching 200 points thanks Tyreek.

With 2 weeks of regular season to play, the playoffs are within reach! Yay. Football.

despite my continued skepticism of the steelers being as good as their undefeated record suggests

if they somehow pull this all off with all the bs thrown at them by the league all season it will be the most impressive season ever

Steelers aren't even close to as good as their record.

They are a 10-6 team that probably will end up undefeated.

Yet the Chiefs are the only team I can say with any certainty is better.

The Steelers, even at 17-0, would likely be home dogs to the Chiefs in the AFC title game.

Maybe it's because of how messed up their schedule has been, or because its a covid season and everything is a little weird, but I feel like the Steelers are the least hyped undefeated team I've ever seen.

I do think they aren't as good as being 10-0 suggests they are, but I don't see much fanfare for them as a world beater, at least not in the media that I'm consuming.

Fact is Steelers right now are the second best team in the AFC behind the Chiefs. Maybe second best in the NFL. Do I think their record reflects how good they are? Not really.

But if they are a "10-6" team, tell me what teams they are worse than other than the chiefs...

There is nothing any team can do to convince anyone they are better than the Chiefs short of decisively beating the Chiefs in the playoffs.

This is the current state of the NFL.

The Saints with Brees may be on the same tier as the Steelers, but I don't trust any NFC team in general.

Green Bay is probably going to give up like 250 yards to Derrick Henry when they play the Titans. If they can even hold him to 100 my opinion of them would improve.

Yeah they are the top 3 team tier. Steelers, Chiefs, Saints in some order. I dont think there is any argument those are the top (chiefs first) but to imply the steelers are a 10-6 team is kinda ridic

I'd probably take a couple of the NFC teams over them as well as the Chiefs from the AFC. It's tough because all of the NFC teams seem to have some sort of weakness. The Seahawks can't play defense, the Rams seem very good especially in the second half of the season, and assuming Brees is healthier, other than his noodle arm, the Saints are dangerous too. Big Ben hasn't had to be fantastic for them to win this year, which is a good sign too.

You've got to be pretty good to go 8-8 with Duck Hodges and Mason Rudolph.

Nope. They are. They have a ridiculously easy schedule is all.

They have the nfc East Philly, Dallas, Giants.

Bengals, Jags.

You are now gonna get the ravens without Lamar.

They have played 3 games against opponents with winning records, and I mean even against teams better than 3 games below 500.
