NBA OFF TOPIC THREAD

Not sure what the data says on the Kelce circumstance but it’s pretty telling with Lamar/Andrews

Didn't we see first hand earlier this season when he missed time? That offense drops at least one cylinder.

The sample size on Lamar goes deeper than one game. I’m just saying I don’t know what the deal is when Mahomes is missing Kelce. Kelce has been pretty durable.

Cowboys

The team that can beat up on the bad teams. Same team every year man. I want to believe the same every year. They can be considered for the 5th spot but that’s it.

The Lions? Other than opening week they lose to every good team they face. They are a top 10 team, not top 5.

Top 4 - pretty clear
KC
PHI
SF
BAL

The 5th team isn’t clear but I would consider MIA, JAX, DAL.

BOOM.

Miami would be my 5th best.

I don’t see any reason to call out those who stutter

Wh-wh-why n-n-not?

Right now it would be a mess cause the rest of his revivers suck

It’s weird that no one can figure out how to use hardman since he lead the league is separation last year (aka the most open wr on the planet…)

Is he where he's schemed to be might be the question?

It seems like the chiefs did a good job but just didn’t use him enough

Didn't value him enough to keep him during the offseason, then had to rescue him from the depths of the Jets' rotation. Of course, most WRs are wasted with Zach Wilson under center.

LOL.

And now Boyle.

They need to activate Siemian. He is their best option right now.

Denver has won 4 straight and is playing some good ball right now.

Doubt Flacco is needed that soon but it's possible he could get in if DTR struggles.

DTR most likely starts imo

Oh I agree....I said if DTR struggles.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Miami is much like Dallas. Beat up on bad teams, lose to the good ones. Jax seems to have some issues too. Ravens are a tough read, will need to see how they adjust without their top target.

Agree on Miami and JAX that’s why I think there is a clear top 4. BAL lost Andrews but to this point they have been dominant

Their defense is really good and Jackson has more weapons to spread the ball around to than he has ever had before.

 

[DJ Fieri]

And Gus Johnson is pretty good.

Picked him up a few weeks ago and has been money for me.

 

[WiggyRuss]

DTR most likely starts imo

I agree.... and Denver's defense is good, but I would not say it is as good as the Steelers.

I would think- barring turnovers that screw the defense, that getting to 20 points would be enough, and with our running game, I think its doable.

it will be a tough game- Denver is always a tough place to play and they have some momentum- but I think as long as the defense does its thing and is not put in bad situations the Browns will have a good shot.

Looks like the Broncos are 2.5 point favorites- which makes sense with Wilson against DTR and being at home.

 

[Shanemansj13]

I would have put the Ravens up there before the Andrews injury. They aren’t top 5 anymore. How are you ripping on Dallas for not beating anyone good and then you put Jacksonville up here?

Fair point. That’s why I am not slipping Dallas into the top 5. Clear cut top 4, yes Baltimore no Andrews now but they are better than the 3 I named and Detroit imo

I disagree. We will see what Lamar looks like without Andrews. I’ve got Baltimore 6. They don’t get a benefit of the doubt from me until they can actually win a playoff game with Lamar. If they do that I’ll be sure to eat my crow.

Dallas is not a better team than Baltimore to this point. No reason to project bc this is a right now ranking. That isn’t fair to BAL

Dallas has not beaten a good team yet. Best win(s) is a 4 win team.
