Herbert is having a strange season. His efficiency numbers are pretty terrible.
He's averaging like 6.7 YPA, which is really bad. Only 21 TDs on like 630 attempts or something.
I'm going off memory but I was looking earlier and he had like 50 more attempts than Mahomes but 500 fewer yards and 15 fewer TDs while still throwing a similar amount of INTs.
I know people say he lost an offensive lineman and was dealing with injuries, but Mahomes has the two worst tackles in the league and lost his #1 WR, yet he's having close to a career year. [Reply]

Top 5 QB should still have better numbers than that in spite of those issues. [Reply]

I'd like to stay as far away from the Chargers as possible. Untill we HAVE to play them. :-) [Reply]

Two teams I would prefer KC avoid if they can in the playoffs, the LAC because of what everyone has been saying and the Bengals as KC just can’t seem to beat them. [Reply]

That 1 seed is a pretty sweet place to be.
Either the Bills or Chiefs will only have to play each other OR the Bengals, not both. Might also end up with either the Ravens or Jags at home off a bye.

The Chargers probably feel the same about playing us as we seem to beat them at the end most of the times we play them. [Reply]

There’s the top 3 then the next 7 or so could be debated.
I put Mahomes in a tier of his own. Then Allen and Burrow in a very strong tier. Herbert is right at the top of that next tier.
Yes this is effectively it. I’d say Allen is sort of in his own second tier because of what the good version of him is capable of but he’s been bad for months now by his standards. [Reply]

Having a top 5 QB a decade ago meant you didn’t have Brady, Manning, Brees, or Rodgers but you had your own future HOFer like Roethlisberger, Rivers, etc.
Now, it means you have a super talented player with major inconsistency (Herbert), an incredible athlete but limited QB (Hurts or Jackson), or washed up vet (Rodgers, Brady, etc).
The QB situation in the league is VERY top heavy right now. [Reply]

Part of its gotta be Andy’s schemes and getting guys open in space. Staley and his coaches just aren’t on the level of Andy. Although they’ve both been hurt this year, which IS a recurring theme… but could you imagine what Andy and Pat could do with Williams, and Allen? [Reply]

Such a huge advantage this year.
Jags or Ravens could certainly beat Buffalo. They have good run games. [Reply]
