NFC better than AFC at the top

Coming into the season everyone was drooling over how good AFC would be at the top, now, almost at the midway point of season, it appears the NFC is better. Philly, Dallas, San Fran, Minny are super bowl caliber teams,  whereas in AFC, it’s looking like just Buff and KC.


After Philly, I disagree. The Vikings and 49ers have been made to look pedestrian by certain teams.  The 49ers have their divisions number.  Dallas has a good defense, but are too erratic on offense.  
 

I agree the AFC is not what we thought they’d be.  After Buffalo and KC, I’d say the the 3-10 teams in the AFC and NFC are a wash

The NFC is far inferior to the AFC. I’ll take the Bills or Chiefs over anyone in the NFC. The only team I think is a remote threat in the NFC are the Eagles, but their schedule is/has been as soft as butter. They could go into the playoffs at 17-0 and have a real chance of getting blown out in their first game.

The Eagles are very good!

 

IMHO, NOT better than the Bills or Chiefs… but very good.

 

The entire rest of the NFL ranges from average-mediocre-tire fire trash! 

I’m not sold on the Eagles and won’t be until the playoffs. Their schedule is so soft that it’ll be tough to get an accurate read on them.

When Kansas City absolutely undressed SF last week that was it. The Bills/Chiefs are a tier above all the NFC teams...except Philly does look good.  Even though their schedule is cake, they will be a handful if they get to the SB.

Can you please send me some of what you’re smoking?

I don't think Minnesota is better than Cincy, and might not be as good as the Ravens and Titans. 

 

My tiers: 

 

- Bills

- Chiefs

- Eagles

 

- Dallas

- Cincy

- San Fran

 

- Dolphins

- Minnesota 

- Ravens

- Titans

 

- Seahawks (Edited)

- Chargers

- Giants

 

- Packers

- Bucs

- Rams

They also lost to the Ravens 19-17 on Sunday Night Football when their offense looked completely lost. People here in Cincinnati wanted Zach Taylor's head on a platter after that one. They're not a roll They just started playing bad teams. They have looked really good in the last game, but that was against the Falcons who have a lot of injuries in a secondary that wasn't good to begin with. Burrow puts up monster stats against bad teams and looks lost when he plays good defenses. Their offense is 80% 50/50 balls to Chase and Higgins (mostly Chase) on the perimeter. When teams take that away. Burrow holds the ball and takes sacks.  They have no plan B.

their inability to improve their offensive line play & not only protect Burrow but also open up running lanes for Mixon has been an issue from an outsider like myself. It has improved as the season has gone on, (they're not giving up 6-7 sacks anymore). But its almost as if Cinci treats Burrow like he's a Josh Allen & can do everything himself. Boyd's been dinged up a bit, Higgins & now Chase too. Cinci can't really afford for any of these 3 to miss time. If they find a way to get Mixon rolling that'll help them out immensely

Agree with the top 6.  I'd slot the Seahawks in there above the Giants.  NY barely moved the ball against them and lost outright.

Does anyone think an NFC team is better than the Bills or Chiefs?  No...both teams would be favored in the SB against any NFC team.

Yeah, looks like I erased them. Meant to have them above the Chargers as Seattle beat those two teams. They have pretty "soft" schedule and could win their the division, but I'm not yet convinced they will reach a higher tier.

You’re clearly not buying that the Jets are an actual contender.

Current playoff standings:

 

 1. Bills

 2. Titans

 3. Chiefs

 4. Ravens

 

  5. Jets

  6. Dolphins

  7. Chargers

 

  8. Bengals

  9. Patriots

10. Colts

 

IMO, it's a good bet that the Jets will fall and the Bengals will get in. If so, we could have a VERY competitive first round. I think the Chiefs would be the heaviest favorite but it might be less than a touchdown.

Nope. I think the Jets have a very good, playoff caliber defense, but the offense is a mess and could spiral the team out of the running. Their saving grace is a schedule that has them at home versus Bears, Lions and Jaguars. They almost need to win this week versus the Bills to get to 9-10 wins necessary to make the playoffs. Remaining away games are at Pats, Vikings, Buffalo, Seattle and Miami.

If those standings hold, the Bills don't play in the first round.
