I’m getting more and more nuanced and elaborate with the tiers: At this point in the season, I felt it necessary to leave the top tier empty. Nobody is worthy of being up there. Many years there isn’t a team worthy of being put up in that Death Star tier. I’m talking a team like… Read More NFL WEEK 14 TIER LIST | EACH TEAM DESCRIBED IN ONE SENTENCE
Let’s start first with the tiers. I’ve added a few categories that I think give it some more nuance: I know the Eagles won and improved to 9-1, which is the best record in the league, but I still have some serious concerns about them. They seemed to get their run defense figured out in… Read More NFL Week 11 Tiers, Hot Takes and Takeaways: the Jets Offense is TRASH
Okay, Monday Night Football has just concluded and the Eagles are undefeated no longer. And I’m kicking them out of the top-tier club. Philly did not look good tonight. Their inability to stop the run for most of that game enabled Washington to hold a 40 to 20 minute advantage in time of possession. I… Read More NFL Week 10 Tiers, Hot Takes and Reactions
I know it’s late in the week, I’ve been busy. I haven’t even been able to do my CFP weekly power ratings and betting lines this week. I hope to have something done there by tomorrow morning but my spreadsheet is not cooperating with me at the moment so no promises. Anyway, here’s the week… Read More NFL Week 9 Tier List and Takes
I was wrong about Justin Fields. Yep, it’s true. I completely underestimated him this whole time. I had him ranked as the #2 quarterback in the 2021 NFL Draft, but I was wrong about that. He’s the best quarterback in that draft class. He should’ve been #1 overall in last year’s draft. He, not Trevor… Read More Justin Fields Has Arrived
The newly updated tiers: There’s just a ton of mediocrity in the league right now. I bumped the 49ers up to the second tier because of how good McCaffrey looked. I know they always beat the Rams, so I don’t know how impressive a win that was, but I think I was a little too… Read More NFL Week 8 Reactions, Hot Takes and Tiers
Khalil Mack, Akeim Hicks, Robert Quinn and now Roquan Smith: all gone from Chicago. The Bears in 2022 have gotten rid of their four best defensive players. GM Ryan Poles is rebuilding. He’s blowing it up and starting fresh. He’s bringing in his own guys. He’s freeing up cap space and stock piling draft picks.… Read More The Bears Have Fallen Into the Rebuilding Trap
I’m going to do weekly tier rankings from now on. Here’s what I’ve got. Half the league is certified MID: Yes, I think the Rams, Bucs, 49ers, Packers and Ravens are all mid. And the Cowboys, too. And the Chargers (more on them soon). I just have not been wow’d by them at all, but… Read More NFL Week 7 Reactions and Hot Takes: The National Mid League, and a Changing of the Guard
Here are your 3-3 teams after Sunday’s action, keeping in mind that tonight’s Monday Night Football matchup is between the 3-2 Chargers and the 2-3 Broncos: Okay, so maybe it’s just 10 teams, but it feels like everyone is 3-3 right now. The asterisks indicate division leaders, meaning three of the eight divisions are led… Read More NFL Week 6 Observations and Hot Takes: The Whole League is 3-3
Okay, Thursday Night Football games are shitshows, we all get it, they set football back 115 years to the era before the invention of the forward pass. I get it. Also, did you hear Brian Robinson got shot? I had never heard that before tonight! Wow! What an incredible story that I’d never heard before.… Read More The Bears Lost in the Most Bears Way Imaginable
