Comments:

  • Remember back after week 6, when I said the Dolphins have a problem knowing how to win? Yeah, still thinking that. I think it's just APR's love of teams that lose close to highly ranked oppnents that's keeping them in the top 10 right now..

  • Or back in week 8, when I wondered, is there any figuring the Bengals? Still wondering that, too.

  • Remember when the Giants had posted three convincing wins, and looked like they might have a chance to run away with the NFC East? Even now they're not totally out of it, but with games against the 49ers, Cowboys and Eagles still to play, they might have trouble making it past 7 wins this year.

  • The Cardinals have lost Carson Palmer for the season, which means that it's up to Drew Stanton to take them as far as he can. I suppose the good news is, it's not that huge of a drop off from Palmer to Stanton, the strengths of that team are really elsewhere.

  • I don't think I've ever seen a teams playoff hopes dashed as hard or as fast as the Bears have in their last two games. The Bears haven't historically haven't been quick to fire their head coaches, but Trestman is really the first one they've hired in the social media era, and there have been calls for him to be fired, even before the end of the season.

  • The Browns have a decent shot at just their third winning season since their 1999 reboot, and their second playoff appearance in that span. Note that APR has them ranked quite low, at #19. But if you look at their schedule, they've got close wins over teams like the Titans, Raiders, and Buccaneers, and an 18 point loss to the currently 1-9 Jaguars. It's certainly not the most impressive resume in the league right now.
