The Colts team that was 11-5 last year, improved on the defensive side of the ball and finally getting injured players back ?

Sure, except they're missing one guy who threw for almost 4600 yards... Not that Luck was "great", but he's a damn sight better than Brissett.

Good call, but that's already 13 years ago. I think crags was referring to recently, maybe not ?

The year they had the best offense and defense(yards) was 2010. Yeah, Rivers only played under Schottenheimer for a year, but they were 14-2 and lost in the second round to the Pats. IIRC Rivers had a scope on his knee the week leading up to the game, but he ended up playing anyway.

Edit: that was the next year in the AFC Championship, against the Pats.

The Raiders are 3-2, they also had a very impressive win against the best defence in the NFL today.

The team as a whole though has talent everywhere.

No but Gordong is making it sound like the Chiefs lost to the Dolphins or Jets today.

They had the best defence in the league last year. Week 1 they held Rodgers and the packers to 10 points. Week 2 they come in to Mile High where the Broncos have won 8 straight openers and hold us to 14 points (we have a middle of the pack offence), they held the Redskins to 15 points on the road the week after and didn't give up any points until they were up 28-0. Week 4 they hold the Vikings to 6 points and hold Dalvin Cook to 35 yards rushing and he was leading the NFL in rushing yards going into that game.

Today's game against the raiders is the first game they have given up more then 15 points this season.

The Pats easily have the best defense. They're allowing 6.8 points per game, Bears at 13.8, Bills at 14. Plus they're 1st in yards allowed, 36.6 less per game than the 2nd place Bills, 1st against the pass and 4th against the run. They've allowed 2 TDs all year. That's silly.

I think Chase Daniel is better than Trubisky.

saw the joker after watching the walking dead last night

very good, not great

Phoenix did an outstanding job but the movie is very slow

The last 45 minutes picked up but first hour or so was tortoise slow.

Overall if the character was just some random crazy guy who could no longer get pills w/o makeup, it would be just as good of a movie

still much better then DC has put out in forever

next 6 games for bills
home vs miami
home vs eagles
home vs redskins
at cleveland
at miami
home vs denver


to earn a playoff spot they need to go 5-1 IMO

then the schedule gets tough

at dallas
home baltimore
at steelers
at new england
home jets

if they are a playoff team, worst case 2-3


that puts us 11-5


I will be interested in seeing how the next 5 games go

One. Week. At. A. Time.
Next week is an easy one, no way they throw a L on the board.

We will still have the second best record in the AFC, or be a half game behind if KC wins. I don't know when their bye week is.

I wouldn't

it's a poor man's taxi driver like a few critics said, very good but I think a movie like the highway men was just as good if not better

endgames was much better IMO

I'm not saying you are wrong, but to be fair, the Pats have faced offenses that don't scare anyone (Redskins, Dolphins, Steelers, Jets). The Bears have been more tested. Both are great though.

Bears and Bills are in similar spots. Great defenses with offenses that cant move the ball. Lets be honest we should have lost that game. IF you cant move the ball or score then it doesn't matter how good your D is.

And yes Chase Daniel is a better QB today than money Mitch.

The week they played the Steelers, they had to face Roethlisberger. It's not like they faced the Steelers that were playing their third string QB like ended up happening yesterday.

Yes, the Bears have faced some tougher opponents (Packers, Vikings), but they also played the Redskins, so if it doesn't count for NE, it doesn't count for them either. Jury is still a bit out for me on whether or not Oakland is a real threat.

This is demonstrably false

The Bills are 10th in yards

The Bears are 29th
