Sorry, Jets fans, but at the moment I'd say the Chiefs are the best team in football.

The way the Ravens looked today, may have to demur.

They've had major injuries to several key players this year.

A real "any given Sunday" day in the NFL.  I haven't checked my sheet yet but I might have only got a couple games right.  In our straight up pool I picked both the Fish and the Rams to beat my Eagles and Steelers, which certainly added to my missteps.  I mean the Eagles looked pretty beatable against the Jets last week, surely the Dolphins would give them a serious whooping with their unstoppable offense and strong defense.  Apparently not so much.

In a much less consequential game the Steelers handled the Rams in a similar manner.  Also not a blowout by any measure, but also a convincing win.  This is going to be a great season if it keeps going back and forth like this.  What was your favorite game this week?

so bills hit rock bottom losing to the hapless pats ... sure, bills had injured players, but so did the patriots (matt judon, christian gonzales etc) -- the fact that a mcdermott-led defense let the utterly futile pats offense have life should cost him his job... that is nothing less than coaching malpractice

dolphins vs eagles was fun... definitely lived up to the billing, a gripping game... the fish had their starting center and both guards out and couldn't run for most the game, and still, they were hard to stop on offense, it took tua's late pick to decide it ...seeing the eagles d close in on the fish ball carriers was a sight to behold, that is some high level football!  ... and isn't jalen hurts one tough mo-fo???  :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown:  WOW!!!

The NFL is now a long grind. Games matter now but not so much as to determine a SB winner. Every team is going to lose at least a couple of games and go through bad patches.

very true

war of attrition is well underway...  need to see which teams in the upper tier are the healthiest going into the final weeks of the regular season

on monday night, 49ers lost in minnesota to a jacked up, highly motivated vikings team, which is not great -- but relatively speaking, they came out of that carpeted house of horrors without major injuries, most importantly christian mccaffrey (not to mention the coaches kept trent williams out of the game entirely)...  the key now is to keep the team as whole as possible while winning the games each week

Big shocker in Las Vegas, just about everybody there fired late last night.  The Steelers could use a good OC, are you listening Mr Rooney?

And Dobbs to Minnesota, another shocking move.  Sympathies to Kirk Cousins, he'd really start to put it all together there.

mark davis is one of the weakest owners in the nfl... total lack of judgement and any meaningful wisdom (what do expect from a useless 2nd generation heir) ... not to mention the moronic haircut

Eagles crush the Cowgirls yesterday afternoon.  In the big afternoon game the Birds go up big against the Girls from Dallas then hold off 56 yards on three penalties in the referee's comeback attempt.  Round two in the five game murders row the Eagles face by the new NFL AI schedule makers ending in the rematch in Dallas.

Chris Sims on PFT Live brought up an interesting point.  The Dallas tight end was called down by contact on fourth down inches in front of the goal line when his knee was down while possessing the ball.  Sims notes that for it to be a touchdown the receiver has to survive the ground still in possession of the ball, so why is he down before that happens?  Another situation, the receiver toe taps inside the back of the end zone falling out of bounds.  At the point he catches the ball it's a touchdown, unless he loses the ball when he falls out of bounds.  Sims, and I, believe the play is over when he scores a touchdown, what happens out of bounds is irrelevant.  In the field of play you catch a ball, are tackled, hit the ground, you're down at that point.  Unless you don't hold onto the ball that you've already caught.  If you maintain possession while sliding along the ground they don't mark you down where you stop, you're marked down where you hit the ground.  The NFL's stupid, inconsistent catch rule needs to be modified, overturned, changed, clarified, something.  How can what happens out of the bounds of play affect the game?  How can what happens after you're down affect the play?
