i mean i feel bad for the guy

did Indy ever have a serviceable O-line?

[shaft.ed]

They were dog shit in 2016 and 2017(he didn't play in 2017).

isnt this when he got beat to shit though?

[shaft.ed]

ah
didn't remember that the snow boarding accident was a contribution
just remember him getting killed game after game

[shaft.ed]

Fun Stat: Between the years 2012-2015. Only 4 times did a non-Houston AFC South QB play all 16 games. 3 were Andrew Luck, 1 was Bortles. Of the 10 starting quarterbacks for those 3 teams during those 4 years, 6 of them are retired(2 more very possibly on the way).

to be fair, outside of Indy, the AFC South was a dumpster fire of QB 'talent'

Jacksonville: Blaine Gabbert and Chad Henne
Tennessee: Jake Locker, Matt Hasselbeck, Ryan Fitzpatrick, Zach Mettenberger, Charlie Whitehurst, Marcus Mariota

i don't know how much injuries contributed to them not starting a whole season

[shaft.ed]

I think Brisset is p good
probably better than a hobbled Luck

[shaft.ed]

gdi New England

[shaft.ed]

what a somewhat underwhelming win over the Washingtons, I'm o.k.
I guess

[shaft.ed]

I still cant decide if the NO Houston game was amazing, or just terrible defense

[shaft.ed]

Belichick casting some serious shade on his kicker

[shaft.ed]

can just rename it Refball

[shaft.ed]

Man the Cowboys and the Iggles can't decide who sucks more

Would be hilarious to see the Potatos take the division

[shaft.ed]

Washington dream will end when they lose to gb

i was hoping Washington would get the tiebreaker if they all ended up 6-10, but the Cowboys unfortunately win the three way

[shaft.ed]

I think Dallas can scrape together another win or two and that will probably be enough to take the division barring a loss to the Eagles.

The Dallas v Philly head to head

should

decide the division, barring Philly dropping games to NYG or Washington, given Dallas will have the head to head tiebreaker

[shaft.ed]

wow
Pats have to cheat to beat the Bengals now

[shaft.ed]

barring Philly dropping games to NYG or Washington,

lol

[shaft.ed]

are you referring to like..1995?

2008 probs

[shaft.ed]

The 2008 NFC West had the worst combined division record since the league expanded to 32 teams

Current NFC East is on pace to beat it

That was the point
no one's saying the NFC West has been consistently bad

But pre Wilson LoB Hawks, Harbaugh 9'ers, McVay Rams, it was bad for a couple years

[shaft.ed]

People said the same thing about the Cardinals

Spoiler:

ok that made me feel dirty to type

Say the Iggles do make the playoffs and DJax is cleared to play. They might make a run.
I mean the Iggles almost had Josh McCown playing wide receiver on Monday. Their group right now is 2 practice squad guys and a rookie.
They're hoping Nelson "I dropped two games with my own hands" Alligator gets healthy, that's how desperate they are for a receiver right now.

On the other hand they have a terrible secondary, so it probably doesn't matter either way.

Breaking down wild card participation in the NFC (which I hope you would accept as indicating the strength of each division)

From 2002-2008 (current conference alignment starts in 2002)
North-1
South-3
East-8
West-2

Note in this time East took up both wild card slots in back to back years. Also note that the West wasn't really an outlier

From 2009-2018
North-7
South-4
East-4
West-5

Much more evenly distributed


If we look at Superbowls
02-08
North-1/1
South-1/2
East-1/2
West-0/2

09-18
North-1/1
South-1/3
East-2/2
West-1/5

I guess the take home from this is that the West has been better at getting to and losing Superbowls than any other NFC division

[shaft.ed]

Enjoy watching your team not make the playoffs in a division where 6-10 might win the division.

i mean i got to see them win a Superbowl for the first time in my life
I'm good for a while
i'm not a Pats fan or something whiney like that

[shaft.ed]

and the worst the winner of NFC East will be is 8-8, we aren't as talented as the Seahawks

mathematically worst possibility is 6-9-1 since Dallas and Philly play eachother and are both currently 6-7

[shaft.ed]

At least go back to 2000 to make the time frames even

realignment was in 2002
Seahawks weren't even in the NFC in 2000

[shaft.ed]

I've never seen a playoffs so early determined

NFC is done aside from Dallas-Philly game
AFC is done aside from TEN possibly swiping PIT's spot

will be a jostling for seeds I suppose

[shaft.ed]

Enjoy watching your team not make the playoffs in a division where 6-10 might win the division.

welp
this didn't happen

[shaft.ed]

well if they can get the 6 starters that were injured over the last two weeks back and DeSean, and not Darby
they might have a chance

what is it now, 6 of 11 skill players off the practice squad or worse at this point? Two of the non-practice squaders are rookies, one of which left SUnday with an ankle injury and the other didn't catch a pass from Wentz until like week 20

2 OL over the last two weeks

[shaft.ed]

way less BS

like 2010 when the 7-9 Seahawks made it in place of the 10-6 Giants and Bucs?

[shaft.ed]

yeah the Giants never did anything out of the wild card

[shaft.ed]

some spicy upsets

[shaft.ed]

uh oh
Iggles back-up QB in the post season
Better watch out Seattle

[shaft.ed]

McCown tore his hamstring off the bone in the second quarter

dayum

[shaft.ed]

happy for the Chiefs and glad Reid finally got a championship

[shaft.ed]

I guess the take home from this is that the West has been better at getting to and losing Superbowls than any other NFC division

also, good job keeping it consistent SF
