Hunter2_1 Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 like, weirder than other seasons feel... I was having a discussion with my football buddies, they were all saying how much this season doesn't make any sense at all. I was reminded that this has been said before, probably many times. But, wondering if you think this season is in particular a bit strange so far? (for specifics, i'd probably suggest things like the number of teams expected to be good that are not, and vice-versa, stars not performing, strange outcomes to games, low scores etc) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notthatbluestuff Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 It seems like (outside of the Bills and Chiefs) somewhat of a changing of the guard in terms of the teams that are becoming good, many of them against expectations. The NFC in particular is really weird. There's the Eagles and then a bunch of teams that are, well, just teams. The AFC West was supposed to be a bloodbath; instead it's a laugher. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calamity_Cometh Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 There was a ton of off-season movement and right now there seems to be a lot of QB injuries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Buzz Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 A lot of teams with questionable QB situations are doing pretty solid. Think Brady was right when he said there’s just a lot of bad football being played league wide. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhanYouDigIt Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Two of the worst QB’s in the NFL are a combined 8-1. Yes, it’s a weird season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A_Biased_Fan Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Has a very 1999 changing of the guard type feel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(for specifics, i'd probably suggest things like the number of teams expected to be good that are not, and vice-versa, stars not performing, strange outcomes to games, low scores etc) With Brady probably ending his career this year, BRees retired two years ago, No more mannings or Rivers or Roethlisberger in the league. It is just a changing of the guard to the next generation. It happens like this every 15 or so years. The entire league is going through a flux where schemes are shifting because of the caliber at certain positions are down while the caliber at others are higher. Pass rushers are better, but OLs are worse. QBs are in that not-prime-yet or over-the-hill area where they don't truly have a long-time vet who's hitting his prime. It's a weird season, but it's just a changing of the guard. Those happen. That being said, I think people looked too much at collections of talent around the league and thought those teams would be great and not factoring in that it's not the collection of talent that creates winners. It's how the talent plays together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramssuperbowl99 Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 2 hours ago, Hunter2_1 said: like, weirder than other seasons feel... Yes, my take on this is that more teams are comfortable blending rebuild periods over multiple years, whereas back in the day each team would want their starting QB for the next season locked in. Marcus Mariota, Andy Dalton/Jameis Winston, Baker Mayfield, Matt Ryan, Carson Wentz, and to some degree Daniel Jones all would have very different careers in the 2000's NFL. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bucksavage1 Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Lots of Parody going on in the NFL. Literally any team can with every week. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelKing728 Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 The Vikings are winning one score games. Yes, its certainly weird! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AkronsWitness Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 I would say the Ravens, Bengals, Broncos, Cardinals and Raiders being a combined 11-17 while the Jets, Seahawks, Giants, Vikings and Falcons being a combined 20-10 makes things a little awkward.

Magnifico Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 (edited) It seems, Bills and Eagles aside, Chiefs somewhat also, every team seems to have a massive weakness/injured unit/or a underperforming unit that can be exploited or will not show up for half a game that will cost you. Browns Defence Rams O-Line 49ers D-Line (yday) Saints WR's Packer's WR's Bucaneers Offense I'm sure there is more you could list for lots of other teams but most teams have a glaring hole or problem that wasn't seen as a weakness entering the season or typically injuries for the ChargIR's and 49IR's. Some lots of average football and .500 teams. Edited October 17, 2022 by Magnifico Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackstar12 Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Colts, Giants and Jets have a better record than the Packers, Bucs, Ravens, Bengals, and Dolphins. Yeah this season is wacky lol. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parity, but when the Jags win it does kind of feel like a parody. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
