NBA OFF TOPIC THREAD

[DJ Fieri]

I haven't said anything bad about the raiders team in months. I just post counter arguments when it comes to your QB but that's all. Just like with wiggy and the cavs, i don't care about them as they are irrelevant to my team. I just think Carr is a mediocre QB and shouldn't get the free pass you continously give him

But Dak gets a free pass....Ok.

Dak team is 6-3 and avg over 33 ppg with him. Carr team is 6-8

Don't compare the 2

NE, Seattle and the Chargers suck? LOL.

I didn’t mention New England or Seattle but sure. They suck too. AFC West was supposed to be a juggernaut. Not impressed.

If the Raiders and Jags don't suck then the Browns don't suck

Slippery slope guys

They all suck. People are calling it parity. I just think 2/3rd of the teams, maybe more, are just subpar teams. Many teams in between. Colts Bucs Packers etc…have the old guard at QB staying too long. Other teams have a young prospect at QB that they’re trying to develop. And yet other teams are still in the wilderness with no viable option for top level QB play now or in the future.

The other challenge sometimes is the unbalanced schedule. The fact the NFC south doesn't have a team separating itself makes them extra trash as an example as opposed to a 6 and 8 or 7 and 7 team that lost a bunch of close games.

There isn't a huge difference between Minnesota (who's won virtually every close game) and a 7 and 7 team imo.

The difference is in the ability to win close games. That 7-7 team doesn’t find a way to win. That’s what makes them subpar.

I will say you have 3 teams in each conference clearly better than the rest.

Cincy Buffalo KC

Philly Dallas SF

True.

Yep. They’re the only teams in my opinion that can win a Super Bowl. The other teams can play spoiler but won’t be able to win the 4 playoff games needed to win a Super Bowl.

Minny is capable if they have their passing and running game going

Disagree. I don’t think they can play the defense they will need.

Take Dallas out and you have the 5 teams capable of winning a Super Bowl.

If their D can figure it out again I think they are there. Not sure what got in to them of late.

No, they really aren’t.

Minny is a fraud. They have a below average defense and their O line is crappy. QB play is average and their running game hasn’t been very good this year.

All they really have is Justin Jefferson, and some extremely good luck/clutch play making at the end of games.

They are capable of beating anyone, but not going to beat other good teams 3 times in a row. Which is what they will need to do to win a Super Bowl.

I am just saying they can get to SB if everything is clicking ...

 

[bksballer89]

Well their defense is ranked dead last in yds per game allowed and 28th in ppg allowed. Long story short, the defense will never click this season

 

[tlance]

I am just saying they can get to SB if everything is clicking ...

And I am saying they have gotten extremely lucky to be where they are now.

Could they conceivably get lucky 2 more times in the NFC playoffs?

Sure.

But the Giants and Bucs are just as likely to make the Super Bowl as Minnesota is.

Any team who makes the playoffs in the NFL has a punchers chance, but betting on Minnesota would be really foolish. They will be one of the weaker teams in the tournament.

In comparison the Browns have one of the worst defenses and they have given up 326 points and are -13 overall at 6-8. The Vikings have given up 349 points and are +2 at 11-3. The other true contenders listed are PHI +143, DAL+125, BUF +135, KC +92, CIN +81

I don't consider the Vikings a true contender, I'm not sure how you can when their defense is so inconsistent. You need a consistently balanced team to win it all. Haven't checked the stats but has a team ever won the SB with one of the worst defenses. I would venture to say no.
