Apparition Posted October 8 Share Posted October 8 Bills: Allen suddenly struggling to complete 50% of his passes because it turns out you can't run an effective passing game with a bunch of JAGs at WR; Joe Brady reliving the Joe Brady experience from his time in Carolina Dolphins: No idea if their starting QB will ever play football again, and might die if he does Patriots: Turning to a rookie to start behind the worst OL in recent memory, reportedly because their 1st year head coach got bullied into it by a locker room full of scrubs Jets: Just escorted their head coach out of the building because he wanted to do something Aaron Rodgers didn't Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bomont Posted October 9 Share Posted October 9 How does this make the division "dysfunctional?" The Jets are the only ones who might quality for that tag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jets are the only ones who might quality for that tag. Patriots were reportedly on the verge of "locker room mutiny" leading up to last week's game. It was mentioned on a podcast hosted on the team's website, and then the podcast was scrubbed. And frankly, the team has been slowly drifting towards utter bedlam ever since Brady departed. The Dolphins, I would argue, have been varying degrees of dysfunctional ever since Stephen Ross took over the team. It stabilized in the McDaniel era, but giving a huge extension to Tua, given his history, and then watching him get concussed again, to the point his career may be in jeopardy may well be a tipping point. I'm obviously being facetious with the Bills, but they're only stable by virtue of being an actual contender. If things continue to slip for them, they may well start dealing with real dysfunction.

Again I still don't see that as dysfunctional, just an injury thing. The division is a mess though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter2_1 Posted October 9 Share Posted October 9 (edited) Can we find some dysfunction in the 2020 NFC E? 'The Football Team' won the division with 7 wins! Edited October 9 by Hunter2_1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted October 9 Share Posted October 9 The 2024 AFC South? If it’s not close, I would also submit the 2023 AFC South. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scar988 Posted October 9 Share Posted October 9 2014 NFC South anyone? Carolina won the division at 7-8-1 Satans were 7-9 Falcons 6-10 Buccs were 2-14. The final game of the year that year, if the Falcons had won the game vs. the Panthers, they would have been division champs at 7-9 with a tiebreaker over the Saints.

Soko Posted October 9 Share Posted October 9 Two weeks ago the Bills were tied with the Chiefs for most dangerous team in the AFC, now they’re dysfunctional? Meh. Dolphins are/were a good but not great team that has a QB+OL injuries, so they look about as good as you can expect with that. Jets are dysfunctional. Pats are bad, but expectedly so for a team in Year 1 of a re-build with a new FO/coaching staff/project QB. Nothing too out of the ordinary overall, IMO. Just last year had the catastrophic Panthers, HOF Desmond Ridder led Falcons, and two solid but not great teams in Tampa/NO, neither of which would I put in Buffalo’s territory. The year before that was the Jeff Saturday Colts, 3-win Texans, 7-10 Titans and division winning 9-8 Jags. The 2020 NFCE had a 7-9 division winner. List goes on. Don’t get me wrong, this AFCE might finish with a 10-11 win division winner, Jets at 7-8 wins, and Dolphins/Pats both bad (the former mostly due to injury), but that’s a far cry from “is this the worst we’ve seen?” type questions, IYAM.

AFlaccoSeagulls Posted October 9 Share Posted October 9 Every year the South divisions are routinely the laughing stock of the NFL, and for like an entire decade the AFCE minus the Patriots was, too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
