Eh I think you have Seattle a little too high, but outside of Buffalo/KC if you showed me that list 9 weeks ago I'd assume you were on a meth or bath salts binge.

If anything the Seahawks aren’t high enough. And quite frankly neither am I.

There are really only 3 contenders in the league right now. Beyond that there are some teams that are at the very least better than the rest of the bad teams in the NFL. That's where the Seahawks and everyone else below 3 fall.

 

[Lake Shore Drive]

Again, pretty fair rankings. I might not have the Giants quite this high, despite their 6-2 record. And they have some very tough matches down the road, but also some quite winnable as well. Should be interesting to see if they continue to hang in there will the top clubs.

So true... #6 thru #22 all fall into that category ... I think the Vikings and Cowboys are legit and belong in the top 5... You need to stop being so nice and put Philly #1 overall...

Eagles/Bills would be a damn good game I imagine, maybe it’ll be the SB.

I will when I feel like they are #1. Right now I feel like if the Eagles and Bills played 10 times then the Bills would win 6 or 7 of those times.


The potential for an undefeated season just puts everything else into a different perspective if it happens. Right now the Bills are the best team in the league and Josh Allen is clearly the MVP. But if the Eagles run the table and go undefeated then do the Eagles then get perceived as the best team in the league and Jalen Hurts the de facto MVP? Josh Allen will no doubt have more touchdowns and yards. If are still thought of as the best team in the league and Josh Allen MVP at Bills 16-1 while Eagles are 17-0 then when does that switch then occur, how many losses? 15-2? 14-3? 13-4? I really can't see the Bills finishing any worse than 14-3. I think they maybe even go 15-2 before pulling the dogs back a bit and resting important starters.

Jesus...Roll up the pant legs.

Nice layup

 

[RememberTheKoy]

Side note to this all though is how the best start the Cowboys ever had was in 1977 when they started 8-0. They went onto win the Super Bowl that year. One of those ancient history titles that fill their trophy case.

Eagles have a chance to go to 8-0 tomorrow night in Houston.

 

[PDay8810]

You are correct

"that fill their trophy case"

I think 8-0 is most likely
Good luck

Eagles should definitely move up to #1 now...

the only thing I worry about (though it's not a huge worry given the league's pass happy tendencies) is our run defense. Opponents are rushing for 5.2 YPC and now Jordan Davis is hurt. The only team the Eagles yielded < 100 yards against was Washington, and their running game sucks. They gave up 200+ to the Lions and Jags (both very good running games). Titans are going to be a huge test.
