Maize and Blue Badge Set 2014-2017
The AFC North only has the best record because they played against the NFC South, which is a dumpster fire. I'd put the AFC East above them: Buffalo, New England, and Miami are all tough.
Um, please explain to me how Pittsburgh was "nearly beaten" by the Jags?And beyond, pitt has been a beatup for a few of those teams, namely getting nearly beaten by the jags, losing to the bucs, saints, and other bad teams. The steelers have been supremely inconsistent above all else.
You say that as if it were in the final 2 minutes of the game. This was three and a half minutes into the fourth quarter...WaterBomb
10-9 jags trail, scored fgs on their last two possessions, and had the ball at midfield. Bortles threw a pick-6...
Buffalo and Miami are tough but Pittsburgh and Baltimore (two of the most successful franchises) of the last 15 years arent?The AFC North only has the best record because they played against the NFC South, which is a dumpster fire. I'd put the AFC East above them: Buffalo, New England, and Miami are all tough.
The thing is, there is so much parity in the NFL that strength of schedule only tells part of the story. Look at a team like the Jets, who one week can go toe-to-toe with the Patriots and Steelers, and then the next week get blown out by a bad team. On paper, we know the Jets are one of the worst teams in the league. But you look at what they (and other bad teams) have been able to do at times and you are again reminded of the "any given sunday" rule.I believe Strength of Schedule shows things the way they are better than W-L records. For example, everyone could see the Raiders sucked, and I hate them, but I always thought it was unfair to put them dead last in all Power Rankings, since they hung in there with Seattle, NE and SD, and were up against formidable foes.
Also, fuck the Raiders.
The quarterback who in 7 seasons has never passed for 4000 yards? Ok. I'd take Eli who is easily a top 10 qb and way better than Flacco.Ah... there might not be another QB I want more leading my team this time of year than Joe F. Flacco
