NFL 2019

The Jets and the Dolphins are going to be locked in a tough battle all season. I genuinely don't know if they would regard finishing ahead of the other as a victory or a loss. The perfect result for either would probably be to somehow win both divisional games but somehow finish lower overall. God they are both stinking out the division.
What's the fewest combined wins in a single division? Might be threatened by AFC East.
Does for and against ever become a factor in the NFL? If so, the Pats and Bills should be golden.
No, it's strength of schedule, so the Bills might be in trouble in a tie break scenario.

The Redskins get destroyed at home by the Bears.
You'd think for the Redskins there has to be major change very soon - the Head Coach, GM and Defensive Coordinator are all on the hot seat big time.
The Redskins owner has an awful reputation and is a known meddler but even for him you'd think enough is enough. The fanbase has the pitchforks out big time.

3 weeks in. What are we seeing?
All roads lead through New England. Still. Not only are they good, they have the two worst teams in football in their division. Again (yep, the Jets lost all their good players already, and their O-Line stinks).
The Chiefs look likely to be back in the AFC champ game against them
Fuck knows who to trust in the NFC. It's a close division, but nearly every team has a flaw, or lost their superstar QB. Packers on the back of their D and Rodgers?
Denver fucking suck, and if Elway wasn't king of the city he would get fired for his decision making the last couple of years. We are not a win now team. We are not a win next year team either. Flacco is exactly what everyone thought. We can't score points. And teams have worked out everything revolves around stopping Miller and Chubb. And lo, guess how many sacks and forced fumbles they have combined through 3 games? 0 on each count. We're fucked, and lucky the Jets and the Dolphins exist. Our schedule is pretty tough too, so expect very few wins.

plenty of time for that to implode yet.

Giants get their 2nd win in a row without Eli at QB.
Panthers also get their 2nd win in a row without Newton at QB.
Patriots sneak past the Bills. Brady looked like Josh Allen in this game, but Josh Allen refused to be outdone at looking like Josh Allen.
Lions almost pulled an upset over the Chiefs, but got pipped right at the end. Mahomes didn't throw a TD in this game but they still put up 34 points.
Bucs and Rams are having a shootout at the moment. Bucs up 45 - 40 late in the 4th.

Yeeeeees, my second team.

Tough loss for the Broncos. They just got done right at the end. That's their 8th loss in a row.
Bears beat the Vikings and fans are really mad at Cousins. He's only thrown 3 TDs this season with some of the best weapons in the league.
He always flattered to deceive. No one should be surprised

Well, the last couple of seconds of the last couple of games haven't been very kind to the Broncos have they?

Cowboys play a decent team and all of a sudden don't look so good. Nice win Saints without Brees.
Architects of their own demise.
Shit tackling and too many unforced errors.

And to make a shit Broncos season even worse, Chubb gone for the season with a knee injury.

Generally has decent stats, but not a big game player.
5-27 against teams with winning records.
5-13 in prime time games.

Best description I've ever heard of Cousins is that he can take what the opposition defence gives him. So as long as his playmakers can get open or there's a error by the defence (or they're happy to give up short yardage gains) he can take advantage of it. But when the defence is dominant, or his playmakers are struggling he can't add anything. So if you had a team with a great defence or a stacked o-line and RB or even an elite group of receivers Cousins will be okay, but he's never going to be a difference maker.
Also known as a 'trap quarterback'. Good enough to get a big contract and keep getting starts. Not good enough to carry the team. See also Dalton, Andy.

DOn't know if you coined that phrase, but that's a bloody good description. Top effort
I wish! I first heard it listening to the Locked On Jets podcast in the Cousins free agency off season.
