NFL. what have we learned week 8

[3Rivers]

Todd Haley is a fukking fakkit

 

[Bryan Danielson]

Alex Smith on the low is an elite QB!

 

[DCMC]

Matt Ryan without elite receivers = AJ Feely

Id hold that thought off...we're 1-2 against teams with winning record. beating up on crappy teams is nice and all but Id be careful calling us elite quite yet. but then I guess theres tons of parity in the league

They're a top 5 squad. That's elite to me. We beat up on bad teams, but we destroyed them. Didn't let any weak teams hang around. Just smoked em.

In all fairness, the so called top teams have been beating crappy teams too, but people been calling them elite. If they can be elite why can't we?

yea I guess

thats the thing. I wouldnt call the broncos elite either. its a good question whether any team in the league is currently elite as sum of its parts

meh style points are useless...ask the broncos. I think elite teams have a good record against other good teams. but like Ive said, tough to say right now who is an elite team now

 

[L&HH]

We keep giving NFL fans across the pond football.

Andy Reid looking like a genius game manager out there.

Eagles are done.

We'll see if the Gints are back against a more competent and healthy QB after a much needed week off.

The Bronco machine is slowing down.

Tom Brady finna make his team the Cardiac Pats this year.

Giants have played two teams playing alot worse than they are, both with new answer at the qb position. They're looking like the eagles when they won their 3 games, just beating on teams playing worse than them.

Fair enough.... But if we are not elite.... Then no one else is.

I think a fair assessment is, there are only like 5 teams that have a legit chance at winning the SB and we are one of them

I think they are. If we were just barely beating poor teams, then I'd think we were frauds. But we're smoking teams. How you win matters IMO.

Dalton with a 5th TD....but some Bengals fans want him moved.

Atlanta fizzing out like the Phoenix Suns

Real shyt instead of blind riding. Kaep still hasn't thrown the ball one good game outside of the opener against Green Bay. He will have to throw 25-30 times against the Panthers to do so. Read option against that d ain't going to work.

This is key, why I wasnt convinced by the Eagles/Cowboys first week, when ppl were jerking them. Both teams were playing bad teams that gifted them the ball multiple times and only ended up winning by 1 possession? not an elite team at all

Todd Haley is a fukking fakkit

he had some good throws but accuracy been off. the read option actually gave him confidence and made him think less imo, which is good. his biggest problems are with inaccuracy and indecisiveness.

with that said, Im worried about the panthers game far more than the saints game the week after. that D is beast and they can run the ball themselves too
