No great teams, everyone with 2-5 losses except like 3 just terrible teams.

This is good, right?

I am reminded a bit of the 2002 season. Everything looked pretty flat in the regular season but the Bucs and Raiders steamrolled everyone in the playoffs and the Bucs steamrolled the Raiders. So much for parity.

The Titans have four straight wins against the Bills, Chiefs, Colts and Rams. Maybe the easiest remaining schedule in football. If they still had Henry people would be talking about them as a dominant team. If Henry comes back for the playoffs, they might be seen as a dominant team.

Good parity is when NFL defenses start adjusting to the pass heavy offenses and force teams to run. Bad parity is when MVP level QBs get suspended and teams have to cut NFL players because of illegal activity.

Yup. It's the NFL where there are no walkover games. Aside from the fact they're the best in the world playing the game at its highest level, parity on the field is THE reason it's so far superior to the version of the game they play on Saturdays.

Yeah I still feel if we are talking about playoffs there are only a handful of teams that can win it all. Parity is great but I would also like to see it in the playoffs, like you said this parity might have something to do with all the wrong reasons.

there is no stand out, dominating team...but I don't know if I would call it "parity"

this season has been a little more "any given Sunday" though...every team is beatable.

meanwhile, you have teams like the Lions...

Some of these losses can be at least partially pinned on OCs that stubbornly refuse to adjust to the flow of a game in a timely manner (Bills, Rams). McVay's first half play-calling had Stafford looking like Goff....

It feels good to be one of the 3 teams that stand out this year, enjoy your wins you fucking lemmings!
That Rams loss felt good last night.


Now if Staff just gets hurt we’re really looking at a fun draft.

If the refs weren’t blind we’d have atleast 1 win.

Tucker wasn’t gonna hit a 70+ yard FG.

Not that I mind, winning is counter productive right now.

Not sure why you would want a win at this point? Lock down that #1 slot.

Eh, it happens every few years.

I prefer this to having a league where 2-3 teams are steamrolling everyone else. I like to think my shit-team has an actual chance on any given Sunday

Too bad Dorsey is not in a position of power over there. OBJ would be walking in the doors this week to make more fun for you.

I would say this a great year. But that’s just me.
Arizona is #2 in PPG and #3 in PPG allowed. Buffalo is #4 in PPG and #1 in PPG allowed. I dont think you guys are allowed to talk about parity but maybe thats just me.

Parity is good for the game. Parody is the funny stuff.
