Nah, they're just completely unproven.
They went from beating the Chiefs in week 1 last season through the first round of the playoffs without beating another team with 10+ wins, and then completely shit the bed in the 2nd half against the 9ers.
They're currently the 2020 Bills, running up the score on shit teams, but since when has that really meant anything in the playoffs? The Ravens did it last year with HISTORIC DVOA and a Savant QB, and the Chiefs moved the ball at will on them in the AFCCG for a half.
The Lions MIGHT be the 2022 Eagles where they get to the SB and we all think... yup, they're pretty good! Or they might be any number of teams that love the low adversity/shit team regular season schedule and then break faster than a folding table looking up at a trashed Bills fan jumping off their Silverado. :-) [Reply]

NFL is easily the greatest sport, with the worst officials. Hockey, baseball, and NBA all have better officials. [Reply]

They lose last year in the conference championship in a one score game, look better this year, and they are completely unproven and are not even...
Contenders???
