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.
Dallas going along nicely
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.

Awesome game between the Seahawks and Rams. One of the best games of the season.
Russell Wilson is the man. Having an MVP kind of season so far.
The intercept on Goff near the end of the game was something else. Reminded me of that fingertip intercept by Polamalu.

Yeah it was a ripper game!
That intercept was amazing considering how his body was moving

that throw into the endzone and catch was insane. Then the intercept @mariner4life referenced was awesome- body gymnastics to pull it in. Looked dead set incomplete, until the replay.

Jay Gruden becomes the first coach to be fired. It's been a long time coming. Redskins need more changes though. They need a new General Manager badly. They need a whole reset.
A few more upsets this week. Raiders over Bears, Broncos over Chargers and Colts over Chiefs.
