I mean goddamn this conference seems wrapped up doesn’t it? Not trying to jinx us but it really seems like injuries are our biggest opponent at this point.
The Ravens are fucking frauds. They’re a warm up for us. We literally made these guys look like the JV squad the last 2 meetings.
And sure the Bills and Titans may make us work for the win, but in all honesty we have to play pretty goddamn shitty to lose to those guys.
In order to have any shot at beating us you need 3 things:
1. Elite pass rush
2. Top 10 QB capable of making critical plays
3. Overall talented roster
Steelers are the only team in the AFC that has those 3 things, and even them it’s not like they’re some serious threat like the Patriots a couple years back, but they seem like the best of the rest.
I think at this point it would be disappointing for this team to not get to the SB 3 straight times.
We’re just that good, and we keep drafting well and get better and better. [Reply]
I gave them way too much credit for that Saints win considering it’s the only winning team they beat and it was in week 3. The Saints defense wasn’t very good at the start of the season, though to be fair the Packers were missing Adams.
Either way this certainly makes me feel better about a potential matchup in the SB. [Reply]

The Packers play a lot like the 2018 Chiefs. They have a pass rush but the back end is porous.
They're not particularly scary but they're certainly capable of getting into a shootout with the Chiefs. [Reply]
This is bar none why Mahomes is the league MVP. His numbers are close to Rodgers numbers while playing a significantly harder schedule. Also in spite of having a harder schedule Mahomes team has and will finish with a better record than Rodgers team. [Reply]

It's the same story for SEA. Right now the talking heads are wowing over SEA's 'improved' defense over the last five weeks or so, but then you look at who they've played. ARI, PHI, NYJ, NYG (McCoy), and WFT(Haskins). Basically they've played one QB that's in the top 15, the worst QB in the NFL (Wentz), the 2nd or 3rd worst QB (Darnold), and two back-ups that have no business starting in the NFL.

Yea I can see the similarities. The difference between the Packers and that Chiefs team is they’ve just been destroyed in some games going back to last year. When they get punched in the mouth they do NOT respond well at all. [Reply]

Green Bay's schedule is 5th worst in the league.
Only the Dolphins, Steelers, Colts, and Titans have lower SOS.
