Title pretty much says it all- we're ranked higher than the Jets (4 wins), the Falcons, Lions, Skins (3 wins), the Giants (2 wins) and Cinci (1 win). The Cardinals are 24th overall with their 3 wins though, so unfortunately the league doesn't think we're the best 3-win squad around. I guess it's something to work towards though. =) PS- you have to get all the way to #15 overall (Pittsburgh) to find a team with a winning record. Then #'s 14 (Colts) and #13 (Dallas) are at .500 overall. The league sucks this year folks...only 13 of 32 are above .500!
Better than most of the media thought going into the season for sure. The Jets, Giants and Washington are all what I pegged them to be. The poor Falcons have had absolutely everything go wrong. Its been almost like our 2007 season for them. The Lions have dealt with a ton of injuries and bad luck too. They've had a lead in almost every game they've played this season.
Matt Patricia sucks. The Lions are what they are. A fairly good offense with an atrociously bad defense that has regressed and cannot stop anyone in crunch time. Patricia's favorite scheme is to rush 2-3 and drop everyone into coverage. Give even Dwayne Haskins 20 seconds to throw and he will find a guy, which is exactly what is happening. He should 100% be on the hot seat. That Lions team has WAY more talent. They also have not had any unusual amount of injures, and both of their major injuries could have been foreseen and properly planned for but for poor front office/coaching. If I had to pick between Patricia and Flores as the more promising coach, it's Flores by miles. The Falcons ... man they have talent, they just can't get the defense right and just don't play with fire. Hard to see Quinn back. The crazy thing is how the NFC East is probably by far the worst division. Giants and Redskins are a notch down from us and the Jests, the Bills are way better than the Eagles and the Pats are above the Cowboys. What a joke.
