The Colts have finally won a game! 21-12 over the Jaguars. Despite them finally getting that win, the Dak Prescott experiment has not gone well as he has 10 TDs and 36 INTs. The question is will he be re-signed or will he hit free-agency once again? It looks like Richardson is starting to get the nod over there at QB. Jonathan Taylor also not having a great season, 4.25 YPC with just 146 carries.
It's been tough to say the least for the Patriots who have lost 12 straight games after winning opening week against the Colts. If you want to have a simple reason why the Patriots are struggling, you can take a look at their QB carousel that's going on. 5 different starting QBs in 13 games is a problem. Derek Carr seems to have the starting spot for now, but Joe Milton is ready to take over.
30. Miami Dolphins
Coach Shawty is not having his typical 500 season. Usually we see win, loss, win, loss out of him but this season its basically been all loss. They have two wins this season, one against Baltimore and the other against New England. They have been losing closer games, but all in all they need to make some moves to turn this roster over. QB play has been actually pretty good too, Tua 22:22 TD to INT ratio.
29. Chicago Bears
Daaa Bears are at 2-10 currently and are just going through it right now. They have a win against the Saints and Ravens, and the rest of their games havent even been close. They are currently scoring only 20 PPG which is 3rd worst in the MOF, and they are giving up 35 ppg which is ranked dead last. Caleb Williams has 35 interceptions through 12 games and just 12 TDs, and that's the biggest reason they are 2-10.
The Eagles have won 2 games in a row and 3 out of their last 4 after starting 0-8. They beat Dallas which was a huge win, and Saquon Barkley has been going off with 468 yards rushing in his last 4 games. With the new animation that was put in the game, look for Barkley to get even stronger as the seasons goes on. The Eagles might be out of the playoffs, but they can play a nice spoiler towards the end.
27. Seattle Seahawks
The Seahawks have been playing better as of late, winning 3 out of their last 4. Of course sitting at 4-8 isn't pretty, but the division is still in reach with the Rams at 8-5 leading the West. Sam Howell hasn't been the QB that they were thinking he would be, so I expect Seattle to try and upgrade that position in the offseason. Kenneth Walker III has been everything for this team with 1,211 yards rushing.
The Vikings are down 8 spots to 26th after losing 6 out of their last 7 games. They just cant seem to put a complete game together and that's why they continue to lose. I still believe the Vikings and Kray are missing Danielle Hunter and its more mental than anything. He needs to call Houston and get him back to feel something. JJ McCarthy has looked good though, despite his 36 interceptions.
Welcome back BigReub! Reub took over Tampa at 1-7 and has gone 3-1 since his return to the league (1 loss was a sim). We all wish Coach Jfon well in his departure and now Reub is going to honor his legacy and possibly bring home Tampa Bay's first ever championship!! Im not sure if they will make the playoffs this season, but watch out for these guys in Season 79!
The Chargers have won 3 in a row and it looks like MackDaddy might be finding his stride here. The passing offense of the Chargers is very good with Herbert's 3,072 yards passing. They have 3 receivers with 600 yards or more with Rookie Bobby Manning 611, McConkey 645, and Slayton 665. MackDaddy spreads the wealth, now lets see if he can continue his hot streak and get back to the post-season.
I think Cheefer has turned the corner my friends! Up 7 spots as the Saints have gone 5-3 since starting 0-4, including a win over BigReub's Bucs and Domi's Cardinals. The real test is coming as the Panthers and Jets are looming large on their schedule. If they can even win 1 of those games, the Saints will have a shot to make the post-season. If they didnt lose 4 in a row to start the season, things would be different.
22. Houston Texans
The Texans are right in the thick of the wildcard race in the AFC. Currently sitting at 5-7 and losers of 2 in a row, they will need to make a push right now though. Rookie TE Terrell Irving has been the talk of the league as he has 81 receptions, 1,441 yards and 10 TDs through just 12 games. The next best receiver on the team has 30 receptions. FEED ME MORE!
What is going on with the 49ers? They are 1-5 in their last 6 games after starting the season 4-2. They are currently 5th worst in offensive yards per game with 264.08. They are a conservative team though, not really gaining alot of yards per pass as Purdy sits at a 6.91 AVG. It's just not getting the job done, the defense is very good for the 49ers and that's what they'll have to lean on if they want to make a run.
The Bengals are not quite having the same success as they did last season. They have lost 3 straight games before their win vs the 49ers. They find themselves at 5-7 and needing a lot of help to get back to the playoffs. It's really nobody's fault here because the numbers are good for the Bengals. Joe Burrow has 23 TDs and 25 INTs, which is good in MOF standards. Trey Benson has been running the ball well too, and Chase has 6 TDs.
19. Tennessee Titans
Coach Hicks has taken over for Pettigrew in Tennessee and the Titans have been reeling. Hicks took over at 6-4 and has 1 loss and 1 sim loss. Petti left on a 2 game losing streak so things are crashing and burning in Tennessee here. We all know that Hicks can play, and it's only a matter of time before he gets the hang of this team, this QB and starts his climb back to releveance.
Coach Domi has had an up and down season with the Cardinals as he sits at 500 and on the outside looking into the playoff scenarios. Currently the Cards sit a game and a half back of the Rams, who they beat back in Week 4, so if they can beat them again Week 16 they will have the tie breaker if it comes down to it. Bright spot has been Kyler Murray and his 19 TDs to 16 INTs ratio!
17. Baltimore Ravens
The Ravens have traded wins and losses consecutively since Week 3, which is why they are 6-6. Roster wise, the Ravens have one of the best squads in the game and that will absolutely help you along the way. They are in a fight for the division and wild-card right now, as they hold the 7th spot but they are also right there for the division too. They some tough games coming up, but they play Pittsburgh Week 18 to finish the season!
16. Denver Broncos
The Broncos started off extremely strong, with a 6-2 start to the season. Since then they have dropped 4 straight and have fallen right out of the playoff race. When you look at the strengths of this team, HB Rhamondre Stevenson is the top guy. 280 Carries for 1,581 yards and 15 TDs, he has been the majority of Denver's offense. They also traded Bo Nix and promoted Dorian Stephenson to QB1.
The Commish just refuses to go quietly into the night. They have won 3 straight games after a 4-game losing streak that had them at 3-6. Wins over Denver (2x) and the Giants have put them right back in the race. When you look at the team, the only real strength is that running game which ranks 2nd in the league at 159.33 yards per game. They also cause a lot of turnovers with the 3rd best differential in the MOF.
14. Atlanta Falcons
BigReg's Falcons find themselves at 14th overall in the rankings after dropping their last 3 games to fall to 7-6. They still have time to make up for the losses and if they can get to 10 wins they could have a shot at a wild-card. The Falcons have had a nice season, 7th in total yards per game given up and 11th in total offensive yards per game. Cousins has 34 interceptions but a much better season out of him.
13. New York Jets
I think we all expected Witness to be a bit better than 7-5 right now, but regardless the Jets still hold the 6th seed in the conference and have won 3 straight games. Things have started getting better when they made the switch from Aaron Rodgers to Jared Goff. Goff just knows how to win, and although he has more ints than tds, he's 3-2 and getting better, the Jets are a dangerous team heading down the stretch.
12. Cleveland Browns
The Browns are 1-3 in their last 4 games and have dropped out of 1st place in the AFC North. The Browns still hold a wild-card spot at this time, but they obviously want that division title again. Rookie QB Gordon McDonald has been great for Enzo, as he has a 101.34 rating with 19 TDs and 13 INTs. Offense isn't really Enzo's strong point though, as the Browns rank 8th in total yards given up per game.
11. New York Giants
The Giants have lost 3 out of their last 4 games and currently find themselves 7th in the wild-card standings. They went out and made a deal for QB Bo Nix who has been a little disappointing since joining the team. They believe it's an upgrade from Ridder though who wasn't getting the job done. RB Brian Robinson Jr. has been a beast this season with 1,133 yards rushing and 53 broken tackles.
The Jaguars have dropped 3 straight, and has anyone checked on BigDre after his loss to the Colts? Panic hasn't really set in because they have a nice lead in the AFC South, but things are a bit messy over there in Jacksonville and Dre needs to right that ship before he finds himself out in the first round of the playoffs. Lawrence, again having a nice season with 22 TDs and 21 INTs.
Dont look now but the Rams and Coach Boobie have won 7 straight games! This is the Boobie we are accustomed to and what we expected. Some will say that he hasn't really beaten anyone significant this season, but he just beat the Jaguars 24-17 too. With 4 winnable games left on his schedule, i think the Rams could easily finish 12-5 and win the NFC West. Rookie QB Luke Borum, 31 TDs and 19 INTs.
The Lions started off the season 5-0 and had the top spot in the rankings after a huge win over the Packers to begin the season. Since then things have been a little rocky for the Lions, going 3-4 in their last 7 games. However, they have won 2 straight again and are looking strong. QB Trey Lance has been very good with 24 TDs and 21 INTs with a QB rating of 104.1. Gibbs has also been strong with 1,017 rushing yards.
Dallas has had a bit of a QB carousel in the past season and a half and they have decided to go with Drake Maye from here on out, with the the trade of Penix. The Cowboys have lost 2 straight games, and right now are a tie breaker behind the Commanders for 1st place in the NFC East. Javonte Williams has been a truck with 1,163 yards and 46 BTK. The pass defense of Dallas is ranked 2nd overall.
You know, everybody is waiting for the perennial Gouch 2nd half collapse, but it's just not happening this time. THe Steelers won 4 straight games before dropping a game to the Bills last week. The Steelers are legit and they are here to stay. Gouch has the number 1 defense against the run, and that's most of the reason they are 8-4 and leading the AFC North.
Roclo's Commanders have taken the biggest jump of the rankings, up 15 spots to 5th overall. The offense is for real as they are scoring 34 ppg and have the 2nd best passing offense in the MOF. Jayden Daniels is having a monster season with 3,704 yards passing with 40 TDs and 29 INTs. Of course we have to mention WR Tyler Harrell who has 81 receptions, 1,555 yards and 20 TDs through just 12 games.
Coach Beast and the Bills are just on absolute fire right now, winners of 9 straight games and are tied for the top spot in the AFC with the Chiefs. We knew the Bills would be good this season, but did we really expect all of this? The Bills have a +14 turnover differential, as they just arent turning the ball over and are passing the ball very well with Josh Allen's 19 TDs and 18 INTs.
The Chiefs are having a great season, they just lost a straight sim to the Chargers but other than that have only lost 1 true game. They have the top spot in the AFC, with Buffalo breathing down their neck. Mahomes has looked fantastic with 35 TDs and just 17 INTs and a 70% completion percentage. The top target is speedy Xavier Worthy with 1,007 yards and 10 TDs.
What can we say about Mack that hasn't been said? That showdown with the Panthers in Week 16 will be for the top seed in the NFC and could determine home field advantage in the NFC championship game if they both get there. The numbers are just astonishing with this team. Love has 28 TDs and just 11 INTs. Josh Jacobs leading the MOF in rushing with 1,573 yards and 18 TDs. Team is just built to win.
Dev's Panthers are back in the top spot in the rankings as they are just one 4 pt loss away from being undefeated. Like we said in the Packers thread, that Week 16 game vs GB will have all eyes on it as it will determine the top seed in the NFC. The Panthers numbers are also extremely impresive. Bryce Young 31 TDs and 13 INTs with a 117.63 QB Rating.
