I was looking at the overall standings for the league on the NFL's website and at the bottom of the standings are 10 teams out of 32 with only 1 or 2 wins.
I know there are always a handful of shit shows but this year seems like a wide chasm between the better teams and the turds in the punchbowl.
I don't remember this many teams all sucking at once in years prior.
Add in all the injuries and this has been a strange season so far.
The only consistent are my favorite team, the Kansas City Chiefs. [Reply]

Then 4-5 elites and 4-5 turds
Seems like more turds this year
Just looked at the standings. At first, I thought it had to be the injury bug, and for a few teams that's it. But it looks like mostly ownership/management and coaching. So, I guess the main culprit would be an over abundance of dipshit ownership? Best guess. [Reply]

AFC East;
Miami (2-5); yeah this happens when your QB has a noodle arm and a death wish / desire to turn is brains into scrambled eggs
New England (2-6); not unexpected, total rebuild and I don't think the HC is the right person for this task
NY Jets (2-6); yeah putting all your eggs in the Rodgers basket is flaming out
AFC North
Cleveland (2-6); so replacing the flaming crater that was Watson at QB was the key to a modicum of improvement on offense, NO WAY!!!
AFC South
Jacksonville (2-6); this team is cooked, like the entire team is just going through the motions and picking up a check
Tennessee (1-6); team in total transition, think KC in the Gunther era, nothing defines this team yet, and no a mayo loving headcase at QB does not define the team
AFC West
Las Vegas (2-6); the evergreen dumpster fire that is the Raiders will always be fun
NFC East
NY Giants (2-6); Jones is cooked, Daboll is cooked
NFC South
New Orleans (2-6); David Carr was the answer?!? I am shocked as everyone else
Carolina (1-7); yeah the Alabama midget ain't the answer now or later
50% of the Saints roster is either dead or on IR and Carr has missed the last three games. They are likely 3-3/4-2 if he stayed healthy.
I don't understand the OP take. There will always be bad teams every year. If the league was a .500, folks would be screaming where are the elite teams??? [Reply]

The point is clear: about 100% more shit teams this year than prior years. [Reply]

I think the league does better when every fan feels like their team has a shot at making the playoffs. They want parity.
The problem is there are never enough premium QBs to go around. The chiefs fielded great teams over the years only to get beat by Elway and Brady. Then we get our own golden ticket and suddenly a lot of the team problems just sort of melted away. [Reply]

And coaching. Lot of shitty coaches out there. [Reply]

Many dumpster fires.
And GMs. The greatest coach in the world wouldn't be be able to do shit when you mortgage the homestead to saddle them with some assclown QB. How many times have we seen that in recent years? [Reply]

Waaaay too many. I wouldn't care that much, except that it's consequently made for way too many unwatchable fiascos I wouldn't call 'football games' every single week since. [Reply]
