This year's surprises

[msgkings322]

Might be a tad early for this, but I think we're far enough into the season...

Because of the parity and injuries in the NFL, every year a couple of teams that sucked the year before are good, and vice versa.

Right now it looks like:

Good this year, bad last year: Niners for sure, Bills, Raiders?, Lions?

Bad this year, good last year: Steelers for sure, Panthers?...were the Falcons good last year?

What do y'all think?

I don't think many people had the Rams struggling. Chargers are also a disappointment.

Chargers yes. Rams lost a couple close ones, and have injuries (Gurley main one). Might be too early to say with them. Obviously if they miss the playoffs after being in the SB, you definitely put them in the bad surprise column. But I'm not sure of that yet.

I have the Chiefs missing the playoffs.



Surprised that still is possible.

I'd also add the Cowboys as disappointments. We'll see what happens against the Eagles though...

Yeah I think it's too early to say if the Cowboys and Rams are bad (yet), or if say the Lions are good. Obviously lots more to sort out.

I'm surprised that my Seahawks are 5-1... Pleasantly surprised I should say...

on the negative side of the surprises.
the falcons are 1-5 with a ton of talent.
